I can’t imagine Hamas being the sole reason behind this decision. Of course at face value it is but feels like they are taking this opportunity to do this for some other reason.
Terrible nonetheless but worried about what else is to happen due to this.
All the drama started from this video
Gamers Nexus then made a video breaking down a bunch of issues with LMG
Linus responded 3 hours after GN posted their video.
The response was rushed and poorly made. Gamers Nexus the next day made a response.
Which made LinusTechTips push out a video addressing some of the concerns and what they are gonna do.
Then, an ex-employee came out, stating many of the issues they had with the company.
LinusTechTips on twitter (or x i guess?) stated they are looking into it.
Philip Defranco summarizes everything within 10 minutes and includes a couple of questions they asked LMG. I thought he did pretty well, so its alot better than spending several hours looking into everything.
Wish we could just implement some form of federal standards that are aimed towards protecting US citizens’ data instead of just banning a service like tiktok because “China bad”.
