Is there precedent for something like this? I’m clearly just a regular dummy but I can’t think of anything similar ever happening in this country. To me, it just seems like a bureaucratic way of strong arming a sale.

I assume the US government wants to force a sale to a US tech company, no? Who would presumably profit from said successful app. Why not just outright ban it here? By kill I just mean make unusable. But you knew that, silly.

Iran might not be invading Israel anytime soon but they sure arent “trending towards peace” like you claim. You’re wrong about this one, and your anger betrays you here. It might shock you to learn that even at your age, you can still learn something, too. At least I know I’m uninformed and look for the truth instead of just spouting off bullshit with nothing to back it up.

Iran literally just sent drones into Israel. You haven’t been paying attention.

If you don’t think Israel “that interesting or important” to the US government, you haven’t been paying attention. full stop. This isn’t about Palestine, its always been about Israel. They send way too much money to us politicians, including the one in the white house, for it to not matter “in the grand scheme”. AIPAC money alone should be enough to convince you.

Why not just kill the app then instead of asking for divestment? Why do they still need it?

The Tik Tok ban is about keeping big tech in the hands of the USA. Are my account stats better for you?

No this post actually is Hamas. Please tell Israel quickly

Capitalism works! It breeds innovation like this! good luck getting non consensual ai porn in your socialist government

Are you fn insane??!?! You can’t do that!! Someone get in here and do the Democrat shame routine on this man

The Boston tea party is taught to every single kid in this country, give me a break. We’re a country built on rioting burning and looting.

I got this yesterday, as well. There’s no way this could hold up legally, right? Like my 7 year old could easily just click through that, no way this is a legally binding contract to forfeit jury rights and right to sue.

…right?

Same, just cancelled today, as well. I don’t buy nearly enough stuff on Amazon anymore to justify the free shipping, the prime video app is fine enough, but if I have to pay more for HDR/surround, well the line has to be drawn somewhere.

The tech bros are convincing stupid people it is real money though. Just like they always have, whether it’s this or something else.

“oh no, there’s girls showing their bodies on my gaming app, they’re taking viewers away from my 7 person stream!!!”

Biden is hawkish on Israel because he remembers a version of Israel that doesn’t exist anymore. The stalwart of the Middle East is a shell of itself and it doesn’t want the rest of the world finding out. I know his age is a meme at this point but it’s worth pointing out here

Same here, 04 was my first election so I was still under the haze of my parents politics but I remember very similar language being used back then.

Literally had a campaign called VOTE OR DIE. lmao

What, you don’t like the scare tactics being pushed by Dems and all of his supporters? You don’t like being shamed or scared into voting for a candidate you don’t really agree with?

Dang I thought that worked well in 2016, just barely in 2020, should be great this time around, too!

It’s definitely weird to see comments almost filled with GLEE under articles like this.

At least with republicans you know they’re awful from the jump they don’t really try to hide their shit baggery. Dems try to play the good guy but are like wolves in sheep’s clothing
