Next do Facebook using Russia to interfere - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 13, 13:37 20
- With Facebook we know. With TikTok it's maybe, they might, possibly, kind of risky, sorta-kinda. And Twitter? Well, that's Elon Musk's playpen. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 13:40 17
  - Plus American company owned on the public market vs a private foreign-owned entity tied to a hostile government. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 13:43 16
    - You say hostile government like China is the same as N. Korea, Iran, or Russia. It's definitely not the same. They need us as much as we need them. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 13:47 15
      - China would slit our throats tomorrow if they felt it was a win. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 13:58 13
        
        Harvest our data? The same data we shed freely no matter what app, website, or literally anything connected to the internet, we use? Come on. - Qale Mar 13, 14:07
        
        I disagree. Russia has nukes, they would love to see America fall. They hate our way of life. They will continue to attack us as well. I say get rid - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 13, 14:06 11
        
        The only thing Russia has is nukes. They can't militarily compete with us. They are *not* China. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 14:13 10
        
        You think there could be an American invasion of China in the future that wouldn’t devolve into a nuclear exchange? - Loyola Mar 13, 14:23 4
        
        They could very easily know that Johnny from Little Rock is a defense contractor who uses several variants of “D0Nu+s” as a password so they easily - Will Hunting Mar 13, 14:51 3
        
        Sure anyone could hack anyone. Welcome to the internet age. - Loyola Mar 13, 15:01 2
        
        I dunno -- I'd like to think that we're actually trying to stop nation-states from learning our information becuase people are stupid. -- (edited) - Will Hunting Mar 13, 15:08 1
        
        The point is you can go down rabbit holes and imagine the worst about any new technology. Ban the internet because paedos might use it. Ban email - Loyola Mar 13, 15:23
        
        the means to the collect the precious data is exactly the same. It is being harvested. My point is they are all bad actors. Take steps to stop them - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 13, 14:19
        
        Nukes and hackers. It's the hackers that are the bigger threat. - David Mar 13, 14:18 3
        
        Which countries' hackers have caused the most disruption? -- nm - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 13, 14:22 2
        
        It's honestly hard to say because the best ones keep it quiet. -- nm - David Mar 13, 14:23 1
        
        fair point - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 13, 14:26
      - and we are still doing business with them, still selling the property in the US, still exporting/importing. Big Bad Wolf - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 13, 13:55
- Slackertalk used fishsticks to interfere in the Highliner elections! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 13:40 1
  - we sure did! -- nm - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 13, 13:41
Biden's Valentine's Day TikTok runs smack into Gen Z support for Palestine. -- (link) - Qale Mar 13, 13:32 2
- Yo kids, Imma gonna ban TikTok yo! Like and share! -- nm - Biden TikTok account Mar 13, 13:40 1
  - I love that the Biden TikTok account S.I. would use the YouTube phrasing. Heh. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 13:41
