When Mark Zuckerberg puts his goal to remove the USA from the world in writing, because it is in his way, then I'll worry about him as much as the Chinese Communist Party!
Read more before putting takes like this out into the world.
@rbreich What they’re basically saying is you can steal and manipulate data from US citizens if the company is US owned.
This bill doesn’t even remotely get to the root of the mega-social-media problem. #regulation#tictocban#x#meta#bluesky
@rbreich
Anybody remember the Kasperzy malware protection software? Obama made everybody in the Executive Department, including the DoD, take it off their machines because it was sending dumps to the KGB. One of the first things Trump did was tell everybody to put the Kasperzy spyware back on their machines. Hopefully Biden has ordered it removed again.
@rbreich I would rather the chinese communists have my data than the globe-spanning, endlessly warring US capitalist empire and its 1000s of forward military bases, globe spanning CIA/intelligence apparatus, and its forever increasing, bloated "defense" budgets that always seem to wind up used for offense.
Fuck this analysis. Its time to stop being a capitalist pig and put your feet back on the ground. We all share this earth, it does not belong to the US.
@rbreich Meta, Xitter, MSLinkedIn are just mad they're not the favorite data vacuum, so they're "competing" by making their government, which they bought and paid for, go after the foreign competition, in typical Surveillance capitalist style.
This isn't the media narrative though because, you know.. only 6 companies run the media for America.
And somehow we're not protesting in the streets about this.
@rbreich I see this take or something like it from a lot of infosec people. Like, yes, China is doing bad stuff. So are Meta & Google, & in the bargain they're posing a greater immediate security risk to individuals & to our society than TikTok.
