TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, is China‑based, so their rules could ultimately apply to data, including data held outside China. And we know who might be at least tempted to have a looky-loo at foreign data in China - especially individual folks' stuff for naughty things like pressure...

To be fair, he's also helping the base by regurgitating some of their sentiments on the socials too, no? :)

Depends how terse the email from HR announcing the departure is :) Meanwhile, on the CHN file, some "subtle" "hints." https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/chinese-ambassador-pitches-evs-first-090037773.html

Remember, it's not interference if they want you to know where it's coming from - highlights mine ;) "... While appearing on the right-wing TV station Real America's Voice, (U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott) Bessent claimed Canada won't let Alberta build a pipeline to the Pacific. "I think we...

All true enough, for sure. Still, as others have said in these parts, legal =/= right. Fair enough as well. As for the Democrats dropping the ball, also fair, but also as others smarter than me here have said in similar situations, it's up to the current management to fix things, and there...

I like to think most people would be thinking "yeah, something's gotta be done about people that are overstaying their documentation re: the rules, but maybe there's better ways of doing this." In the end, though, where does the fed buck ultimately stop? And who sets the tone, even if they...

Michelle Rempel Garner on "the speech" (also archived here) .... https://nationalpost.com/opinion/michelle-rempel-garner-nice-speech-carney-but-what-are-you-going-to-do-about-it ... with this bit standing out for me as at least suggesting that PP will likely continue more down the opposing path...

One in four think the fed plan will keep them safer than the TPS approach, but that =/= respondents hating responsible gun owners (unless Leger asked that question). What jumps out at me is almost 1/3 aren’t sure which approach is best. If it truly applies across the board, THAT’S a crack...
