China and USA are both same in a way so I dnt give a f..k which side wins. World will be a little better place with one less bully
Where will the zoomers go?
We need a distributed social platform. Distributed currency system. Distributed personal information privacy. Distributed AI. Where’s the tech YC?
A huge shame it'll be undone in 24 hours. Shouting out Trump by name in the ban message is hilarious, they are really doing their best to tie his hands.
It's extra bizarre, because Trump is the one that made the initial move towards banning TikTok during his first term.
Maybe if he’s feeling himself he’ll say it was a 4D chess move to make Biden look like a bozo by being the one to ban it just for him to swoop in and undo the ban in 48 hours.
