I'm looking at the solution offered where American investors buy TikTok. How would that work? Does China own the product, support it, and roll out updates? Would that necessary technical backend be sold to America as well? Don't copyright protect that stuff?
... in that spirit, Facebook, Instagram, X, Microsoft, Apple, and other Big Tech should sell off their markets in every country outside its own borders.
I appreciate your post and I would add another consideration that answers the question, "Why do the numbers change with distance?" The answer is "standard candles." Close to Earth, we can use direct observation, and those markers have anomalies, due to local gravity influences. As we climb the distance ladder, we depend on standard candles that, "on average," exhibit predictable consistencies.
An obvious problem is the word, "average." That introduces wiggle room; a variation that we don't want. As we move out further, our candles are less standard and errors creep in. The problem is that we don't know, precisely, how many km an object is and that's one of the variables in k/s per MPc. While the new experiments are zeroing in on a reliable figure, the exercise is in "hunt," mode where the margins of error are getting closer to negligible.
... transparency to We the People is our number one priority and, though we have all but eliminated alien bullshit, we will create a new police force that will protect our assets from aliens as an extra layer of reassurance.
Any information collected by these alien detectors will be shared with police, armed forces, and targeted advertising agents. We the People will bear all costs.

I swim in these waters and your lay understanding is spot on. Here's support from ChatGPT:
Yes, according to current scientific understanding, black holes can undergo a process called Hawking radiation, proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking. This process involves the gradual loss of mass and energy from a black hole over an extremely long period. Eventually, if a black hole continues to radiate energy, it will lose mass and shrink until it theoretically reaches a point known as "black hole evaporation." At this point, the black hole would no longer exist. It's important to note that this process takes an incredibly long time, especially for stellar-mass black holes, making it practically unobservable on human timescales.
... improved website. Every cool kid had a website and the quality was lost in the quantity. I have a website I created in 1991 that has gone dormant. The site featured my photographs and visits were small because the interweb was saturated with photography sites.
Now, I can post on my Facebook, or Facebook Groups for photographers and all that. Exposure is maximum and SEO doesn't apply.
I see a disruptive inversion where a single site lost in a sea of sites is now one site that distributes my work to all who are interested in my work.
