TikTok’s ban can directly be traced to a failure to hire more political scientists in the Southern California area for six figures. They may still have time to fix this, but it’s running out.
@opinonhaver Many people are saying it still won’t be enough unless they build Nordic style dense social housing with luxury amenities for those same social scientists
@opinonhaver if only they had hired a skilled PhD candidate
@opinonhaver I think Rand could use someone with your depth of insight.
@opinonhaver In fact whole heartedly agree; to expand on your point, the lack of affordable masters programs also contributed to this
@opinonhaver I honestly think the campaign they ran to oppose the ban negatively polarized a bunch of Members who otherwise didn't care much. A big part of the concern was the platform being used to influence US politics: organizing a phone bank through their platform is a blatant attempt.
