I read the git history changes and while I generally think it’s somewhat of a nothing burger for savvy users, it is a scummy move that alienates their core user base at a moment in time where they were best positioned to expand their user base.

99% are already not using Firefox 😅. I assume a larger portion of the Firefox user base is technically savvy.

Nobody is saying it would solve the problem but it might make me feel a little better

Pretending that the law matters during a fascist coup is not productive.

I think they would still be open to civil liability, for services that compete with TikTok or anybody who could claim harm came from companies refusal to follow the law.

I don’t even think we need to wait that long, anybody with a product that “competes” with TikTok would have standing to sue Google, Oracle, and Apple for violating the law and causing harm to their business. The possibility of government penalties in 4 years is just the icing on the cake.

Okay now China just needs to not sell and then in April we can sue Google and Apple out of existence right?
