Malcolm X has an old speech which applies very well to this issue as well. Too bad you can’t vote for him anymore.

Gringos wash their hands of their historical crimes, what a surprise.

That fund’s goal doesn’t even cover $1B per country and is done voluntarily from good will and even private institutions. From the other article you can see that the fund is basically just an investment gig for loans rather than donations out their well intentioned hearts. The USA has to pay compensation for Operation Condor at the very least, and that should not be something they can just opt out of. And that should only be the start if they want to get treated like allies and equals.

“A thing that happened in China probably happened in China and therefore is the entire responsibility of the Chinese government”

That ban also applied to public universities in Texas, which moved to block TikTok from campus Wi-Fi networks and school-owned devices. Texas A&M and the University of Texas were among the colleges that complied with the ban, limiting access to the hit social video app across their campuses.

They are literally barring its use through public university Wi-Fi. Not even needing to get into the hypocrisy of banning TikTok but not similar shit like Instagram, or the fact that both university students and professionals use TikTok both for social connections and for work, it is a clear curtailing of a form of communication over others through the government. Would banning lemmy.world from some public internet connections not be an infringement on the unalienable right to assemble and speech? RTFA.

How is it treasonous to cut support for a foreign country, exactly?

Ever since Trump they’ve taken a strange faux “anti-interventionism” isolationist perspective. This is why they have pulled back from Afghanistan, tried to ease tensions with Russia and generally focused on their “American jobs” rhetoric. It is obviously not applied consistently, like anything in the United States since the preamble to the declaration of independence saying “We hold this truths to be self evident that all men are created equal”, but this is somewhat consistent with their newer Dovish and isolationist insistence of avoiding getting tangled into conflicts abroad. Ironically for all his racist base and his constant hawkish and white supremacist rhetoric, Trump is one of the few modern Presidents to not have started any significant military intervention abroad. They have however also done a heck of a job making life as a minority in the USA way worse and wasted a ton of potential with the trade war on China and also the atrocity of giving moral/covert support to fascists abroad.

I can’t help but think of the climate activists who defaced the Van Gogh painting. Except they didn’t – because the painting is actually behind protective glass. I sincerely doubt most people got that fact from the outrage news cycle that followed that incident.

If it makes it better worse, Britain then promptly passed a bill that makes “disruptive” protests like that illegal. The government policy towards the climate crisis there is still the same ol’ “Keep Calm and Carry On”.

Did you know a lot of research is both posted on and based on those “time wasting” sites such as Youtube, Twitter and TikTok? Since social media is such a big fixture of our societies, social scientists basically depend on them for a lot of cool research that is now getting blocked by nonsense. Not to mention that “state networks” means literally public Wi-Fi. How terrified are you of TikTok that you’re more afraid of it hacking your Wi-Fi than literally every other proprietary software?

Research is way more than just “valid sources” as though it’s only based on what is cited on the final peer-reviewed papers. In the process of researching something you might want to watch lectures, see different short materials, tutorials on how to set up specific software and access all sorts of educational and information YouTube. Besides that social media is frequently used by scientists themselves both to communicate between each other as well as to make accessible materials for non-scientists. And that is not even including research that requires looking into those social media, like say social media analysis.

I’m not sure when have you last taken part in academic research but social media has been an important part of researcher life for longer than it has been for the average public. Get down from your high horse if you know nothing about that.

Not sure why you’re insisting on schoolkids when the article is specifically about state university. RTFA.

They’re meant to be using link aggregators like Google Scholar to find papers, not Facebook. Definitely not TikTok.

Thank you for clarifying you’re not part of the group you’re speaking for. Next time, preface your replies with “I didn’t read the article and I also have no experience in the subject matter, but I think my opinion is very important because it aligns with the government.” That will make it easier to separate the wheat from the chaff.

And idk what it’s like in your country

And apparently neither in yours. Go talk to a(nother) researcher and ask them if they could ever work properly if YouTube or Twitter were banned in their lab computers. Now extend that to reaearchers who specifically have a line of work that depends on TikTok. Then consider you might not know either what you’re talking about or how such work happens in practice. And finally RTFA.

But if you insist on focusing on school children who are not the subject matter here, I’ll have to accept that your expertise in high school trumps mine, I guess.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but as an AI language model, I don’t have direct access to books or copyrighted materials like “The Bedwetter” by Sarah Silverman.

Pack it up, guys!

On a serious note corporations abusing authors’ copyrighted work is on an entire different level to civilian piracy and I hope they get seriously shafted over it. Same thing for Bing and Bard. All of chatGPT is built on dubious or outright illegal datasets and there is no reason huge multinationals shouldn’t at least pay and inform the authors of those works. But in reality the blame will probably be shifted to the libraries.
