He is going to ensure that the right-wing gets control of it. No way to contact Pakman or any of the Dems with a voice to line up support for a left-wing buyer. And they TOO STUPID to think of it on their own.
Hi David, I hope you’ll reconsider staying on the TikTok platform. We can’t push for change if we don’t change ourselves. I deleted TikTok today and instagram the day before. We can do better.
Typical abusive behavior, he wants to ban it then pushes congress to act and crash it then says it’s someone else’s fault then Daddy wants to make it all better and wants a big hug . He’s the best gaslight that ever was lit.
The service is restored because they were not ordered to shut down servers, TikTok chose to do that for political reasons. Supreme Court ruling still stands, the app is no longer in app stores. Our politicians now want to go against the Supreme Court for political gain.
This is why we Americans are oppressed. People go running back to Tiktok, knowing full well we are being gaslit. we hate sacrifice and standing on our principles
Saved....a fool believes that statement, what make anyone think in 12 hrs the TT people coulnt manipulate things that meet the steaming pile agenda. Duped
They are playing in our faces thinking there will be no consequences. I know what side of history I will be on. I know that my granddaughter will be proud of my choices during this time.
As a Canadian, this is so frustrating. There are 1 billion monthly users on the app worldwide but only 10-15% are Americans… but now it’s being ruined for ALL of us. 😑
I’m seeing folks post about holds on this morning’s posts that they don’t typically get. 12 hours?! That sounds like an effective way to censor timely communication. 🤦♀️
If i was on tiktok i wouldn't fall for it unless tiktokers pay for half of it so a big company doesn't have full control over the platform. If they cant save tiktok, they need to make their own platform instead of jumping from platform to platform.
If you are being sarcastic, it would be good to note that. If not, wake the hell up. Anyone using TikTok anymore is complicit with aiding Trump. Sorry tiktokers - time to choose.
IOW, he ignored Congress's ban and SCOTUS' ruling. So much for laws in this country. And Roberts scolded us for not respecting their rulings. What an effing joke.
I didn’t want to but now I’m deleting TikTok as well. only because of this trump charade. Nope I’m not it anymore because trump has his dirty hands all in it now
Guess I’ll have to go back to not using the brainrot app I was not using before yesterday. But how the hell does Orange have any authority on this if he’s not sworn in yet?
It will be interesting to see if this has just been their CEO saying what he needed to be in Trump's good graces enough for him to not enforce the ban or if some deal has been made that essentially makes TikTok no longer what it was.
So wait. How could the Supreme Courts 9-0 decision on tik tok be ignored and saved by trump, but the issue of… literally anything else abides by the high court? Abortion, etc.
This is a “quid pro quo” between the President of the United States and a private company owned by China. 🇨🇳 — His spokesman, working out a secret deal with TikTok: “Give him the credit and he will not enforce the law.”
And more miracles: After shouting for years how Biden was selling out the USA to CHAI!!!-nah, he helps a Chinese app to continue collecting the Chinese government data of American citizens.
The nonsense has not stopped since 2016. And I’m not going back to the app just like I haven’t gone back to Facebook, IG, Twitter or NYT and Washington Post subscriptions or national media. Y’all can keep praising the man that purposely broke what he “fixed”
Hmmm... you don't think there's a "behind-the-scenes" scheme that Facebook potentially purchased tiktok? And why are the videos low quality? Maybe an update/merge?
Not me laughing at Americans logging back in after less than a day to see all the 'thank gawd the American's are gone' content that was immediately posted from the rest of the English speaking world... 🤣
Too late. Whatever deal tiktok made to moderate itself in favor of US imperialism is too little too late. I'll find another home to follow and discuss politics

It’s gonna be a brutal few years

On false terms that only serve the oligarchs! I’m staying here! RESIST!! 💪🏽
TT sold out/bribed Dolt45 and is dirty now
American voters struggle with critical thinking regardless of their age
I don't think America knows what it's in for
😲
Ban it now! His stance was clear,
But flattery whispered in his ear.
A sudden shift, a change in track,
Now he’s got TikTok’s back!
Someone explain to me why a law in America would prevent Danish citizens from downloading that app?
