All hail President Rogan.

I've been thinking, what if votes were weighted by age? Young and old votes get weighted less

IMO most laws should be at the level of goals, and the agencies implementing them should get down and dirty with how that should be achieved. So the upthread comment would be appropriate for whatever agency is tasked with implementing a last stating "social networks may not cause user lock in".

Really they should have made a bigger effort to make touch screen controls more 1 to 1 with mouse and keyboard controls

The app of course needs access to the Internet, through your WiFi or mobile Internet. However, depending on the app, phone OS and the security configuration of your local network setup it could have access to other devices as well.

But that's usually on purpose or by accident of the user. In court, one valid question could be if TikTok tries to make use of such a configuration, and for what reasons.

So I think the question itself is not that bad, if it got a clarification / follow-up question like the above.

Pretty much. The only real difference between plumbing and the internet is everything but the pipes.

I hate to defend it. But considering he was trying to present an analogy his peers could understand, I get it. You can build a bigger pipe, add more pipes, or push the water faster. It's not far off the mark in that respect to the analogy.

And you're right about exclusion of networking principles. You could build a very convoluted model of water distribution using networking rules.

You just described several of my relatives of the younger generation . Just cuz a person was born in the technical era does not make them a technical genius.

It does provide good cringe content watching the senate chamber questioning about anything modern tech.

The American parties don't need to spend any effort suppressing third parties, the constitution does that for them. First past the post always leads to two parties.

Suppose Bernie Sanders went independent and campaigned for president, and he got half of the votes that the democratic party would have got otherwise. If that happened, the Republicans could win with as little as 40% of the vote. Even if 60% of people were leftist, if 30% vote democrat and 30% vote bernie, then Trump still wins. It's always in your best interest to have as few parties on your side as possible, and that means there can only be two parties.

In an instant runoff system, I can vote for the communist party first, the legalise weed party second, and the moderate left party third. If the communists and stoners don't get enough votes, my votes will still go to the moderates and stop the reactionaries from winning. That means it's safe for me to vote third party. A luxury Americans don't have.

I think the joke is people still use services with known privacy issues because it's 1. Convenient, and 2. Already in their spheres of use

Who said anything about legality? I’m responding to a poorly thought-out, ageist meme about not understanding implications when all generations are making this mistake very regularly.
