NEOM Line City has effectively been cancelled.

To be rebranded as a glorified Data Center.

NEOM Line never made any sense from a geometric or economic sense. There was never really a clear explanation of why people would want to live in a 200m wide line in the scorching desert. Cities exist for economic reasons and the Line never had any. It was only ever a ridiculous vanity project for someone with more oil money than sense, except this time they bit off more than even they could afford.

As I suspected the TikTok sale is more about information control than fear of Chinese propaganda.
The end state goal was basically just censorship rights, because there weren't even a sale, just a spinoff joint venture.
ByteDance controls the algorithm, ByteDance even still controls TikTok US, they just created a new JV to let Americans censor content for American users lol

I'm guessing TikTok US is just an entity created or left in place for revenue flow-through and tax purposes. The only TikTok app that US users will be able to access will only be whatever this new JV puts out most likely.

modal white American age is 58.

What youth say doesn't matter. The boomers literally run everything.

Incredible to think that after the boomers are gone the US is going to have the biggest demographical shift in their entire history. No wonder MAGATARDS are desperate.

Notice it's "license algorithm and IP 'usage' right to."
The JV only has the right to use whatever ByteDance builds, they don't have the right to build themselves.
They paid for ByteDance to build a censorship tool for them, that's the limit of what Chinese law allows.
Chinese law has the final word.
