Not really seeing these rebuttals. The CA law does “target” a state—itself. It’s a self state law. And the equivalent of “you can just not sell pork in CA” is “you can just not provide TikTok in Montana”.

This actually isn’t legally clear as a violation of Interstate Commerce, and a fascinating case was just upheld by SCOTUS last week that might be a precedent for allowing this Montana law.

Possibly, but long before TikTok was ever used by youth to troll Republicans, it was already being banned from certain kinds of military and federal employee phones over China fears.

No, all the law does is “force” the official app stores to geofence the app out of Montana (which is easy for Apple and Google, actually). It doesn’t attempt to criminalize any individual who knows how to side-load the app.

Paul Walker the least compelling member? Cuh...

It was a vanity creation of Donald Trump that had all the depth of a 7 year old smashing green Army guys together.

There’s technically a space race right now but it ain’t public and aspirational. It’s a corporate race to monetize space in the Telecommunications, Entertainment, and Defense sectors.

You clearly forgot about the beautiful moment where we increased shareholder value for Q2.

There’s no possible way that is serious.. 3 batteries every 1/3rd of a day?

Another 100 metric tonnes of plastic crap that can fill a Chilean desert 7 years from now.

Toyota is all over US politics lmao

Oh god this a Part I? They’re really doing that

A star could disappear by being siphoned by a Type III civilization.

At least once every 2 years yeah, you’d have to do some kind of activity. Just bringing up its Gmail inbox counts.

No, viewing a video is not a login event for the host account. But the point is you don’t actually know what some stranger does with their 17 year old Google account. The account that posted rickroll could be logged into every single day on a New York Knicks fan blog for all we know.

The answer to your question is “maybe”.

I constantly get spam calls from a number that starts with the same area code and 3-digit exchange of my own phone number. But the thing is around here, I have a very rare (like nonexistent) exchange that was an old recycled number from Tracphone. So it stands out as immediately suspect.
