Its not ok when it’s an American company, and America has a long way to go on this.
However, enforcement is impossible when China is the one controlling it. There is no limit to what they are allowed to do with the data.
China is banning any Chinese personal data from leaving the country because they are afraid we would handle the data the same way they do foreign data.
Race has nothing to do with it. Dictatorship does. It’s bad if any dictatorship or unfriendly country does it.
Bad precedent of banning widely popular apps that do data mining and influence and that are controlled by non friendly dictatorships? If VK was popular in the US, should it get banned, or should we just let it do its things?
You’re getting downvoted but you’re right.
Giving so much information and influencial power to a dictatorship is crazy. China is not a friendly country, they are on the brink of a war with Taiwan, they commit genocides, and have the power to rewrite history.
Sure, Musk and Zuckerberg also influence elections, but at least they’re under American law. TikTok is not just “some” Chinese company. It is controlled by China.

Well, insurances are profitable companies. No matter how you look at it, in average they will always make more money of a single insuree than what they pay out. Knowing this, if you can afford the potentially expensive hit, it’s better to not insure or insure as little as possible.
That been said, not many people can afford to not have an insurance as a big hit can create a lifelong debt. Whereas when you do have an insurance, they find a way to not pay and you end up with a lifelong debt. Oh wait…
If you want to avoid silos and want to be able to find the data on search engines, there is no good way to avoid it.
I believe the alternative is worse. We have lost so much to the old internet. Regular old forums used to be easy to find and access.
Now, everything is siloed. No good way to publicly search for information shared on Discord, on X, on Facebook, on Instagram. Even Reddit which has a deal with Google only now. So much of current information used to be just a search away and is disappearing to closed platforms that requires to log in.
I know they do, but it’s lacking so many languages.
I hope Mozilla can benefit of a good local translation engine that could come out of it as well.
I’ve set up mine to automatically start on a specific HDMI port, that fixed the issue for confused family members.
To find the feature though was not easy. Had to look up how to access the hotel mode hidden menu. Apparently LG has extra features it only wants hotels to be able to use.
Am I missing something? Why does whatever Grok say is considered relevant? Is it aware of the details of the policy changes from X?
I see life threatening behaviors all the time from car drivers too. I do agree that some bikers are not respecting the rules and do not ride safely, but car drivers do that too, and when they do so they actually endanger life.
Statistics will tell you very clearly that bikers are way less dangerous to pedestrians and others than car drivers.
Thank you.
Did you think Amazon didn’t know how Honey operates?
Difficult to prove the latter of course, but out of the two, it’s not what most people seem to be complaining the most about.
You’d need the first one to get big enough to pull up the second one anyways.
That would arguably be even worst.
I’m struggling to understand how everyone thought Honey made money. I have assumed from the first time I saw an ad for them that this is how they operate. It’s not like it’s difficult to prove or disprove either.
The fuel tax doesn’t even cover the damage your car does to the road.
That’s not how it works.You don’t need an app to know that someone is tracking you with an Airtag (or compatible) or a Google tracker on either iOS or Android.
