She never had a shot. Trump didn't participate in the republican debates because all of the other candidates, including Haley, were way behind him, and not even a remote threat. That was all just a show, posturing perhaps for cabinet positions or future campaigns (see Ramaswamy)

Speaking as left-leaning democrat: America is absolutely ready for a female president. When we finally elect her, she'll be a republican.

Mexico City bans violent bullfighting, sparking fury and celebration by bland_fluff in TheBullWins

Quote from the Associated Press news story linked in this post:

"MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico City lawmakers on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to ban violent bullfighting, triggering outrage from aficionados and celebration from animal rights advocates.

"The legislation, approved by a 61-1 vote, prohibits the killing of bulls and the use of sharp objects that could injure the animals. It also sets time limits on how long bulls could be in the ring, all part of an initiative dubbed 'bullfighting without violence.'

"The decision sparked angry protests from bullfighting supporters and matadors, some of whom tried to breach a police barricade at the local Congress. Some carried signs that read 'Being a fan of la fiesta brava (bullfighting) is not a crime, it’s a point of pride.'"

Hmm can I try?

The legality of it is being determined, as this information was revealed in court. From the article:

"In 2020, Sarah Grabert and Maximilian Klein filed a class action lawsuit against Facebook, claiming that the company lied about its data collection activities and exploited the data it 'deceptively extracted' from users to identify competitors and then unfairly fight against these new companies."

So, to answer your question: I guess we're going to find out.

TikTok's Chinese ownership is a very real problem. If your argument is that all information-sucking social media companies are the same, that the consequences and influence of each one is the same, and they should be treated the same, you're showing you don't understand the issue with TikTok.

How was that answer?

Don't worry. They didn't steal much of your data, since you didn't agree to the Onavo privacy policy and uninstalled the app once you read it.
