China has blocked US social media for years (decades perhaps?). I don't know if they've explicitly said all the reasons, but "social stability" is a big one.
It is obviously way better on this matter than China, but in principle, liberties are selectively granted in US and in China.
The TikTok ban topic has been stale for long time before it became the main harbor for Pro-Palestine content after it became under censorship by US social media thus depriving anti-Palestine from controling the narrative, effectively becoming a major concern for AIPAC et al.
Data collection is more of a plausible pretext at this point.
Statement by UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland on Attack by Israeli Settlers in Huwwara
“I condemn today’s attack by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property in the town of Huwara in occupied West Bank,” said UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland, in a statement.
“I'm outraged by the continued incitement, provocations, and lack of accountability for these violent crimes,” he added, stressing that “Israel must ensure that the civilian population is protected, and perpetrators are held to account.”
This is an excellent example of how Israelis feel the UN attacks us.
The October 6th statement condemning the Israelis destroying property in Huwara comes a month after an Israeli father and son were murdered in Huwara, and hours after another gunman in Huwara fired at Israeli civilians. The UN said nothing about the two murders or the continued gunfire at civilians. But property damage is something that they find important enough to comment on?!?
And to be absolutely clear, the attack by Israeli settlers was condemned by almost every single Israeli citizen, group, and media. Whereas Hamas, the PA, and the Islamic Jihad praised the two murders, I remember that only because they didn't claim the murderer as one of their own (which they usually do).
And to clear up one last detail, the Israeli settler attack in Huwara did damage property and there is a disputed incident in which an Arab attacking the Israelis (who may or may not have been those attacking) was killed - it's not clear if by Israeli civilian attackers or the military. The property damage was mostly (but not only) a car wrecking yard that was burned. See the photographs of the damaged vehicles, note that they are stacked on top of each other:
That is an Arab media source, that I found by searching for Huwara in Arabic, because I don't want to bias this answer with a link to an Israeli source (I'm sure there's bias in here despite my attempts to present dry facts).
That has the problem of opening up an attack where the attacker requests the sign-in link, the person receiving the link blindly clicks it, and the attacker now has access.
People blindly click links all the time. It would have a low success rate, but would be more than 0%.
> By some estimates, the Roman empire amounted to more than 80 million people at its peak, meaning that about a quarter of the world’s population could have been exposed to the lead pollution generated by mining and smelting. The effects of lead poisoning can be so severe that scholars have debated whether it contributed to the fall of the empire.
I wonder what will happen to current empires from micro- and nano-plastics, PFAS, airpolution, as well as harmful yet popular habits like doomscrolling and games addictions.
Does OP realize that people don't looks at 11:55 and think it means 11:55:00, but they think, it is just not 11:56 yet.
Computers and smart devices syncing to NTP doesn't have 30s average error rate, it is the author who has 30s average error rate in clock-reading if he reads a digital clock and think that the clock tells that no seconds has passed since the last time it added one minute.
