Quick followup--this article says the ban will “not directly prohibit the continued use of TikTok” but rather remove it from app stores and possibly ISPs (the article mentions "hosting platforms" but that may be a misnomer) www.cnn.com/2024/12/14/b...

The only sort of relevant precedents I can find are government seizures of sites that break existing laws, e.g. by hosting copyright infringement and obscenity involving children. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interne...

Two, the article mentions one enforcement mechanism--penalizing Apple and Google for not removing it from its mobile app stores. But it says nothing about web access. Maybe the gov't would enforce similar penalties against ISPs for failing to block the site?

One, are there any other sites currently subject to such a ban in the US? A quick Google search turned up nothing. Are there any relevant precedents?

So my question is: what's going on here? I didn't see Trump speaking directly to or about Black people much during the campaign, but obviously there's a lot I don't see. What facts do you know that bear on these outcomes?

In comparison, 6% of Black women voted for Trump in 2020, while 10% voted for him in 2024. That's a near doubling, but still far below his level of Black male support.

A deeper dive shows this dynamic is clearly driven by gender: in 2020, 12% of Black men supported Trump. That number more than doubled to 25% in 2024.

This is a major shift from elections past. In 2016, 89% of Black ppl voted Clinton compared to 91% Biden in 2020. In 2012 and 2008, they went 93% and 95% respectively for Obama.

The AP's breakdown has lots of fascinating data, but I was shocked to see that Trump doubled his percentage of the Black vote between 2020 and 2024, from 8% to 16%. apnews.com/article/elec...

I'll see if I can't get a preprint out before publication!

I'm actually working on a piece now. It'll be out in a year! (I wish I was joking. 😩)
