There is concern that ByteDance may be giving the Chinese government access to data on US citizens. It’s worth noting that no proof of this actually happening has surfaced.

Mostly because of this. TikTok is the app collecting massive amounts of data on its users with dubious intent and questionable security that is currently being scapegoated, and discord is on the long list of popular apps that collect massive amounts of data their users with dubious intent and questionable security that we are not scapegoating.
That’s what the article is about: how that change has pushed politicians to be open about their flaws and having much more public lives, like celebrities. Meaning that voters vote for politicians who act like celebrities. The sentiment in other comments of “No. No we don’t.” ignores the reality of who has been winning elections for the last 30 years.
I’m gonna guess there’s a lot of down votes from people who just read the title…
The author points out the last 30 years of presidential candidates as their evidence, and paints a pretty nuanced picture of his politicians have dealt with changing voter trends. No one wants to vote for the candidate that doesn’t act like that can emphasize empathize (glide typing failed me) with them, even though that’s not really the president’s job.
Don’t ruin your own experience because someone else is enjoying it differently than you like to

This isn’t a new program and if you live in California and are not a migrant, you could have applied since the program started in 2016. This just adds the stipulation that migrant status should not disqualify an applicant.
That’s helpful information, they both look like they’ve got good pedigrees. I’m a bit surprised that none of the normal fact and bias checker sites have anything for Drop Site.
I don’t quite understand the down votes here: Israel is a topic with lots of strong opinions, and basic good media literacy is to do research on sources you don’t recognize. There’s been a lot of shoddy journalism to get clicks out there, and one should be critical of the information they ingest. The Ground News bot is a good thing.
I’m having trouble finding any kind of credibility grading for this source
If those ~25 Lemmy users could read they’d be very upset
You know some dipshit in upper management saw the report that she hadn’t badged in for two workdays (the article says her last badge in was on a Friday), and was going to discipline her before checking on her work, or checking on her.
Pretty sure you just attacked someone for agreeing with you.
The comparison to COVID is interesting. If people can smell the smoke, they’re literally breathing in the air that the smoker is breathing out, and one can definitely smell smoke from the next table over. Maybe that’s part of why lockdown didn’t work as well as we hoped.
Also, if you can smell it, it’s doing harm. Second and third hand smoke on your clothing is still real in outdoor spaces, and people should have the freedom to avoid that harm.
Sorry, I was referring to your comment, I’m not sure what you read
That’s incredibly subjective, and not true for many. A lot of people can tell if you’ve been smoking outside
Over 463,000 voters on the suspense list
So, about half a million valid voters
Does that mean this new bot is ignoring sites’ robots.txt files? The Internet works because of web crawlers, and I’m not sure how this one is different
Edited to add: Apparently one would need to add Meta-ExternalAgent to their robots file unless they had a wildcard rule, so this isn’t as widely blocked by virtue of being new. Letting it run for a few months before letting anyone know it exists is kinda shady.
Excuse me if I don’t trust the infallibility of the foreign policy platform of a person who falls back to ad hominem attacks after reading 3 sentences, and failing to grasp their meaning
Oh dang u right, it ain’t nuanced, my b
Employees of ByteDance might be Chinese, but they don’t work for the government. They work for ByteDance. I haven’t found anyone claiming to have proof that data in US citizens has left the company. Just fears that it could.
