It would be akin to passing a law that states Finite Banjo's friend Jose must no longer act as a proxy between Finite Banjo and Jose's friend Juan, as Finite Banjo is not constitutionally protected but Jose is, or Jose must cut all contact with Juan because Finite Banjo is harming Juan.

The fact that you think you can remove all context in an attempt to win an argument is just evidence of your inability to comprehend complexity.

And the subsidiary has explicit permission to continue operating if the parent company divests.

Or they just route the sale of traffic through a domestic data broker and buy “analysis” on the Chinese side of the legal fence. There are so many badly policed and underregulated aspects of the data business that this shit never amounts to more than publicity stunts.

That is literally what Facebook was fined for, BEFORE the new laws were put in place. Cambridge Analytica did what you just described.

For using deviced capable of recording audio and transmitting photos of the environment at all times. Every patient that comes through has all of their vulnerabilities exposed.

I hope hospitals that promote such behavior get sued into the ground.

A US Citizen might be protected by Article 1 Section 9, but courts have adopted a three-part test to determine if a law functions as a bill of attainder:

  1. The law inflicts punishment.
  2. The law targets specific named or identifiable individuals or groups.
  3. Those individuals or groups would otherwise have judicial protections.

And unfortunately for the CCP they fail #3 unless the Chinese owners divest and all Chinese centralization for the company gets shut down.

Also, the tiktok ban was passed alongside a bill outlawing sale of data to China, Iran, Russia, etc. So if FB is still selling to China it is also illegal.

Technically, the second partof that bill bans sending user data to China for all companies, so it's foreseeabke that they get fined into the dirt if nothing else.

I hope the Facebook multi-billion dollar fines act as precedent.

Pagers. Can't imagine who the foremost users of pagers would be in 2024.

It's still expensive because everything has to go through OPSEC.

TBH it isn't impossible that they faked 87 Million records these days, but it's also pretty likely a company such as Temu would lie also.

Sucks to suck for Rubes who use Temu.
