This headline is malpractice. As best I can tell, the expert quotes point to more testing availability possibly increasing the number, different metrics (7-day positivity) being more useful, and college contact tracing plans (?). Like saying "well the flag is really more of a maroon than a red" 😡

The US declared war on TikTok because it can’t handle the truth by Sarah Jeong (The Verge)

The battle over TikTok’s ownership is only one part of a much larger war.

This is an enormous change from the US’s previous internet policy — and likely a bad one.

Glad that Sarah is writing again. ‘This is not to say: "Companies good; government bad." Rest assured, everyone and everything is bad. It’s bad all the way down.’
