I'm more concerned about privacy from a US Corp, but not the controlling information element. US companies have at least some stake, however small that may be, in there being a US...

I don't disagree about anything you said. TikTok is just an easier target and a more obvious threat because of its connections to China.

since it's just regulatory capture for Facebook

Yes and no. Ultimately it will be that, but that's not the reason. The reason isn't the bullshit privacy concerns either. It's the amount of influence the Chinese government can exert by tweaking the algorithm. TikTok already proved congress' point when they had all those people call their congress person to protest the ban. Congressional offices got flooded with calls from people who had no idea what was going on, and many of which were too young to be voters. Having an adversary control the information of such a large portion of the population is a dangerous thing.

Except not. It was the working class that voted against her. It's because they wanted more and Kamala campaigned on being more of the same while Trump campaigned on breaking everything.

Because there wasn't any logic. It only pointed out the flawed logic in the comment it was replying to. You're acting like this is a gotcha when there is nothing there... It's such a nonsensical thing to think that pointing out bad logic somehow means I support some other tangentially related thing.

There is hope for the democratic party after all.

Because it's their publication and that's how they decided to do it? I don't know, I'm not the one calling the shots at Time magazine. I think you can make strong justifications for either way of doing it. It's probably harder to do it the way you're suggesting because no one has a crystal ball and you can't know that someone won't become a terrible person or that they're hiding some terrible thing.

I didn't state any sort of logic... You are reading something I damn well never said.

The Republican party didn't initially want Trump. I don't think your logic holds up.

It's their job to report what people are thinking and saying. That doesn't mean they endorse the opinion. Clearly, you also don't understand what an opinion section is.

It's crazy how many people mistake opinion pieces for articles. This isn't the NYT's opinion. It's just that one person's opinion.

The opinion section of any paper is a disaster not worth your time.
