Good riddance? Not really cause US still has clones of tiktok present like reels and shorts.
Nothing will change. Data will still be collected. China can easily buy data from the open market. Mental health will still be affected.
In fact, due to lack of competition, things will only get worse.
US and India are 2 moronic countries
I thought this meant the writer is forgoing Amazon as a service completely.
Cause that would be something worth reading. Not these first world problems ffs
just like Apple, limited models and limited parts. It will probably take till 2030 or something before it comes even close to being available “globally”.
The phones are designed to be be hard to repair. So it is obvious most people won’t be doing this themselves. Which was the dream.
It had today’s tiktok crowd. It was a huge hit. The only reason it failed is because of monetisation.
Only reason YouTube is popular. No competitor can match it in those terms.
Saying Vine was ahead of its time is like saying Digg or MySpace was ahead of its time. No it was at the precipice and just horribly failed to manage its growth and responding to competitors
That’s not so much a Linux problem as a Corporate greed problem.
Remember a big part in Windows mobile dying was its lack of Google support and not it itself lacking in any way
I can agree Linux is not intuitive.
I won’t agree Windows is intuitive. Its just not.
My argument? 2 settings panels for more than a decade now.
That’s it
The only thing Linux needs is proper hardware marketed well globally.
Linux needs to position itself to a market just like how ChromeOS did.
That is just not what linux is doing.
Convincing any one particular entity to do anything won’t mean luls for Linux market share, so much it will only make the lives of existing users more convenient
The question is why. You can’t stop kids from watching it. People get it one way or another. This does nothing than cause mild dips in viewership.
And frankly the kind of stuff on law abiding sites like PH is not doing any noticeable harm anyway. Raising awareness on sexual education if anything.
Most kids begin watching/experimenting around 14. Around 16 is when they should have sex ed and 18 is adulthood anyway. What’s the point?
Not comparable but we are back to the “video games cause violence” nonsense.
Sometimes kids just dont need government protection. This is one of those times.
If you as a content creator have a choice between a platform with 3 billion people (US and India included), like Shorts and Instagram Reels, and one without (TikTok), where would you post?
This is a clear disadvantage given to tiktok only to protect its own companies cause if US actually cared about data and mental health, homegrown Tech companies would also face repercussions.
LETS NOT FORGET, China can VERY EASILY buy most of the data it needs from the open market which many US companies, including Big Tech contribute to.
This has done nothing for citizens. Only protected innovation less US companies.
