Exactly. They really sealed the deal when they sent a push message to get people to call Congress and stop the ban. https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/7/24093308/tiktok-congress-ban-push-notification

"TikTok can be used to influence our citizens politically" * TikTok proves it true immediately on a personal level for legislators * "See!"

Couldn't have found a better way to put gas on that fire. You're supposed to ~bribe~ lobby when they start talking shit.

Exactly BYD is their biggest problem. Also they can't claim higher build quality so you'd really pay more for just the brand.

If you're an ssshole don't you come back as an insect or animal? That would mean rich folks would have to do actual good to avoid that. Whatever their policies, after the first few trust fund dung beetles and assorted other multi-lifetime embarrassments, they'd probably snap out of it.

Hey check out the cockroach yacht club guys! Lol, how did that forced birth + soul tracking debt thing work out for you!?

Then like half their debtors would achieve nervana and fuck off to heaven or whatever.

I think the kharma religions, this would take care of itself.

They stole the DNA data of users with recycled passwords. Last I saw this was 14,000 users and I was notified that at least one was transitively related to me. So they didn't get my DNA, just one or more user's view of my profile. I got out before a real breach happens and they do privilege escalation or phish an admin or something. Or like OP said go into bankruptcy/acquisition and sell their most valuable asset.

They say that they do, so I'll be getting a juicy $5 class action check if that was a lie. Most companies that implimented GDPR didn't do a lot of if eu actually delete type code. The cost of determining EU citizenship incorrectly is pretty high.

Yeah download and delete your account + data if you still have one.

"China also launched a PR campaign last fall with what appeared to be the coordinated release of several hit movies about the dangers of southeast Asian scam centers. The most popular of these, No More Bets, tells the story of a computer programmer and model who are lured abroad by a job offer and forced into scamming through imprisonment and torture. The film, which made $500 million at the Chinese box office..."

"Notably, Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo all have the same problems, and in many cases, Google performed better than Bing and DuckDuckGo by the researchers' measures."

Click bait headline. I see they're good at SEO themselves.

They dropped to second place for DUIs at least. BMW drivers are nearly twice as likely to be caught driving drunk.

I think we're in violent agreement. The problem is you need someone in licensing/legal to take a risk at this point to even use AGPL on a corp machine. Figure out the law and the license, then make judgement calls on some slightly fuzzy parts. They're just not going to do it. Maybe in a few years if someone tests "the right" model, whatever that is in court and prevails. Meaning the dev gets paid and the user retains intellectual property that is either tangential to the product or provides enough value to be it's own product that's still sellable in the same way as before the suit.
