Yes, the Israel issue made it personal for US congresspeople. But the original sponsors of the ban were Facebook. Israel probably won't get to have Hasbara people to command TikTok worldwide, but Facebook's aims can still be fulfilled. However toothless the ban is, users are very fickle. They'll move to competitors that are 1% more convenient than you. And having to have a VPN or download an APK or whatever, well, that may already kill the Apple market by itself.
And then there's the people who make money out of TikTok and create the whole social media ecosystem. Those won't get their payments through, they'll leave the platform and that will hurt the appeal of the app. And if people stream back to an American controlled platform, Israel gets what it wants anyways. Total suppression of their demonic deeds.
This bill's original sponsors are Facebook. And however slight the inconvenience is, users can be very fickle. Even if most users stay with the platform via VPNs it can still hurt the bottom line. This means a victory for Facebook no matter what.
As for Israel, Tiktok is hardly the only place the israelis behave like demons.
Presumably its not the entire chinese financial system, but 'some Chinese banks'. We shouldn't count on Washington's ability to reason, but I'm assuming they aren't sanctioning China's bigger banks.
Somehow I doubt they'll ban commodity imports from the Global South. Imagine what would happen to european chocolate without French Imperial cocoa.
its still beautiful (or sometimes terrifying) how its the players who make the game. yeah gygax was an old scoot from decades ago making a game. but his assumptions don't really register with a 20 yo from 2024.
appropriate all games and side with the colonized.
what do you expect from a hobby invented by white boys with literal 'race' mechanics that determine your objective 'alignment' in older editions and still play into racial caricatures to this day
to be fair, the entire party was siding with the palestinians like, constantly
Don't you dare lathe away our opportunity at the Kamala Empire.
