They gambled that the additional ad revenue they'd be able to bring in with a sanitized web site would be greater than the revenue lost from some of their userbase leaving the site. It was a bad gamble.

The US Supreme Court ruled that laws don't apply to the President. All these articles talking about Trump breaking the law are falling victim to normalcy bias, a normal that died July 1, 2024. A referee isn't going to descend from the heavens to put Trump in the penalty box. If you don't like what's happening you won't be able to appeal to law to help you. Think of something else.

You thought wrong.

Foreign home ownership makes up a relatively small part of our housing market. Focus on it is mostly a misdirection from the real causes of our cost-of-living problem which is home grown housing speculation and lack of investment in social housing. And even were foreign home ownership occurring at a problematic rate, that's nothing in comparison to annexation of a country.

As far as I'm aware China hasn't been making any noise about annexing my country, so I guess I do see a difference.

The US is banning TikTok due to fears of interference by the Chinese government. How does this same reasoning not apply to Twitter for every country outside of the US? The US's long history of not interfering in foreign states' politics? (ha)
