I’m pretty close to a free speech absolutist. I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed so completely with TechDirt. This is not a TikTok ban. It’s a ByteDance ban. Corporations aren’t people. The government is fully within it’s rights to force a foreign state owned corp to sell or shutdown operations in the US.
Like you said this is another Corp vs Gov power play, and the public has largely been duped into supporting the Corpos again.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
