President Biden said Friday he would support a quickly moving bipartisan bill that could ban TikTok if Congress passes the legislation. “If they pass it, I’ll sign it,” Biden told reporters …
I am not surprised that this is happening. What I am surprised is how many people have no idea how fucked up this law is or its implications, and are therefore defending it because “lawl le crinj china app xdxdxdxdddd”
Bro. This law literally bans the usage of VPNs to access foreign sites and services. Even China won’t fuck with that, and they invented the concept of having a separate internet that abides by their censorship. VPNs are legal and common there. Also, like, this thing we are using? The Fediverse? Where half the servers are not in the US of A? Say goodbye to IT as well.
Y’all are cheering for the building of “The Great Firewall, but painted Red White and Blue” but don’t even realise it because you think an app where some kids do dumb dances is literally the devil.
Anyway, enjoy your self-made dystopia, I’ll be here in the third world laughing at your faces.
I would like to note that my shitehole of a third world home country has public healthcare.
It’s not excellent, far from it, it’s in fact very flawed: It’s underfunded, depending on the area you’ll be “queuing up” for your consultation for so long that you’ll either recover on your own or drop dead, and sometimes doctors have to push ghetto treatments because the real thing is too expensive, so if you have the option, you’d rather not.
… But it exists, it genuinely saves lives, and also – In existing it also drives down the price of private healthcare, meaning that middle-class folks (like me!) can afford it without being sent over the poverty line.
Crazy how that works. We’ve been Murica’s bitch for two centuries now, but life here still seems miles kilometers better than over there.

There are no first world countries without fully paid public healthcare.
So ironically, they’re also laughing from the 3rd world ;)
