What has the length of my account got to do with me knowing every slang in the Universe? Do you know what LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP stands for? I hope not and I sincerely hope you use your brain for storing useful things that are relevant and not use it to store useless slangs. But that is my just my advise. Take it or leave it. Choice is yours. And if you can't, at least do not expect everyone in the World to know the slangs you do.
> It's about the president blanket banning two apps with no warning and no real justification.
Warnings were issued for over the past 2 months now. Even Mike Pompeo spoke of the issue of banning TikTok in a conference (Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aloiS-68D7Q and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaqCBHtOvgs) 1 month ago. You must be sleeping. That is not the President's problem if you are not up to date with current affairs.
> They're "in trouble" after the country they're based in started ordering their companies to stop supplying critical parts/software to whichever random Chinese company the president feels threatened by at the moment.
China has literally kicked US companies out through various policies and nefarious activities. Did you forget how the Chinese Government hacked into Google China in 2010? The attack targeted Adobe, Akamai, Juniper Networks, RackSpace, Yahoo, Northrop Grumman, Morgan Stanley, Dow Chemical and Blackberry. Yahoo's and Google's IP got stolen too. Read up on Operation Aurora. This was at a time when Trump wasn't even in office. In fact, I would argue that US is too late in countering Chinese aggression. But better late than never! The one good consequence of this attack was that Internet Explorer received the final nail in the coffin it needed to become obsolete.
The TFA is an agreement for movement of goods between member Nations. What has this got to do with apps? Apps are not goods. They are services. You haven't even read the first paragraph of the agreement. I am guessing you are talking about Trade Facilitation Agreement here. If this is some other TFA that I am unaware of you can clarify. But if it is the Trade Facilitation Agreement it doesn't have any bearings with respect to software/services.
> That's the point. Facebook and Google decided not to follow thebrelevant censorship laws and are banned, Microsoft did and also turned over source code for security reasons (like the Huawei did in the UK). They aren't banned. Am I talking to a Markov chain? It honestly just seems like you copy pasted some response you had saved up without consideration for context.
Microsoft did and it still is in trouble. What is your point now? That Microsoft will be able to operate indefinitely in China? I just told you that Microsoft, HP and Dell are in big trouble as CCP wants them out through the 3-5-2 formula. You are being the Markov chain here because honestly you are unable to grasp this basic response that I gave in my earlier comment. Or you are deliberately trying to troll which is equally pathetic.
