ByteDance will get up to a year to divest TikTok or face a ban.

          Were socialists a persecuted ethnic minority?

          Already they are planning to hinder open hardware (RISK-V) as it could help China and will certainly attack foss software as well.

      It’s not even a ban, though. TikTok will just be owned by a US company instead of a Singaporean owned company. Literally nothing else will change, I hate to break it to you - cringe app will still be used by millions.

        ByteDance has said they won’t sell, and the US audience is <15% of their monthly userbase.

          We’ll see, I suppose. I’m highly doubtful at the moment.

      Do you think banning tiktok increases or decreases Biden’s popularity?

              I know plenty of people who will be pissed off about TikTok ban and all of them don’t vote. They don’t do fuckin shit with their lives to improve it.

              I just want you to reread this and think about how you sound to other people for a minute.
