re: #173 danarchy
I don’t remember seeing the kind of backlash when they indicated that they were going to ban Kaspersky Antivirus because Russia.
I don’t recall that incident (clarification will be appreciated), but it doesn’t sound like it is quite the same as TikTok, which is:
1. Phenomenally popular.
2. Hugely widespread.
3. (most importantly) Monetizable (by users, not just its operators).
Just IMHO, I also think that the TikTok “ban” isn’t going to be a thing for quite a while yet: even given that year timeframe, I’m guessing that the divestment order is going to end up in one court or another, and linger there for (probably) years.
