These congressional hearing formats are such a joke.

Nothing new comes out, no solutions come, and we make no progress. Just a chance for politicians to grandstand. It's reality TV, not a meeting that inspires or leads to change.

Congress asked TikTok's CEO if he'd be willing to divest from Chinese ownership.

His incredibly fair, savage answer?
"American social companies don't have a good track record with data privacy and user security. I mean, look at Facebook and Cambridge Analytica." pic.twitter.com/cVP9dph5wL
Instead of being personal lapdogs for Meta, congress and the Biden administration should enact strict data privacy laws prohibiting the collection and sale of this data in the first place. Then it won't matter who owns TikTok.

What the fuck is Project Texas?
I saw Project Texas trending and just assumed it was some plan to destroy women, people of color, gays and immigrants. That's the impression Texas has left on me

To avoid a ban, TikTok has been trying to sell officials on a $1.5-billion plan called Project Texas, which routes all U.S. user data to domestic servers owned and maintained by Oracle.
