[04:38:58] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> facepalm
[04:39:43] <Collei>	 They just won't quit with the EARN IT garbage.
[04:39:49] <Collei>	 This is the *3rd* time.
[04:40:57] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> I remember I've heard it before lol
[04:41:18] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> "tiktok ban" didn't pass or it's still in process tho?
[04:41:53] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> what I've heard they're trying to easily outlaw platforms + VPNs just like Russia does now
[04:42:18] <Collei>	 The "TikTok ban" is still in congress and is much broader than a ban on specifically TikTok.
[04:42:30] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> yeah what I said
[04:42:34] <Collei>	 Oh, I see.
[04:42:42] <Collei>	 It hasn't passed, but it hasn't been blocked.
[04:42:51] <Collei>	 It's a real risk, Biden says he'll sign it if he can and stuff.
[04:43:01] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> fuck man
[04:43:22] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> old men not trying control the Internet challenge: impossible
[04:43:45] <Collei>	 I remember CNN criticizing Trump for wanting to ban TikTok. Now they're all supportive of Biden's TikTok ban. This is a very common theme.
[04:43:53] <Collei>	 One state passed a TikTok ban that will go into effect on 2024, but only targets app stores, not ISPS, VPNs, etc.
[04:44:20] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> installer download?
[04:44:20] <Collei>	 I have been saving copies of TikTok APKs on my computer just in case it gets banned. I've never used the app before, but it seems that a lot of people like it.
[04:44:37] <Collei>	 ?
[04:44:42] <Collei>	 Oh, by ISPS, I mean ISPs.
[04:44:56] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> I meant apks basically yeah lol
[04:45:03] <Collei>	 Oh, I see.
[04:45:06] <Collei>	 Yea
[04:45:07] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> doesn't mean they gonna filter traffic
[04:46:13] <Collei>	 I don't remember if there's anything on filtering traffic or not.
[04:46:33] <Collei>	 Oh, I remember the Genshin Impact community having some discussions about this. miHoYo is a Chinese company after all.
[04:47:22] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> [1/2] tt seems to be way too addictive and a lot of stuff over there is garbage, but that goes to every big platform at this point
[04:47:23] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> [2/2] however recent goth song trend over there made my wiki more prominent in google lmao
[04:47:44] <MirahezeRelay>	 <AlienMoth#2844> [1/3] Hey I’m on Archives of our own, but someone made me remove some stories. Someone with a vendetta. Might just leave Ao3 so Deleted all in case.
[04:47:45] <MirahezeRelay>	 <AlienMoth#2844> [2/3] The irony isn’t lost on me about this. What are they going to do block my account with no stories? Maybe.
[04:47:45] <MirahezeRelay>	 <AlienMoth#2844> [3/3] Been dealing with cyber bullying for a while so this might be apart of it. I’m not sure it’s because I’m different or something and I like AEG Diesel too?
[04:48:10] <Collei>	 How did they make you remove them?
[04:49:15] <Collei>	 @Legroom#2748 Ik it's addictive and privacy-invasive, but whether it's a good thing or not, a lot of speech and expression happens on TikTok. A better solution to this is regulation and data privacy protection, not just de-platforming millions of people.
[05:06:41] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Legroom#2748> exactly
