    TL;DR; executive order < law

    Apple is doing something good here regardless of what you feel about tiktok. Don’t bend over backwards to do what Trump might want or demands without legal backing. Make the administration force you every step of the way

    I.e. don’t be a pathetic extreme right collaborator like zuck or bezos

    Wow, it includes a Marvel game. That’s so fucking weird. Disney has a game that is banned on iOS because it’s owned by a foreign adversary.

    The world makes less and less sense post 2016.

      Come on over to redNote, it’s literally a gigantic cultural exchange, maybe the biggest so far in history

        Right, you’re exchanging your personal data for Chinese propaganda.

        lol

          That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. What do you think happens when you use American apps? 😂 You’re literally just scared of it because you were told it’s bad. Know how I know? Because you haven’t tried it.

          Yeah that Chinese propaganda? Memes and recipes for cola wings. Educate yourself and maybe stop listening to all that American propaganda.

            I trust Google with my data way more than I trust any Chinese based company. If Daddy Xi asks for a Chinese company’s data, he gets that company’s data. I would even trust Meta or X with my data more, and I have roughly zero trust with Meta/X.

              I’d trust China with it more because they’re 7,000 miles away and don’t have jurisdiction over me.

              Sounds like you need to learn to mask your data then, can’t steal anything if it’s all obfuscated. And I stand to my point, after spending the past 4 days just chatting with regular Chinese folk a lot of things I’ve heard over here just stopped making sense.

              Believe it or not, they’re regular people too (Crazy I know) And no matter what your stance is on it, it’s undeniable the US govt has a massive hate boner for both China and Russia, and has a vested interest in shit talking them, the people I’m talking to are coming to the same realization that Americans aren’t all rich and greedy, and that kind of cultural exchange is priceless and infinitely wholesome.

              who knows I may try to break into the Russian internet sphere next and see what else I’m missing out on.

                You’re not going to believe this, but China has a vested interest in shit-talking the US as well and they do so on a regular basis.

                  Hmm… I’ve never seen China and Bernie in the same room. Do they say the stuff Bernie says?

    It’s at least something. Too bad no one else has the balls to do this.
