With a distinct feel of déjà-vu, comes the next twitter killer or rather x killer thriller. It is definitely an upgrade for TikTok to add more creative features.

A TikTok Ban? How Dancing Became a Danger To National Security

by Rosa NovaArtificial Intelligence, Litigation, Metaverse, Reform March 9, 2023January 7, 2024Comments are Disabled

DanceByte, the company that brought us TikTok is currently under fire for (1) hosting government officials and (2) being in China. Literally two things outside of DanceByte’s control. This is what our dysfunctional world has come to. The completely unconstitutional ban that couldn’t happen under the previous US administration, seems to be gaining “bipartisan” traction …
