noooo not the cringe app! everything but the cringe app

yes, ban on tiktok is a net positive

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.

First they came for TikTok..

tiktokers aren't a persecuted ethnic minority

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.
