"The evidence," in this context refers to, "the Chinese Communist Party accessed the data of TikTok users on a broad scale, and for political purposes." And yes, a case can be proven on the word of 1 witness provided the jury believes that person is telling the truth. China’s 2017 National Intelligence Law states that “any organization” must assist or cooperate with state intelligence work while a separate 2014 Counter-Espionage Law says “relevant organizations ... may not refuse” to collect evidence for an investigation. Since ByteDance, which owns TikTok, is a Chinese company, it would likely have to abide by these rules if Chinese authorities asked it to turn over data. Laws and regulations are only one aspect of the Communist Party’s pervasive control. There are no legal limits on the party’s powers. The authorities also can threaten to cancel licenses, conduct regulatory or tax investigations and use other penalties to compel compliance by Chinese and foreign companies operating in China. The party sometimes conveys orders using “window guidance,” or informal communication in private. It has used crackdowns to tighten control over technology companies and force them to align with its goals.

Here's how it goes: "Tell you what, we'll let a foreign power harvest data on every citizen in this country!" "Hang on, won't the serfs clamour for such an outlet to banned?" "Exactly! Then we can completely control the internet!" You've got to hand it to them, the statists are miles ahead of the scum.

Interesting, I'll check this out when I get home. HYF certainly could use a remix, so I'm curious to hear this. What on Earth is the source for these? I wasn't aware that album had been mixed into 5.1...

Tracy Chapman - Give Me One Reason

Kesha - Gag Order This was my number 3 aoty last year when I made my list, but with how my life has gone since it released last March, and having not heard it since probably last summer or early fall at this point, it hits in a whole new way for me today. Paramore won my list initially, but in the long run I may wind up rating Gag Order over This Is Why.
