     @sun I hate tiktok as much as the next guy but I do find it uncanny that the government will (or wants to) ban an entire app on a whim

     There's a point where the amount of "coincidences" nullifies that rule as probabilities for it to be valid gets too high.

     Correlation doesn't equal causation. It's moreso the social climate of loneliness causing this.

     I use my phone for shit like sshing into servers in a pinch to fix stuff, also other shit like downloading or streaming music or postinton here. I run lineageOS and I don't really care about firmware blobs.

     It's a lesser evil yes, thus also a double edge sword people need to be conscious of.

     @dushman @sun @mangeurdenuage They run GNU Linux-libre and don't connect to the internet by default, so they're safe.
     
     If you want to rebase the patches on the newest version of Linux-libre, feel free to go right ahead.

     Extremely relatable, and you know why we don't care?
     
     Because proprietary social media doesn't respect free speech, they "moderate"/censor constantly, and on top of that they normalize it so much that the cattle doesn't realize it. Them being on the receiving end by some bigger and worse bully feels like poetic justice.

     @sun There's no first amendment ("free speech") issue and no constitutional right to use TikTok as the medium for spreading one's message. Where there's a constitutional issue is the equal protection clause, because they didn't ban spying (not even spying for China), they banned one particular implementation, while ignoring all the others doing similar things. That's the reason why RedNote wasn't in the same crosshairs despite likely doing the same things that TikTok does.
     
     I'm not a fan of the effort to remove them simply because they didn't target the action instead of the actor. (Because after all, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, etc would all likely be caught by the same rules. And so would auto makers and auto insurance companies -- Allstate is being sued by Texas over using people's cars' data feed to set rates -- and many more.)
     
     I see everyone on Bluesky whining about free speech, as though that was the relevant issue. But not a one of them grumbled about government sponsored efforts to suppress Gab or the little Gablets (Truth Social, Parler, Minds, etc), which actually were free speech related. They wouldn't know free speech if an unapproved viewpoint reached out and slapped them in the foreheads.

     @sun well considering they're mostly concerned about who owns it and not what it does, I don't really care. It's not so much a free speech issue anyway.
     
     It's like if they decide the same for TP Link -- "become American owned or we'll ban you" -- it's within their purview I guess.
