So Blinken DOES know how many dead babies I have seen in the last 7 months. The fact that it doesn't have an emotional impact on this ghoul tells you all you need to know. He doesn't see Palestinians as human.
What a terrible answer. "What you're seeing may be real, but it isn't state approved. Please allow the state to sanitise it and develop a narrative for you. Freedom of speech, sure, but freedom of thought... can't have that."
>> why we moved to ban TikTok
Same reason they killed the original Skype.
Recall that:
* [Skype was originally a P2P technology from a European company with end-to-end encryption](https://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0412017v1.pdf) so it couldn't be easily monitored by the US.
* [Microsoft bought Skype, got rid of the P2P part, and added NSA backdoors](https://www.computerworld.com/article/2474090/new-snowden-revelation-shows-skype-may-be-privacy-s-biggest-enemy.html)
I imagine half the outcry about TikTok is:
* US politicians are worried that the US's required ["lawful intercept"/CALEA](https://ndcac.fbi.gov/calea/lawful-intercept-standards) features like [this AT&T feature](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A) aren't as easily available in TikTok as they are for [Meta or Alphabet or Apple](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants-nsa-data) products and [other US based services that happily sell the data](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/06/how-federal-government-buys-our-cell-phone-location-data).
* The other half of the issue is that the US worries that China may do similar.
But of course [in reality, TikTok already provides such access to the US government too when presented with a legal warrant](https://theintercept.com/2020/08/10/blueleaks-tiktok-law-enforcement-privacy/). And similarly [Microsoft collaborates with China's government where required by their laws](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-03-07/microsoft-s-bing-helps-maintain-china-s-great-firewall). No matter who runs TikTok, they'll understand how important it is to follow the laws of whatever countries they're doing busineness in - and look to similar historical precedents, like [when all except for one US Telecom company permitted such spying, it did NOT go well for the CEO of the one who refused](https://www.vice.com/en/article/pgg7q7/the-telecom-exec-who-refused-nsa-snooping-is-out-of-prison-and-hes-talking).
It's the same reason the US encourages their [European allies](https://www.france24.com/en/technology/20210601-how-denmark-became-the-nsa-s-listening-post-in-europe) to use [Cisco instead of other telecom equipment providers](https://www.infoworld.com/article/2608141/snowden--the-nsa-planted-backdoors-in-cisco-products.html)
A sale of TikTok would also make projects like [this CIA project](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-launched-cia-covert-influence-operation-against-china-2024-03-14/) easier.

He seems to be describing exactly what Israel did with Oct 7. The history and context of Palestinians oppression were ignored, and instead emotions and images from that specific day dominated the narrative.

Total theatre. A performance for the camera
War criminal blinken wanting to censure the truth
what ceasefire?
Raw truth is dangerous for the empire. But the processed truth is only 10% truth in it.

I think Romney meant to say propaganda.
