ByteDance has up to a year to sell TikTok and avoid a ban.

Free speech in AmeriKKKa is looking good! Americans should only rely on true, red-blooded, patriotic, and megacorporations like Microsoft and Google with their data!

Another bill that was added on was an Israel aid bill that sends Israel and the IDF a further 26.3 billion dollars.

    Speaking of tiktok, it seems North Korean pop (North k-pop) is trending which is very interesting to me. So far most people are making jokes about it while also enjoying the music. It’s a bit weird and the comments are annoying but maybe this will become a way to combat misinformation on the DPRK. Who knows.

        I would argue film is up there as well. Look at how prevalent Soviet and Russian films are, along with K-Films and K-dramas. They’re usually peoples first interactions with another culture.
