“We will not let you spy on American citizens. That’s our job!”

Whoever wrote that article is interpreting the situation all wrong. Bytedance isn't in denial, they're playing chicken, and they're betting that Biden will blink first. And they're probably right.

Shawn Ryan show number 105 with gen. Robert Spalding does hours on how TikTok is too important a tool for the CCP to allow it to be banned. I didn’t know until he said it in the interview that it’s not available in the ccp, and the home grown version of it had a 40 minute time limit for users. In a related note, that same episode does a detailed description of how Spalding is developing a private decentralized mini cell tower network with a 3 mile radius that can be minutely configured to the owner’s specs, including private connections to other systems.I don’t know enough about the nitty gritty details they discussed but it sounded interesting- even though this guy comes across as a military industrial complex wannabe. I’d like to hear your opinion on it with your telecommunications background.
