TikTok Ban Update
VIDEO: watch me get mad about Congress laughing in our face about "conspiring" to pass the TikTok ban
Hey all. Above is a recent interview of me by tech journalist
who runs the newsletter . President Trump’s lift on the ban was only a temporary one, set to end on April 5, so the battle over what social media Americans are allowed to consume is just getting started.The U.S. government seems to be applying the TikTok ban playbook to ChatGPT’s more affordable Chinese competitor, DeepSeek, which I plan to report more on later. Absent any pushback, we could be looking at a future in which Americans are just not allowed to use Chinese software anymore. If it seems like I get worked up during the interview, it’s because I think that’s batshit insane and, ironically, exactly the kind of censorship China practices against its citizens. If we don’t stamp this nonsense out now, believe me, the federal government isn’t going to stop at just TikTok and DeepSeek.
On that cheerful note, have a nice weekend!
We use the Chinese version of Windows Office, WPS, that is affordable and works as well as the ridiculously overpriced Bill Gates software. I hope our worthless politicians don't ban that too.The Tech Bros are creating overpriced crapware.
The Trump regime and the Xi regime are both denying the people access to software. It’s all about control.
