Says a lot about what they don't pay attention to in their own country.

fortunately other countries have taken notice, though. look into the european union vs google.

Who isn't screaming in the US of A right now?

Older people are screaming because of Covid-19 being a very real threat to their livelihoods because of younger people believing it's not that bad.

Younger people are screaming because of police brutality nation-wide, and no real move to put something in place federal because of it.

Federal people are screaming because of election being a bloody shitshow, and their name and title could be on the line at any time, or massively lynched by the local community for not doing their job.

People with jobs are screaming because they are losing them at the fastest rate since the great depression, and need to keep food on the table and shelter available for their family.

People providing said food & shelter are screaming because global warming issues have reached an all-time high, and is ravaging farming land, and sprawling communities because people decide to have gender reveal parties.

I could continue this train forever. I pray that USA's next president is able to dig you guys out of this massive hole that took 4 years and a fair amount of ignorance to dig.

in one breath, we should take more of a solid stance against china in general, everyone should, but in another breath this doesn't seem like the best way to do it by far

turns out I'm a bit of a naive moron because the legislation behind the "tiktok ban" could potentially be akin to a patriot act v2 (imho the patriot act is one of the worst things the us has ever passed). vague and broad wording that generally targets services, not specific "threats," and could possibly apply to things such as vpns. it's a rushed piece of legislation curated by out of touch, tech-illiterate boomers. it has both bi-partisan support and bi-partisan criticism.
