Seems like a very US-centric view of things. As a result, absolutely everybody and their sister in Europe uses WhatsApp for messaging and videocalls, even when they have an iPhone and messaging or calling another iPhone user. Allowing facebook to take over that global mindshare seems like a strategic mistake.

Can anyone figure out the lunacy of having strategic export laws on computers but allowing critical industries like chip foundries to be offshored? The most advanced chip manufacturing should always be in the US, you offshore commodities, not critically strategic components. You could see this coming 30 years ago, and somehow we’re here thanks to decades of unregulated corporate greed and government incompetence — and this is one area where I will happily lump both sides together.

Every time a LGBT+ issue comes up in here I'm amazed at the ignorance, bigotry and general nastiness on display.

If you don't like that emoticon, don't use it. And yes, there should be one for drag queens, and bearded women -- WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH?
