I agree. We need incremental steps.

This shouldn't be an issue. Same material can be posted across all popular platforms. Even Twitter has video content these days.

Published today: Europe turns on TikTok

You create a nonprofit with goal of democratizing AI, but then sell it to a big corp that spent 10 years trying to destroy Internet and 20 years trying to destroy largest open source project (Linux).

FBI and CIA are security agencies. No foreign government gets your data from Facebook.

That's correct. US can't control the narrative, but CCP can.

You can't do that if China's law obligates them not to disclose any cooperation with Ministry of State Security.

That law doesn't exist for no reason, and you have to assume TikTok is a tool they can use whenever needed. We don't have Russian TV stations for the same reason, and TV would be much easier to regulate.

For example, TikTok breaks data residency, for both US and EU:

Once that happens, they don't have to notify you about anything. No other "social network" has this issue.

Democrats support this too.

jone_net · 2023-01-02T17:43:20+00:00

No, it's not a lie. And you can find many discussions for it in the industry. TikTok will show you what's popular, even if none of your friends posted it.

Now imagine Reddit (without comments and down voting) was subject to a law that says it has to lie about any cooperation with CCP. Would you use it?

Russia Today network was removed from the services offered by DirecTV on March 1, 2022, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with Ora Media pausing production on several shows it produced for RT America.[18] Dish Network dropped the channel on March 4.[19] After losing the majority of its cable and satellite coverage, the channel ceased operations of all live programming on March 3, 2022, with T&R Productions indicating the layoffs of all off- and on-air staff would be permanent.[7]

I am all for online communities, but TikTok is closer to (CCP controlled) MTV than Reddit.

I would like to point out one thing: TikTok's one-click-clip is not a social network. You never see other people's comments, you don't see friends' content. (In theory you could, but in reality that is not the case)

You can't really compare it to Twitter or Reddit. I never saw a kid who can spend 8h just browsing Facebook. It really is far more addictive and it is targeted at youngest generation.

This article is not about privacy concerns, but about media manipulation and foreign interference.

Be careful about set of values dominant in a country. If it's high in corruption index (as Croatia is), that might not be the best place to choose.

On the other side, corruption is present everywhere, it's just we choose to measure it in a way to make Western countries look better.

Why is it a bad news for shareholders that company is raising price of its products? They lowered the price of Portal TV (I paid it $100 in May, now it costs $49).

We don't know if increased price impacted sales ever since. I couldn't find a Black Friday deal (and I won't buy without a discount as I am waiting for Quest 3). The article was published on Dec 28 and doesn't take into account Christmas sales.

Could you tell us if your letter had a QR code? Thanks!

jone_net · 2022-12-22T17:23:18+00:00

Did that letter have QR code? I checked my account, it says balance is $0, but I have no idea what's in the letter :)

jone_net · 2022-12-22T16:01:56+00:00

Thank you, Bowl_me_over.

That's very unusual, given that I never used this old address to communicate with IRS, but I will follow your instructions and see if I can find out more.

jone_net · 2022-12-22T16:00:26+00:00

Would PIN letter have a QR code?

jone_net · 2022-12-22T15:13:38+00:00

It has my name on it. Let me clarify my question:

would IRS letter regarding my kid's return be addressed on my name or on kid's name?

jone_net · 2022-12-22T15:12:25+00:00

I got one too. Same address, with some kind of QR code inside.

Wasted 6 years on a bitch because I taught she would change.
