#2 Yes, yes. We had to close down the3 American economy, mask-up (though masks don't work), stand six feet apart and stay out of gyms and off the beach.

But banning this spyware is a step too far.

Riiiiiiight...

#3 Anyone remember from a mere few years ago the Lenovo computers (made in China, natch) whose BIOS chips also captured keystrokes? The most charitable way I'll describe Democrats or anyone else bitching about this is stunning naivete.

#7 In Michigan, TikTok has been banned on state government devices, but the Mitten Queen, Governor Whitmer, will maintain her TikTok account due to a sizable social media following. A security risk for government employees, but no problemo encouraging the proletariate to use it.

#10 "F-ck that pessimist Pangloss! I'm focused
On possible futures -- the wokest!
My personal fave
Is this stunning and brave
Gay supremacist Day of the Locust!"
