Waiting for memes to all converge on crabs.

I’m sure that the admission staff will take your application very seriously if you claim you were James Bonding it up for a few years.

That’s not how employment NDAs work. They never forbid a candidate from disclosing that they worked for a company and the general nature of their work. They just forbid the candidate from talking about specific knowledge gained at the company.

Do not use this excuse because it’s an instant red flag for anyone who knows even a little about the hiring process.

I’m doing my part

In evil totalitarian China, you can be banned from buying high speed rail tickets if you default on your loans.

In good democratic freedom America, you can be denied all forms of air travel because your name happens to resemble one that’s on a secret list.

If porky owns all the houses he can raise rent to much higher than “market” rates due to having a monopoly on an inelastic good.

That’s not how jurisdiction or extradition works. Invoking the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to block the death penalty from being applied to the politicians of a State Member that allows and applies the death penalty domestically is also a hilarious thought, even if the UN had any way to intercede to stop the death penalty from being carried out (it does not).

Why should American or Western laws or morality apply to a crime that occured overseas? If Pakistani or Iraqi law allows for the death penalty for mass murder, who is anyone to say that they’re not entitled to try and execute an American politician in accordance with their laws?

In fact, who are “we” even in this situation?

America has executed tens or hundreds of thousands of black and brown people all over the world, without trial, for much lesser acts of alleged terrorism than publicly threatening to kidnap US legislators.

Someone who’s good at the economy help me budget this. My country is dying.

The point is not to balance the budget. The point is cruelty.

Most of those bans are organizations saying that employees can’t install TikTok on organization issued phones and computers, which is not at all comparable to an overall ban? My work doesn’t allow me to play video games on work computers or drink on work property, but that’s not at all the same as a law banning all video games and alcohol.

Look at the Russian propaganda war in e.g. Germany, that shit can have a negative effect on the defensive abilities of a nation.

Yeah one problem with human and civil rights is that they tend to have negative effects on the defensive abilities of a nation. War would be so much easier if you could just arrest all the peace protestors, or hold suspected enemy agents without trial, or force people to work without pay in defence industries, or force women to give birth to more people so you can conscript more soldiers.

So let’s just do away with free speech and habeus corpus, reinstitute slave labor and force women to pop out lots of kids. Then Germany can defend itself again, just like the last two times.

Goalpost shifting, your original post said that TikTok is known to be spyware on a much greater level than anything else on this list.

Your statement isn’t true even if you prove that Tiktok is the worst offender on the list. You need to prove that Tiktok is worse to a much higher degree than anything else on that list. Your own source straight out says that at least 3 of the other companies on the list engage in similar practices.

TikTok, regardless of the country of origin, is known to be spyware on a much greater level than everything else on this list.

From the very first link:

TikTok is not the only company that uses its pixels throughout the internet. The report found Google, Meta and Microsoft, among others, use these trackers.

Rigorous scholarship there, champ.

TikTok is not the only company that uses its pixels throughout the internet. The report found Google, Meta and Microsoft, among others, use these trackers.

Your first link has a sentence expressly disproving your own thesis, so in addition to concluding you are a racist, I can also now conclude that you didn’t read your own sources.

Is there some way to trick the chatgpt training bots by intentionally mislabeling data? Like can I upload some furry pornography tasteful erotica and label it “AP US history assignment - Civil War”?

If it’s really about the military as you suggest then the extremely easy solution is to order service members not to use Tik Tok.

Passing a specific law to compell the sale of one specific company is arguably some sort of Bill of Attainder, which I’m sure ByteDance’s lawyers will be argueing as soon as Biden’s pen touches paper.
