Necessary clarity? Let’s do a jv with the government? What? Or not. Or something else. This same dufus wanted it sold or gone before a big shareholder donated to him. This is starting off very bad with this scam and the meme coin con. Way worse than i thought. musk/trump are clearly for sale.
It's the same as the school bully, this has been Trump's only game and the tough guy Americans have not only fallen for it, they worship captain bone spurs for it. The country responsible for so much has elected a guy who has produced nothing but fear and will play the tech bro's...
Oligarch’s …. As the song goes Money, get back
I'm alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do-goody-good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet
I can translate. We are selling out most likely to Meta in cahoots with Trump. Your algorithm will be destroyed forever but we’re hoping you’re are too naive to understand that. Please subscribe to our one media source oligarchy
TikTok ban caused a problem for incoming President Musk. A quarter of Tesla revenues come from China. Also puts Musk’s plan to build a second Tesla factory in China in jeopardy.
Do folks know that Tik Tok took its own site down and that Biden specifically did not insist it be taken down? This whole incident was a scam to bow down to Trump.
tRump isn't difficult to manipulate and these social media oligarchs know that all they have to do is compliment him and they can get whatever they want.
This stunt proves how stupid they believe people are. They really think Trump will be seen as the great savior.
Unfortunately, many people are going to fall for this con.
I deleted, or downloaded, all my TT videos, except two, before it disappeared. I think I'll let them sit there a while. Not sure if/ when I'll log back on...
I knew it before it happened. Pretty sure the smart people all (75 mil) knew it was a grift.
But the grift is for the dumb people. Just sad next 4 years we smart people have to suffer because of dumb people.
This was a huge scam between TikTok and Trump. It was announced three days ago that TT will be the main sponsor of his inauguration party…I think we can all do that math. I immediately deleted my account as soon as they came back online today. I’ll stay at rednote.
Joe Biden told them he wouldn’t enforce but it wasn’t enough. Trump told them he wouldn’t enforce and they said ok! We’re back. Transparent as fuck and for that reason I’m out.
Why were they not willing to work with President Biden? They had time to comply and make a deal. Oh, wait... I get it. There was a deal being made at a tacky resort in south Florida.
All I know is, my FYP looks COMPLETELY different and I returned to having 2 comments removed for “violating community guidelines” for saying trans women in bathrooms are less of a threat to women than straight men are and another similar comment about straight men. I’m out.
RICO much? “racketeering may refer to a criminal act in which the perpetrators offer a service that will not be put into effect, offer a service to solve a nonexistent problem, or offer a service that solves a problem that would not exist without the racket.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeering
My plan is to stress test the F out if the “newly restored” version of TT.
I’ve never had any of my Trump-bashing content removed before, so I guess there’s only one way to find out who’s REALLY controlling it…. 🙂
(*cracks knuckles)
This is the right take. I’m not on it, but TT users, see how far you can go without being banned. Tell your followers what you are doing, so when/if you disappear they’ll know why: “If anything happens to me, know it was the orange guy.”
I do worry that RW propaganda will start to be added.
Deleting the TicToc App. I told my kids the same thing. Freedom is not to be controlled by the government or the billionaires that kiss the orange-assed felon.
I'm having a little "don't tread on me" moment, but unfortunately, that was hijacked by the racist MAGAS.
#resist #deleteTicToc
Me too, deleted it right after the pro Trump message. .. but I can't fault those people who made an income from the app staying. It would be a hardship for them. That is what Trump is counting on.
nope. not a bit. tik-tok suspended it's service to the USA until it got assurance from #NachoPresident that he would not enforce the ban. the $1 million or so that it "donated" to him didn't hurt things, either.
I fear there were sacrifices. I feel this is a con and as much as I enjoyed it, I don't think I will get the app back. This is the only platform left for me and I hope it stays this way.
I’m old enough not to get the whole tiktok phenomenon.
But just looking at the clips of people’s reaction to the ban then the lifting leaves me wondering- who ARE these people?
WTF?!!!! If this doesn’t scream con job what does?This is just one more grift. I am not going back until I can be 100% sure of who owns what and who is profiting off this app.
If the US government owns 50 percent of TikTok, it will mean that orange goofus will receive 50 percent of its revenue. Content creators will probably not get paid or will have to “kick upstairs.” It will most likely become a racist sewer like xwitter.
I was thinking the same. They paid a price, and we have no idea what it was. I have no interest in being an unwitting participant in another Cambridge Analytica event.
Trump first attacked tik tok with an executive order, Trump had Mike Johnson put the ban in a must pass humanitarian aid bill, Trump is using tiktok to call him the hero for the fraud and insider trading which he caused. But don't worry tiktok is used to working with dictators (by bending over)
My account was perma banned like 8 months ago because I kept getting CG violations for stupid shit like using clown and snowflake emojis. I didn’t go back then, and I don’t give a shit now.
Im not re-downloading that app. I prefer my daily intake of propaganda to not be so overt. I want the government to put in long hrs and sweat to indoctrinate me. I dont want the red pill and fear porn they use on the Republicans.
So weird how a guy that fought to shut Tik Tok down, gets a few million and now is a big supporter of Tik Tok. Bribe or extortion. Either way, trump gets paid. And since when does an executive order override a Supreme Court decision? Robert’s, you got played. Join the other MAGAS. Guardrails?
I’ve said it once, twice, maybe three times and I’m saying it again. It’s time to go dark on socials. Use cabeza libro for only personal things and family updates. Do not comment on news. Do not argue. Leave them out there in the cold. Be the hindrance. Minimize being clickbait. Delete TT forever.
I'm not returning either. I actually just finished a book this morning and plan to start another to keep learning about our history to prepare myself for what is to come.
All a political stunt. If I had a business/following on Tik Tok, I would slowly try to migrate off over the next few months. The “solution” Trump has in mind will be worse.
All tiktok users need to go to RedNote. Mango Mussolini wants to have his autocratic administration buy the platform so they can make billions off of it while vomiting propaganda.
It's *sort of* working, not fully back. Trump was worried about the ban competing with inauguration coverage. I am sure some monetary incentive was also involved.

So state owned social media

No other reason.

It's gonna be a long 4 years.
Maybe Missouri should sue. Isn’t this the same legal argument it used to plunge millions of student loan account holders into MOHELA hell?
I need to write out a timeline because NO ONE WAS PAYING ATTENTION!
