[quote=Anonymous]I find the whole complete inability to explain why this is a risk when Meta and Google (whose parent company Alphabet is CHINESE) don't pose the same risks.

This reads like an insane amount of lobbying push and a threat to fund challengers to anyone who refused to agree. It is the most logical answer compared because the nebulous "national security" concern argument falls apart when our data is being sold to the Chinese by competitors like Meta.

I will miss the cooking videos, the home repair videos, the videos making fun of the cooking videos and home repair videos. I will miss the dances and silliness. I will miss feeling like my feed actually reflected my interests unlike Facebook which is an abandoned mall full of ridiculous AI posts and ads trying to sell me cars like the pack pages of a newspaper in the 1980's.

I imagine Trump will probably get it back online, but will screw with it to his advantage...which is sort of exactly what Mark Warner said the national security concern was...propaganda.

The whole thing seems like a very calculated end run to get rid of a competitor through lobbying...which I guess isn't illegal? [/quote]
