Dr. King said it best #MLKDay

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

TikTok is Schrödinger's app, perpetually alive and dead at the same time, depending on random subatomic events that occur out of view

Never forget.
