It’s the older people being duped. My in laws are in their 70s and don’t do much but sit around and watch CNN all day. They believe all the hoaxes…the “fine people” hoax, the “drink bleach” hoax, the “bloodbath” hoax, etc. There is no saving these people.Interesting chart.

The younger people are much more likely to get their from X and various podcasts and are therefore, much better informed.
ROTFLMAO! I know it was unintentional, but that’s the most hilarious thing you’ve ever written. There is absolutely no bigger dupe around than you. Your tiny mind I stuffed with disinformation and lies from the Twitter Twits you follow. You have zero self awareness. 😄
OMG, I’m busting a gut! I just read it again! That’s really funny stuff there! LOL!
Believe me...I've been young. Thought I knew everything. Now that I'm old, and actually do, the ignorance of youth is more apparent in the world than ever.
Heh. My son will prance out the door in crocs and no socks and then give me grief for saying something.
He says I’ve got my coat on. What do you want?
SMDH.
There is some truth to this but I don’t know that you can attribute it to Tik-Tok.
Yes you will be much better informed if you listen to Megyn Kelly and Ben Shapiro and read Twitter than if you read WSJ/ NYT and watch cable news. But those are long form podcasts. Not Tik-Toks.
Obviously Twitter isn’t long form, the benefit of Twitter is to be able to quickly access counter- narratives and opposing viewpoints. Something legacy media sorely lacks.
I'm not a legal expert, but he supposedly can temporarily allow for access to be restored while they find a buyer. That's his intention, not to keep it up and running, assuming you believe what he says. There have been some offers coming in over the weekend that might make sense.
Is the law that stupid? It won a unanimous decision by SCOTUS.
TLDR Bulk:
I get my news in the paper three days after the kids via X and Tik Tok
You're full of shit.
I get all my news right here on the WC.
Most are not thinking and assume everything is alright. Perhaps Eric Swalwell is there looking for his next Chinese girlfriend. Hopefully the next one won't be a spy like his last one.
To me, it is a time/place/manner limit on free speech. I agree the government has the power to limit those. But for me, they need a real compelling reason. I have not heard a credible threat presented by teens sharing crappy videos. It is incumbent on the government to present a threat beyond, "well, it is China."
It has been banned on government computers and devices for almost two years. We banned it on our organization’s devices almost two years ago too. The risk to data is real.
I have zero problems with banning it from government systems, or corps banning it from their devices. That is not a free speech issue.
Telling a private citizen they cannot use it on their personal device requires more than "it is an abstract threat." How does Mc's daughter using it present a threat?
At least your kids wear coats. I bring them with just in case something happens to the car and I don't have to give up mine.
China spreading misinformation or collecting information used for recruiting future spies?
Misinformation is spread everywhere, here even. They *could* collect info but they can do that everywhere. We need more than a theoretical.
I will mention a real security threat. There are maybe 200 million Win 10 boxes in the world, in October Microsoft stops updating them. They become vulnerable. China, or anyone, can infect them and turn them into a bot army conducting denial of service attacks, or brute force password attacks.
So, can we make using Windows 10 illegal? Can we order ISPs to kick them offline?
As much as I am certain it is a threat, I still find it too theoretical to throw everyone offline.
As I understand it under the law. The president can allow for ONE (and only one) 90 day extension, under the premise that a sale is in process, but needs more time to close. That's pretty dubious since Bytedance has never offered to sell whatsoever. Not that Trump gives a flying shit about following any law.
Remember when MSFT said that Windows 10 would be the last Windows you would ever buy, that it was going to be a true rolling release with continuous updating in perpetuity?
Those were the days.
Spencer Pratt and Heidi montag lost their Calif home in the fire. No insurance. They turned to TikTok to try to raise money. And it’s working!!! Then bam. Turning TikTok back on has profound consequences and hopefully Hollywood will remember.

Uggs are the best. I’ve been wearing mine for almost twenty years. I got red and white red adidas for Christmas. Count on me to know the trends. And we don’t care if Uggs are ugly . They are the most comfortable ever. Go from Ugg boots to Ugg slippers.
I ordered three things from the tik TOK shop this week just to be prepared for shutdown. they have some junk and some cool stuff. Hit or miss. But it’s way too easy. Scrolling at night, push a button and it’s here in a few days. Addictive
Your history. Your experience. Your finger on the pulse of LA and NY fashion. Modern culture. I’d expect nothing less from you zeke.
My crew and I went to a concert fri night. My daughter’s teacher is a close friend from high school. (Gave her a C- wtf). She showed up at the concert in a pair of adidas campus’s. 🤣. I told her you’ve been around these damn kids too much!
I’m sure it depends on your algorithm but stuff just pops up , anything from clothing to cool little gadgets. Last week I ordered a fake Birkin, a tote, and slushy cups where you put in a drink and squeeze it for the little ones. If you are looking for something specifi you can put it in search but I always just wait until I see random stuff I like. The stuff I get is never expensive so if it doesn’t work out it’s no big deal.
Her mom and I make her turn in her phone every school night at bed time. But that’s only so we know she sleeps. She’s so far ahead of us we have no idea what she’s on, looking at, using etc.
Well, they discovered something called "profit". Selling something one time isn't profitable.
Where you there today? We played well overall. We just lack a player that can create on their own
That's not what they claimed. There wasn't supposed to be a Windows 11. They literally said that Windows 10 would be the last Windows you would ever buy, that it would be updated and upgraded incrementally and continuously.
I watched. I thought we really played well against their size with great D and position rebounding. A break here and a bucket there and they could have pulled it out.
