Concerned about TikTok accessing and selling personal information, and using it to manipulate you?

Wait until you hear about credit rating companies, HR companies, real estate verification companies, online mental health companies, direct to consumer DNA companies, the trackers on just about every news web site, and FB, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Snap, and Pinterest.

If as a #libertarian you like to explain to people that you're "not on the left or the right," but then you harp relentlessly about the excesses of #wokeism while shrugging and remaining largely silent about DeSantis's culture war or attacks on drag shows, consider that you are in fact not nonpartisan at all, but in fact very much on the conservative right.

Good afternoon everybody and welcome to Sunday. John and I are just waiting on some groceries which include lunch and reading a book. I almost typed “listening to a book” but I caught myself in time to continue my policy of refusing to make a distinction between reading in the typical way and reading in alternative ways like listening.

Hey we have @yoyoel with a new guest post on Techdirt about one of the possible consequences of walling off a US-only TikTok: it might actually be *worse* for national security, not better.

This is what happens when the people making the rules don’t understand tradeoffs.
