Google showed that they’d comply with the Chinese government to operate in the country years ago.
Google refused, as a consequence, are blocked by the Great Firewall. Microslop bent the knee and continues to operate until China gets an alternative going.
Harris could have won, when she first announced, and then picked the left candidate for VP, her popularity skyrocketed, then cratered as she embraced the policies that had just killed the Biden campaign.
A democrat cannot win on “we’re going to be Republicans, but more competent”.
Which is exactly what dems are planning when they fund ICE, but ask that the gestapo stop wearing masks.
The issues with tiktok started in 2020 when Trump threatened to ban it after they organized RSVPing one of his rallies and he performed in a mostly empty stadium.
Tiktok responded by hiring state department ghouls to oversee moderation, then 2020 popped off and they clamped down even harder.
There were never issues with the chinese government. The issue was always with the US government.
Tiktok was lit until late 2020, when they really started clamping down on subversive content at the behest of the US.

How bad are things over there?? In Vietnam, all the kids use high-powered electrics until they’re like 14 or so and can get on a 125cc, it shocks me when I see kids on major roads, but it doesn’t create the danger to the public you’re describing.
It won’t create a utopia, but displacing cars with 2-wheelers and giving kids more independence is good for everyone’s mental health.
Riding a motorbike in Hanoi is infinitely less stressful than driving a car on any stroad in America. In China on an ebike you get the unique ability to ride both where cars or bicycles go.
The issue here isn’t ebikes, its unsafe behavior. If you need speed limits, put in speed limits. It would be silly to limit cars and trucks to 20 horsepower instead of setting the appropriate speed limit for where they’re driving.
Look around you. Do people look just fine?
Requiring registration plates, training, a license, insurance, safety gear, and making them road only.
That’s the thing, these things are light enough they’re perfectly fine anywhere a bicycle can go. If you need speed limits, enforce speed limits.
Correct, by the restaurants. But that doesn’t stop individuals from suggesting we eat the mushrooms that make you trip. I’ve heard people from Yunnan have a reputation for this sort of thing.
Eh, I’m sure they wouldn’t offer if it was unpleasant.
Oh lol yeah, I’ve had a couple chinese friends from over there tell me we should hang out and try as much, I guess mushrooms don’t count as drugs in Yunnan.
I should be able to try some over the summer.
You don’t like your cat checking your breath?
You pay money to drink from the thames??
Progressive sells this as a service, you put their tracker in your car and it adjusts your rate based on driving patterns.
Literally any country can subpoea car manufacturers data. And the data simply would not be collected if regulations required it. This applies to every country.
What’s your deal with China? 98% of your posts seem to be any articles you can find that amount to “china bad”.
similar report about China’s BYD you are whatabouted to death
Nobody pretends that BYD cars don’t do that. Plenty of articles get posts here trying to create a false impression that China is uniquely bad in this regard.
You can have data sovereignty by mandating as much, Chinese cars already are built to comply with regulations of their markets.
The only reason both the Trump and Biden admins wouldn’t release the files is if powerful names within both parties are in it.
We expect the republicans to build fascism. We don’t expect the only opposition to fascism at the federal level to maintain and expand those same institutions.
The dems expect us to vote for them, but fund Trump’s gestapo at every opportunity.
Trusted sources that promoted the same lies that got us into Iraq and Afghanistan.
As far as known globally, you mean known to America and its vassals. Muslim countries have sent delegations to investigate Xinjiang.
But I’m sure the guys who’ve been bombing muslim countries for 50+ years should be trusted to give a shit about the human rights of Muslims.
Which issues are you talking about? That it collects as much data as Insta and Snapchat?
But you don’t hear shit about those two, because 1. They’re owned by US companies who handed user data to the US from day 1 and 2. They were never used for organizing against the regime.
The issues I’m talking about is that the US was influencing the algorithm.
