ByteDance has up to a year to sell TikTok and avoid a ban.

        No, Facebook and Twitter are still useful for the status quo.

      Oh please. The anti-TikTok hysteria has been going on much longer than the Israeli invasion of Gaza, and the narrative has largely been about national security concerns, particularly as they relate to election misinformation.

      Agree or not with the anti-China rhetoric about TikTok, but at least argue about the facts and not inane conspiracy theories.
