  • I found this: https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/has-tiktok-implemented-project-texas

    USDS will house TikTok teams that access U.S. user data, access TikTok’s software code and back-end systems, or moderate content on the platform. By design, it will replicate several of the core functions of TikTok’s global business. For instance, it will have a separate human resources team that will be responsible for hiring and managing U.S. personnel. Additional teams housed in USDS will include engineering, user and product operations, privacy operations, trust and safety, legal, threat detection and response, and security risk and compliance.

    Oracle Cloud will host the TikTok platform in the United States, including the algorithm and the content moderation functions. It will be responsible for monitoring data flowing into USDS and out of USDS to ensure that no data illicitly transits the USDS boundary. All U.S. data traffic will be routed through Oracle Cloud.

    This was from 2023 but has something changed since then to mean it won’t be hosted or run from the US? Is there a reason to think these claims are false or misleading?




  • The channels later returned to monetization when they started adding “fan trailer,” “parody” and “concept trailer” to their video titles. But those caveats disappeared In recent months, prompting concern in the fan-made trailer community.

    YouTube’s position is that the channels’ decision to revert to their previous behavior violated its spam and misleading-metadata policies. This resulted in their termination.

    It sounds like they only banned them for not having a disclaimer that it isn’t a real trailer, so unless that deters people from clicking on them, I assume others will do the same thing just making sure to disclose.


  • For many young people, social media platforms are not simply entertainment. They are places of learning, authorship, peer support, political awakening, and cultural participation. They are where teens practice argument, humor, creativity, solidarity, dissent — often more freely than in offline institutions that are tightly supervised, hierarchical, or unwelcoming.

    Very much this, age gates are a horrible idea and this is one of the reasons. My biggest problems as a teenager were isolation and lack of agency and the internet was a small reprieve from that I really needed.


  • This whole premise seems pretty scammy. The owner isn’t paying for the property with their own money, the bank is mostly not using their own money as it was newly created by the loan, but they both get to share in the value of what was bought with it, just because they are a bank and a rich person. But now since the factual and legal premises of the loan are turning out not to be true, they collude with each other to hopefully keep it anyway if circumstances change.

    This just isn’t a good system for deciding who gets to own buildings in important locations to begin with. Even if everything had worked out and rents were kept at market rate with active businesses operating out of the building for the full duration of the loan, that’s still a bad outcome because it means that the wealth disparity that is the core problem of our society has gotten that much worse, and the beneficiaries weren’t even really limited by their own capital.



  • can learn how to be rejected without getting violent, or even mildly annoyed, anyone can. The reason people don’t is because they don’t want to

    it’s because they’re pieces of shit and it reflects on their personality, and no one likes people who have a shitty personality

    Rejection makes people feel bad as a rule. That’s not an excuse for treating others badly, and there’s ways to learn to have a healthier mindset, but I think it’s worth mentioning that it’s ok for people to at least feel the way they do and that having the “wrong” emotions in response to things doesn’t make you a bad person. It just means you might have to work harder to make sure to treat others with decency.
