I think a lot of people don’t understand how big Tik Tok is. They’re the world’s most used website and app.
While Facebook has more users, TikTok is (very likely) the biggest app in terms of total time spent on it.

To be slightly blunter than The Atlantic allowed me to be: the tiktok ban is a protectionist subsidy to Meta and Google worth hundreds of billions of dollars: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Still astounded how people think that the government force-closing a social network that's literally used by 170 million people in the US is just fine or even good.
It would not surprise me if they go after VPNs next.

To me the cool thing about this image is that the sprinkling of blue stars are in the foreground, some 5 million light years away, while all those gorgeous colorful swirly galaxies are almost unimaginably more distant, out in the far depths of the cosmos. More info: www.stsci.edu/contents/med...
Oh come ON now. This new JWST image is just ASTOUNDING.
I feel like I’m falling looking into it, and that I would fall forever, and that I would enjoy it.

RIP TikTok. The ultimate example of the olds not getting it.
It is especially ironic that we're freaking out about a foreign owned social network when we're letting untrustworthy figures straight through the door over here
