I'm not saying we shouldn't worry about how China might be using TikTok to steal our data and manipulate us...

But why aren't we at least as worried about the U.S. billionaires who own the other apps stealing our data and trying to manipulate us?

@rbreich Funny how people don't like the idea of China "manipulating" the US. Yet Americans are only too happy to be manipulated by (and local billionaires of course). Perhaps if the US adopted some of China's principles in governance (such as governing for the people rather than for a wealthy elite), it may be just as successful economically,

Let's be clear. There is no place for antisemitic harassment or violence on campuses or anywhere else. None.

But protesting the slaughter in Gaza is not in itself antisemitic, and having armed police arrest peaceful student demonstrators is never acceptable.

@rbreich the pro groups and government are trying for years to make opposing politics similar to anti-semitism
