Government censorship will cause TikTok’s services in the US to shut down, which will result in most users moving to another social media platform.

I think most people already use multiple platforms, so the only difference will be the time they put into their new main social media.

Thank you.

Rejecting science, no good.

You have the science, good!

Do you have kids or pets that like to play with the toilet paper roll?

If yes, then Under.

If no, then Over.

Props, keep up the good work!

I will try and do the same, hahaha

Awesome!

Thanks for the additional information, about INSTC!

New of BRICS and going away from petrodollar, it will be in the history books, if allowed.

Interesting news keeps coming out.

India has been ramping up purchases of both coking and thermal coal from Russia since Moscow redirected exports from EU countries and offered substantial discounts to Asian buyers. Despite its efforts to expand renewable energy projects, India continues to rely heavily on coal as its primary source of power generation. Huge increase in Russian coal exports to India

Consulting firm Yakov and Partners (formerly McKinsey Russia) has projected that India will surpass China as the top buyer of Russian coal within the next decade.

Moscow is seeking to both ensure interconnectivity throughout the INSTC and launch regular freight shipping lines, President Vladimir Putin has said. The volume of goods shipped via the INSTC is expected to almost triple over the next seven years. The Russian leader has suggested establishing a logistics hub for the corridor on the African coast.

Nice!

Some may say, hobnobble…

Does not sound as good as yours though, hahaha

What about the Hobble…, half-hobbyte…?

‘Saved’

Thanks for reminding us and for letting us know, I will have to make time to set one up for myself!

Chinese President Xi Jinping is on his first trip to Europe in five years, which is likely to be dominated by Russia’s war in Ukraine as well as economic strains between Beijing and Brussels.

The first stop will be France, with Xi due to hold talks in Paris on May 6 with French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, before travelling south to the Pyrenees.

After that, he will travel to Serbia and Hungary, two countries that have maintained close ties with Russia despite its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

But the trip also comes amid a deteriorating global security climate, with the war in Ukraine now into its third year and at least 34,683 Palestinians killed in Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Gaza.

In February, McDonald’s cited boycott campaigns in the Middle East, Indonesia and Malaysia for sales growing just 0.7 percent during the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with a 16.5 percent growth the previous year.

Yeah, not too sure why you would forcefully see it as a threat…

If you already see it and think of a country as an enemy (boogeyman) than anything people from that country or gov’t says would look like a threat or to be a scary statements…

At least that is how I see it…

I hope we shall continue to analyze our own way of thinking and talking about such topics!

Maybe in your circles people are okay with banning a social media company due to perceived ‘spying’, but in reality we know why the blues/reds want to ban it.

People in my circles are fighting and helping share why these bans are bad for our society and free speech in general.

I hope that helps you see a different view from what you are used to!

The sell-or-ban measure was signed into law by US President Joe Biden on Wednesday.

This is the important part you might have missed, without a president signing it into law it means nothing.

Similar to when Biden said he would never sign a M4A bill (4yrs ago), he would veto, which became a deal breaker to some on the far left.

Yes, that is just another reason the DNC/Democrates will continue to lose support, compared to 2020.

Some also left the duopoly due to following the DNC Fraud Lawsuit, Bernie Sanders 2016.

Interesting times we are living in, we shall continue to follow!

I wonder if Tiktok will just make a seperate company that would comply before the 2025 ban comes to effect…

Or they will just exit the US market, interesting stuff.

I still think Glenn Greenwald views on this topic hold true.

“ByteDance doesn’t have any plans to sell TikTok,” the company posted on its official account on Toutiao, a social media platform it owns.

The sell-or-ban measure was signed into law by US President Joe Biden on Wednesday.

“We are confident and we will keep fighting for your rights in the courts,” said TikTok boss Shou Zi Chew in a video posted on the platform this week.

“The facts, and the Constitution, are on our side… rest assured, we aren’t going anywhere.”

The Chinese government has also dismissed such concerns as paranoia and has warned that a TikTok ban would “inevitably come back to bite the US”.

More gov’t censorship and control over social media…

That would work!

I seem to prefer the pronunciation of the prefix of ‘implode’ vs ‘explode’, a bit too much, hahaha

Yes, that one would work!

Seems, I wanted an excuse to use the word, ‘implode’, hahaha
