Yes but diversity is good 👍
Why let the Chinese get all the eyeballs for propaganda? Surely we should give other nations a chance?

Says the guy that won’t allow Meta Quest developers the same level of access to their own hardware. Example: How would someone develop a 3rd party controller for the Quest VR headsets? You can’t. They haven’t exposed that API (or the cameras fully!).
They don’t even let you set the clock on your Quest headset! Need to change timezones? Factory Reset

Yes! Finally the world can maybe move on from PHP!
Reminder: TikTok is not actually important. Everyone can live their lives without TikTok, YouTube, etc. There’s an infinite amount of ways to entertain ourselves and there’s a lot of competing apps.
This isn’t the government abusing its power to shut down some small business/upstart. It’s shutting down a serious national security threat and a monopoly. TikTok has abused their position many times in many ways, refused to cooperate, and has reached the, “find out” phase.
