That’s fine if you want to believe that, but that’s not what the article is about that you posted. The article states that the president will be able to ban ANY non-us application by executive order which is inaccurate.
Has anybody actually read the bill?
The whole bill is about giving the government power to ban “foreign adversary controlled applications” and there’s nothing about the president being able to ban whatever app they want.
The bill defines a foreign adversary as: “a country specified in section 4872(d)(2) of title 10, United States Code”:
The People’s Republic of China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (China);
Republic of Cuba (Cuba);
Islamic Republic of Iran (Iran);
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea);
Russian Federation (Russia); and
Venezuelan politician Nicolás Maduro (Maduro Regime).
So unless you are on the side of the enemies of the US and want social media apps controlled by them, I don’t know why you wouldn’t support this bill.
Edit: I think the misunderstanding/misinformation comes from a few places, but ultimately I think it boils down to the fact the bill requires the app/platform to be a foreign adversary AND it requires a presidential executive order before the app will be banned.
Yea, no. That sounds terrible.
I know it doesn’t really answer your question, but that UI is so confusing. What does “13°F Today 29°F/16°F” mean? We can assume that it means it’s 13°F right now, and today was predicted to be a high of 29° and a low of 16°, but there isn’t really enough information to know for sure without additional context. The 29°F/16°F could be the predicted highs for the morning/evening instead. 13°F could also be the predicted temperature for today and 29°F/16°F could be tomorrow’s predicted temperature. There’s just not enough info to know what the numbers are saying.
YouTube has human employees? I thought they were just all bots.
I’ve also successfully used this trick several times
That’s a lot of assumptions to not even answer OPs question.
