This was always about running defense for the likes of Israel and it’s ongoing televised genocide….

This isn’t about national security, if it had been this would’ve never gotten as far as it has been, the door would’ve been closed long ago.

TikTok and its algorithm isn’t beholden to the US’s government mandate like the other social media platforms. It also just happens to be the one with the largest amount of users and engagement, compared to the others..

Anyone who’s been paying attention to the numerous times TikTok has been on the chopping block (nearly every year it’s existed) understand what’s at play here.

In security, industry standard seems to be about the same as military grade: the cheapest possible option that still checks all the boxes for SOC.

Basically, whatever the liability insurance wants for you to be in compliance, than that’s the standard.

HN is fast becoming reddit with comments like these, sadly.

Just to be clear, are you insinuating that my comment is somehow misleading or untrue?

Gotta love neocons and liberals voting this down as if you’re making up facts…when it’s objectively the truth

They are a hostile dictatorship, with zero resources but their oppressed people. Why would USA be interested in allying with them?

What difference does its government make when you purposely employ collective punishment via embargo?

For a country that prides itself as “democracy driven and human rights protector” it sure seems just as hostile as the supposed acting government.

Sure, but a lot of people seem to think Cuba is cut off from world trade. They're only cut off from one country.

Someone called it a "blockade" on this page.

The US embargo includes NATO members. I don’t have the source handy at the moment but it’s clear that any current trade partners with the US would be violating the embargo if they attempt read with Cuba.

But they did it to protect the planet. We need to enforce "democracy" and spread capitalism.

and agent orange, and destroy literally everything before we tail it back to our own country, not before we tell our vets to “suck it up” and bootstrap their PTSD due to exposure of aforementioned war crimes.

The profit motive has proved, over and over, to be a more effective motivator than anything else, including getting whipped and/or shot for failure.

I remember an earthquake in LA caused a freeway interchange to collapse. The government offered an incentive of something like a million bucks for every day the rebuild was completed ahead of schedule. The contractor got it done in a stupendously short time.

The USSR and it's space program would argue differently.

My point is that hot coffee is still being sold everywhere, even though we know for a fact that it's dangerous for our most vulnerable individuals. Mentally unstable people will sometimes spill coffee and when the coffee is hot it causes burns. If we really wanted to make coffee safe for our most vulnerable individuals, we would outlaw hot coffee, and just have medium-heated coffee instead. So the existence of "warning labels on hot coffee" is really evidence for my point, not evidence for your point.

then you would agree that warning labels are the lowest common denominator solution to a well known fact, vis-a-vis all processes, products, & procedures are aimed at the lowest factor.

If every product or process was truly aimed at the lowest common denominator, then we wouldn't have warning labels on hot coffee, we would instead have medium-heated coffee.

The label doesn't confirm if the coffee is hot, it warns that it might be.
