Having trouble exactly replicating your chart, but isn’t the ratio of house prices to rent even higher now than in 2008? Doesn’t that imply big trouble for the housing market?

Not saying you’re wrong about avoiding X, but that tweet does have a community note as of right now

Ah yes, lets constrain the human race rather than just allowing more density places people want to live

It’s china.
I’m not disputing any of that. I’m just saying the push to ban TikTok began because of concerns re. China. And that the ban (not actually a ban but a forced sale) should be upheld because of China.

Maybe it helped push it across the finish line, but I believe it had nothing to do with the push to ban it in early 2023. Israel/Palestine was just not a big issue on the platform before 10/7.

I think you’re delusional. Not everything is about Palestine. China is our main geopolitical rival.

“TikTok sends data about its American users to the Chinese Communist Party, and TikTok is probably subject to Chinese-directed censorship that tries to nudge U.S. users into supporting CCP goals.”

It’s not just that the platform is controlled by a hostile state actor; they also are collecting enormous amounts of data on Americans.

Congress was trying to ban it in March 2023. Are you really trying to say that was because of Israel/Palestine? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The Romney quote is from May 2024. Again, post 10/7/23.
January 11, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Come on man, both of these things can be true 1) TikTok should be banned because it’s a Chinese propaganda outlet, congress recognized this pre-10/7/23, and 2) how TikTok affected the narrative around Gaza has given them extra motivation to ban it more recently. I’m not disputing you may be right.
January 11, 2025 at 10:08 PM
I don’t think it was big issue on TikTok before Oct 7 23 to the point where it’s why congress wanted to ban it back then, no.
January 11, 2025 at 10:06 PM
The article I replied with was from March 2023, 6 months before the Israel/Hamas war started. Maybe this gave them added urgency, but congress started trying to ban TikTok well before Gaza.
January 11, 2025 at 12:32 PM
That may be why these Jewish groups support the ban, but most support the ban because it’s clearly a Chinese propaganda outlet open.substack.com/pub/noahpini...
Yes, of course we should ban TikTok
