He actually doesn't talk about EVs at all, this tariff is against cheep steel and aluminium that the CCP is subsidizing.

Actually, he's announced increasing the existing tariffs against Chinese Steel and Aluminium. He didn't even talk about EVs at all.

The implant failing when the subject's connected tissue died has always been the best possible outcome from this, tbh.

I can't tell which of the two of us you are referring to.

There are already exceptions to the First Amendment that did not require updating the US Constitution, such as the Supreme Court ruling in Brandenburg v. Ohio 1969 which excludes Incitement as protected speech, Incitement being the advocacy of or in any way leading to the breaking of US laws which *checks notes includes sending personal data to adversarial nations including China and therefor TikTok's operations are not protected.

It's not. Reports of you being a threat to national security seems to have a lot of bearing when lawmakers are banning you.

Why would the operation that this company was created to carry out no longer be happening, pray tell?

  1. Allowing yourself to be defamed is a PR Disaster. Suing the US Federal Government is a PR Disaster.
  2. They could have done it years ago when it hit headlines around the world, too.

Ah my apologies I thought you meant TikTok when you said "They’re trying to sell a product." It's a pretty common defence and misdirection on these sort of posts.

If you don't trust Internet 2.0 is telling the truth, then how exactly have they evaded defamation lawsuits? Telling lies that negatively impact ByteDance's operations would be grounds for a lawsuit in all 3 of these countries.
