I don’t care if you don’t mind having harm done to you, the entirety of the USA would suffer from continued data collection by the CCP. The entirety of the USA would suffer from more “pig butchering” scams, more industry hacks and subterfuge, more US Military installations being mapped out. That’s all ignoring their impact on politics.
So stop bothering us here and go screw around on RedNote if thats what you think.

They did write data privacy laws when they banned TikTok. Read HR 815 Division H and Division I of 118th Congress, which is just HR 7520 and 7521 bundled into a larger bill.
The original text of HR 7520 is:
(a) Prohibition.—It shall be unlawful for a data broker to sell, license, rent, trade, transfer, release, disclose, provide access to, or otherwise make available personally identifiable sensitive data of a United States individual to—
(1) any foreign adversary country; or
(2) any entity that is controlled by a foreign adversary.
(b) Enforcement by Federal Trade Commission.—
(1) UNFAIR OR DECEPTIVE ACTS OR PRACTICES.—A violation of this section shall be treated as a violation of a rule defining an unfair or a deceptive act or practice under section 18(a)(1)(B) of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 57a(a)(1)(B)).
(2) POWERS OF COMMISSION.—
(A) IN GENERAL.—The Commission shall enforce this section in the same manner, by the same means, and with the same jurisdiction, powers, and duties as though all applicable terms and provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.) were incorporated into and made a part of this section.
(B) PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES.—Any person who violates this section shall be subject to the penalties and entitled to the privileges and immunities provided in the Federal Trade Commission Act.
(3) AUTHORITY PRESERVED.—Nothing in this section may be construed to limit the authority of the Commission under any other provision of law.
Definition of Foreign Adversary:
“(4) FOREIGN ADVERSARY COUNTRY.—The term “foreign adversary country” means a country specified in section 4872(d)(2) of title 10, United States Code.”
Which states:
“(2) Covered nation .— The term “covered nation” means— (A) the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea; (B) the People’s Republic of China; © the Russian Federation; and (D) the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
But I think it also includes a few other countries, idk if this text is up to date.

Trump was not in office when the ceasefire was called, so you can thank Biden or no one in particular.

Wanting to undo progress made and empower old ideologies is the definition of the words politically conservative.
That’s Trump’s whole agenda.

I wonder if that literacy rate ratio change was the result of the mass exodus and death as poor people starved in the late 20s through 30s as a direct result of the 1920s USSR economic changes which failed to provide means of centralized agriculture management. I don’t actually know for certain, but maybe.
One thing I will give them is that they were allowed to work as far back as in the early revolution.
Right Wing is usually defined as conservative and regressive, which definitely applies to CCP and Russia erosion of democracy and rolling back of human rights, and also definitely aligns with the Maga low taxation, less government services, deconstruction of NATO, etc. Tankies supported Trump, btw, his face was being promoted all over Hexbear.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
No, it’s an argument that not everybody who claims to be left is actually progressive. Not everybody who promotes ownership of means of production by the people actually cares about human rights.
Tankies aren’t left.

Hexbear literally promoted Trump before the 2024 election. Tankies love Maga.

It is illegal to send US Citizens data there.

ByteDance publicly admitted they stored the user data in Beijing in 2023.
- Comment on POV: It's January 19th 1 week ago:
They did. They banned sending US Citizen data to adversarial nations including China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and/or Venezuela. It was all packaged into one vote and now that’s the law.
- Comment on POV: It's January 19th 1 week ago:
They will be if they send data to China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and/or Venezuela. Because that’s how the law which bans TikTok was written.
- Comment on POV: It's January 19th 1 week ago:
China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela

Now that right there is an idea within an idea, like a matryoshka brain.

The nuance here is that the user probably means cooling the earth’s atmosphere, not the earth as a whole enclosed system.
- Comment on Can enough solar pannels decrease the global temps? 1 week ago:
Yeah, on the earth surface 23% of the light gets absorbed by the atmosphere before it even hits the panel, and 85% of the remained doesn’t get absorbed by the panel at all.

@sighofannorance
@rayquetzalcoatl
Jokes aside, Solar Panels are something like ~15%% efficient, the rest of the light doesn’t get absorbed by the panels. Only ~48% of solar energy gets absorbed by the earth’s surface, ~23% gets absorbed by atmospheric particles, the rest just leaves. So the atmospheric temperatures wouldn’t change much.If you power Red-Yellow-Blue +ultraviolet LED grow lights for a “full spectrum” effect then you’re still using less power on the lights than the solar panels would absorb.
To reach GHG neutral emissions by 2035 would take adding AT LEAST something like 64 Terawatts of solar. So if a 1MW solar power plant takes up approximately 0.02 sq km (5 acres) then 1,280,000 sq km of solar would do it.
math note: (Somebody needs to check the math on this part because for some reason consumer panels are rated more like 183 watt / sq m which is 3.6 MW for the same size (note that 1 sq km is 1000000 sq m because of the rise in power), just astronomically different than the 1 MW from the big plant…)
Good news, then! We can put the whole damn thing in 1/9th of the Saharan Desert! Or if we trusted that weird consumer number then we can put the whole thing in Montana! That leaves 99.749% of the earth’s surface open to get hit by the sun’s bullshit as nature intended alongside the 78% of the 0.251% that didn’t get absorbed.
Of course, becoming carbon neutral doesn’t offset the methane gasses emitted by the arctic as a result of current levels of warming, and producing more than 67-70 TW of electricity is pointless because we aren’t actually using that much power currently. One potential thing we could try is storing excess power underground such as with molten salt, or storing it on the moon or even as an additional satellite where the material would naturally cool over time.

Without the state, use of force secures land claims, and corporations would be more than happy to release the hounds on the rest of us.
A democratic state is a collection of people, mostly workers, that forces the distribution of wealth and ideally equal rights in a court of law and protection of public lands.
