TikTok set for U.S. ownership: Remember how TikTok was to be banned over fears that China could use the algorithm to manipulate entire populations? The Trump administration says under a new shakedown deal to avoid a ban, U.S. cloud giant Oracle will get to store all U.S. user data on its servers and the TikTok algorithm will be retrained and operated from the U.S. But as the EFF points out: "People can now be concerned that TikTok could be a conduit for U.S. government propaganda." Well, yeah! Not sure how that's all going to square when we have headlines like this from none other than… Oracle's chairman Larry Ellison. This is such a creepy and weird thing to say!

AI search results: “So this is how democracy dies; with thunderous applause” is a line from the movie Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. It is spoken by Senator Padmé Amidala. The phrase suggests that democratic principles can be gradually eroded with the support of the people. This can happen through charismatic leaders or populist movements that appeal to emotions instead of reason.
