Aww I'm glad ppl changed their mind about tiktok
Nobody changed their mind about tik Tok. It would still be beneficial for it to be banned.

if a ban on VPNs is tied into that, then it becomes negative and neither should happen. VPNs are way more important than tik Tok

Net neutrality was about whether or not ISPs should be allowed to throttle traffic to sites and make you pay a premium for full speed access to say Netflix, or have a basic tier that could only access sites X Y Z and nothing else. It was never a discussion on whether any individual site should be banned or not

The ideal of "end to end" was abandoned a long time ago, yes.

Banning TikTok while allowing Google and Facebook to run wild was already absurd, this is just an added layer of absurdity. More proof that these dinosaurs in congress have no real desire to prevent data collection and protect privacy, they are just working on behalf of american social media corporations. Surprise!

No it isn't. It's just branded differently there.

no, tiktok itself is banned in china. the similar company that operates there under the same corporate umbrella is much more restrictive on speech

banning tiktok is fucking dumb, just regulate it along with the other major social media companies. banning vpns is mental. congress never seems to do much that is actually beneficial but they sure do try hard to systemically destroy internet freedom

Banning VPNs is the real reason they are passing this bill
Not VPNs in general. Hollywood lobbyists seek to destroy anonymous VPNs that don't keep logs.

Im getting annoyed with how technology and media related to it is gearing up to become more censored and restricted, and also AI gets free rein, because it all benefits corporations. And many people dont care either because it doesnt effect them, or because they think the people worried about it are weird or an issue.

I haven't read the bill but I did read somewhere that it specifies content from China, Russia, NK, Cuba, and Venezuela would also be banned in a way that could introduce amendments in the future to ban other content depending on who's in charge at the time. Been busy so I haven't been able to verify this. Don't even really want to think about this shit tbh seems pretty fucking dystopian lol

As a form of birth control that we should pay tax for, yes I'm against it. Medical/rape/incest reasons should all be considered however.
