Was also confused, yes, apparently those are just crackers:

Just the wrapper makes it look unappetizing, I thought it was lard or something equally disgusting.

Not all of them, but yeah you’re right.

You can add “cancel” after “x”, like this:

The results of these actions will affect us far more than those immigrants.

It actually looks like ByteDance is blocking them to generate uproar. The law only required to remove the app from app store

You won’t find me supporting Twitter or Meta, and I won’t deny that their owners do seem to be influenced by foreign governments (directly or indirectly), but TikTok is clearly information Domain Warfare and it would be hell of a stupid to continue allowing it if they are still controlled by Chinese government. This is why that sale is for.

If TikTok wasn’t a weapon, wouldn’t it make more sense to sell it and get something than not selling it and have nothing?

The current behavior only makes sense if the real value was being China’s propaganda piece. A normal business would just go after money.

Both sides can be bad, with TikTok the problem is that it is controlled by an adversary, a nation that doesn’t have good relationship with the US and wants it to collapse.

Frankly if I had power I would go after Twitter and Meta as well.

This is crystal clear now, but it was less clear before.

I started saying that social media finally figured out how to monetize the platform and it’s customers aren’t people, aren’t even companies, the customers are now billionaires and foreign governments.

Twitter also looked great until it didn’t, it even comes from the same guy.

While at this moment BlueSky looks good, we will end up the same way sooner or later. Muskov et. al. figured out how to monetize social media. Now Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and others are tools to manufacture opinion. And certain opinions are worth a lot to certain people.

No, at least not during this period. If it was invented right now, or is guaranteed to be only controlled by oligarchs and ruin life of everyone else.
