“The Leopards won’t eat my face”

It’s not hypocrisy. There’s no obligation to treat companies or people outside of the US the same as in the US. National security is a different beast all together.

They will comply with any court order. They won’t hand over unfettered access like TikTok has to in China.

It’s not great, but no public company has the ability to start a war with the US and utilize that data for that purpose.

Are you talking about pre-roll ads for other shows on the platform? That was the norm before Netflix. HBO has done it for most of their existence.

I’ve heard this before too. TikTok is particularly bad, but twitch was worse than YouTube. Not sure about any of these newer ones.
