This was an email from my antivirus company. No return email.
================================================
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has called on the CEOs of Apple and Google to remove TikTok from app stores, due to its “extensive data harvesting” and China’s ability to access that data.

DP is social media.
 
Well that's a good way to silence the majority isn't it.......

Perfect timing: Let's change our laws and then cut off all the people who are butt hurt about it on the web. Problem solved.

Sort of reminds me of Covid, and the old "if we don't test, we have no Covid" comment.

I'm not sure I agree with China being our biggest enemy anymore, seems they reside right here, in America.........

You are unaware that discussion boards are social media, aren't you.

They said Donald Trump was crazy when he stated that. The problem is you need to replace it with something tick tock replace something else called Vines. As far as I can tell it was the same exact sort of thing why can't we do that in the US and not depend on China for our social media.

Brendan Carr is one of the idiots Trump appointed to the FCC commission. He DOES NOT speak for the other commissioners.

No it's not because "social media" layouts resemble a bulletin board with no threading.
DP runs exclusively on threads, so you would need to show how FB, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat, Truth Social and all the rest support threads.
If you can show how they effectively support threaded discussion, especially ones that run into the HUNDREDS of pages, I'll admit I am wrong and .... bonus ... I will get to LEARN something from you.

Furthermore, Facebook Groups operate differently from the rest of Facebook and yet still, once a discussion thread runs more than a page or so, the software gets crippled.
The way it's set up won't allow much more than that.

Agree or not.. He is an idiot with NO background in tech... The FCC does not have the power to ban tiktok

Regardless of whether he's an idiot or not. We should ban tick tock and you do have the ability to do that we do it for child pornography. And there's a fine line between that and tick tock.
 
Anybody on social media are morons.. Tik Tok, FB, Twitter, Truth media, or whatever.. You're putting your whole life out there for any hacker or degenerate to rip apart..

My advice for the day..

BTW I'm old.. But I worked with computers since the 80s... I know what the hell I'm talking about..
