Looking for more context about TikTok and Project Texas? I've turned this thread into a Techdirt guest post (thanks, @mmasnick!) looking at the thorny and counterintuitive national security implications of siloing off US user data:

What now? Ivory goes into hyper mode with just the absolute minimum 3-4 things that have to be done finished up and then off to Apple. Probably going to be a bunch of things I'm not super happy with but I guess we'll fix it in post.
