“We’ve seen no evidence to corroborate this claim, including from the article published in the Netherlands today. We proactively implemented account security measures for a designated group of high-profile, election-related Twitter accounts in the United States, including federal branches of government.”

Whelp, that’s one way to burn some bridges.
Apparently they were spending $10-$30 to acquire an active user and expecting to generate $5 of revenue per user in the US, implying a revenue payback period of 2-6 years.
Some ugly unit economics.
Usually if Instagram wants your account they add underscores to the original handle like they did with @sussexroyal.
Why is this tolerated if the U.S. Gov has major concerns about the PRC’s having access to TikTok’s data?
I predict many Twitch viewers will drawn to the service so they can try and stream snipe their favorite personalities without having to buy the game.
Little kids on TikTok are much more vicious than Twitter users. And they are little kids. Tiktok does a decent job with facial recognition to suppress their videos but that doesn’t stop a mass horde of them from stumbling on a couple of videos of mine and turning it into a cesspool.
Now of course that’s not worth the eradication of the app, but it’s not very inspiring to see the next generation being encouraged to act in the worst ways of online discourse.
That was on top of purchasing Musically for $800m, partially for their existing U.S. user base.

>Here is my theory, though: Blue Apron is a tech company in the sense that its product is not meals, or ingredients, but simulacrum. What it delivers is the idea of creating a home-cooked meal from fresh ingredients, without the tedious shopping and chopping work that that would otherwise require. What Blue Apron delivers is not exactly convenience -- ordering takeout is a lot more convenient -- but the perception that you are doing something complicated and real and primal while you are actually, through the miracle of technology, doing something much easier. Blue Apron is a virtual-reality company.

So, I got no lead time on evasi0n7, nor was I asked for an official iOS 7 Cydia; I was not given builds, nor was I asked for things to test.
In fact, @evad3rs didn't even try my testing build of Substrate I gave core developers, so they didn't notice a fundamental incompatibility.
This means they are going to have to push a new version of their untether to fix this oversight before I can push newer builds of Substrate.
As there was also never a tethered jailbreak for iOS 7 that had fully working kernel patches I haven't been able to test much at all myself.
I thereby have no clue what will or will not work, or even what evasi0n7 includes; I hope that people bear with me as I figure this all out.
(In particular, I will point out that the build of "Cydia" included is not official, and couldn't really include the fixes I'd been making.)
(Also, it's 5 AM here; I'm quite tired and had been intending to go to sleep, so I don't have the brain power to react to this all quickly.)
Please peruse these hand drawn pictures done by a North Korean defector depicting what life is like at one of their concentration camp--at your leisure, of course:

To add to that, North Koreans have this policy called "third generation punishment". If a person does something that's frowned upon, like complaining about food rations, he/she gets executed with the knowledge that three generations of his/her family will be tortured to death at the camps. Many times the family gets sent without knowing the original family members' crime, just that they are now prisoners. If someone is born there it is a lifetime of slavery.

"I believe North Koreans have every right to live as they want, no matter how strange/hilarious/unmeaning/suppressed their lifestyle may seem to us."
Do you wish to retract that statement now?
