Hell, a Nazi webcomic creator just got doxxed and it got scrubbed off the very next day. Nazis are made men on Elon's Twitter. Turns out, he's a self hating Puerto Rican who hates that he is circumcised.

People like him are fairly common in positions that require high security clearance levels, because the more fundamentalist religious types generally don't drink, use drugs, or do anything else that might raise flags on a background check, and tend to be "rah rah America" as a bonus. There are a lot of Mormons and 7th Day Adventists working in US military intelligence.

Apparently Grindr was also a Chinese company that was force-sold for similar reasons so this isn't even unprecedented if they do it. I have never used Tiktok and never will so I firmly don't care other than finding it funny.

In fact a lot of European companies have been bitching and whining about that regulation because they have to put tons of resources into adhering with them for "domestic" European markets while their global competitors have the ability to just ignore European markets. In reality the implementation has been a massive clusterfuck, but over all I think it is a positive thing to try to bring about some regulation onto internet data gathering. But if the purpose of those regulations is to bring about European Google into reality, then it is a failed policy, because it hurts European business as much if not more than their global competitors.

Isn't the issue with tiktok related to the fact that the Chinese government insists on having some sort of back end access to the app for security reasons? I could be wrong but I think the fact teens use it to disagree with US policy plays very little role in the attempt to ban it.
