TikTok is spending €1.2 billion to dodge bans in Europe.

European politicians are nervous about where TikTok’s data goes. The company is spending big on local data centers, but analysts say it’s not enough.

“TikTok poses several unacceptable risks for European users, including data access by Chinese authorities, censorship, and the tracking of journalists".

I'm certainly no surprised... and sadly given the phallopolitics of I'd have expected this from both sides - it plays well to the centrist 'safe-hands' narrative for Starmer but is, as you say, very much unwelcome for the supporting tranche of the party's supporters.

Outrageous.

The U.S. Government Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars

The billionaire’s interference in Ukrainian military operations shows he’s a national security risk. No private citizen should have that much power.

Why would our ex-military go off to work for foreign governments?

All across America, specialized and highly trained employees have to sign non-compete agreements even after they leave companies.

Why aren't our military specialists held to the same standards?

Instead they are recruited by China and spend their time training the Chinese on our military operations.

OMG. People are doing poems.

And on aircraft carriers, of all places!

The mind shudders to think of all the deplorable implications.

Or, excuse me for my poor spelling: "The mind shutters to think." People doing poems! my godamighty!

Tech companies are “now required to tell a Chinese govt agency” when learning of a “hackable flaw in their products.” In “some cases,”this info gets shared w “China's state-sponsored hackers.” And “foreign firms w -based operations are complying w the law, indirectly giving Chinese authorities hints about potential new ways to hack their own customers.”
