Gladwyn d’Souza<p>“Jokes aside, and Pelosi’s maybe partial senility aside, in 82 or something, she started off that whole tirade with a complete lie, and that's what lots of Democrats have been doing with respect to this bill. They say it's not a ban.<br>They say <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/TikTok" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TikTok</span></a> is lying to its users when they claim it's a ban. They say that opponents of the bill are making things up or exaggerating when they characterize it as a ban. That is itself a lie to assuage what would otherwise be a very significant uproar from their constituents when they realize that Congress is actually serious about barring them from using one of the most popular apps in the country.<br>So it's just a lie.” </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ShireenAbuAklehMomentsFromTonkenToWMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShireenAbuAklehMomentsFromTonkenToWMD</span></a> </p><p>From System Update with Glenn Greenwald: Bipartisan House Vote Pushes Deep State TikTok Ban—Who Really Benefits? w/ Michael Tracey, Mar 15, 2024<br><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/system-update-with-glenn-greenwald/id1669610956?i=1000649308150" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/</span><span class="invisible">system-update-with-glenn-greenwald/id1669610956?i=1000649308150</span></a><br>This material may be protected by copyright. </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ReformTheMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReformTheMedia</span></a></p>

Gall, icing on this cake, does not quote a single Russian official and appears to have interviewed none. But, given how open Russian officials have been about this program, I do not see that we can summarily dismiss their many-times-repeated explanation when they say the intent was to keep children—a lot of them living in orphanages or on the street—out of harm’s way.
