      Were socialists a persecuted ethnic minority?

      Already they are planning to hinder open hardware (RISK-V) as it could help China and will certainly attack foss software as well.

  It’s not even a ban, though. TikTok will just be owned by a US company instead of a Singaporean owned company. Literally nothing else will change, I hate to break it to you - cringe app will still be used by millions.
