Having shut down TikTok for a few hours and replaced it with pro-MAGA propaganda, TikTok is announces it is restoring service, including more pro-MAGA propaganda in the announcement

I think I'm going to vomit. Seriously.

Torn between thinking that this much corporate bootlicking will lead to low trust among users who, if nothing else, are conditioned to not trust governments and institutions, or refusing to give the American voter enough credit to assume they know the difference between silt and Ovaltine.

The obsequiousness is sickening. No other word for it. Just complete slobbering at the feet of a maniac.

Wish I had a TikTok account so I could quit it.

I’m negatively polarized against people who are literate enough to use a text based social media app but are pretending to be naive enough to fall for trump’s stunt to “save” the app he started the process of banning

Imagine a sword of damocles the size of $5000/user/day hanging over your head.

Yeah, I was on the app just to watch videos, but can't see going back now. It's all pretty gross!

whereswebb.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yeah i didn’t actually think it would get banned and was using it plenty but I deleted it after the “this is illegal now but hopefully big strong president trump can fix it!” message they posted

The wilder worse thing about this is that Trump's good deed has no good intentions behind it.
He did an action more progressive and left-leaning and beneficial than most Democrats and ALL Republicans but he has a very right-wing conservative evil reason behind it.
Mark my words this is not great.

Oh, gross.

It’s like watching 1930s Germany in 2025. And if history repeats none of the companies will be held accountable for their complicity and profits from the crimes of the regime.

We are in the dumbest timeline.
