We need to keep them coming. I’ve had too many arguments with friends on the issue. Most think it is politically motivated (US internally). It’s not. But because Trump wanted to ban it half the country is prone to ignore the warnings which came about before his term started.

SPC Michael Duricko, Ph.D Those people are our family members, friends, and then some. The Chinese steak technologies and information. They are able to do this against the weakest links such as TikTok users. These users could provide the means to pivot access to more sensitive areas, create more group speak, and result in several human interactions nfluence operations. So saying “they will pay the price” is not that simple. Their lack of security discipline can affect this country as a whole.
