China has the perfect grip on Elon. 50 % of the Tesla production is in China. President Elon cannot afford China's retaliation so TikTok will not be banned in the US.
Ok. Congress passes a law. The President signs it. The Supreme Court confirms its constitutionality. What part of faithfully execute does Mr Trump not understand?
TikTok didn’t have to shut down. They did it intentionally to make Trump look like a savior when he gives it a 90 day extension. They’ll still be forced to sell or face a ban at the end of the 90 day period.
Amazing that the new prez is willing to sellout the US and it's national secrets. Remember Trumpers YOU voted for the downfall of the US. YOU! Congrats. Enjoy all the bad that will be coming your way...it's what u wanted afterall. Wish granted.
My profile & Inbox are up but not videos. Sorry but this Stunt has made me want to delete TT as soon as it fully comes back online. BlueSky & YouTube is it. F Meta & now TT too.
Check their profile. They usually provide link or address to other socials like FB, IG- Meta products, YouTube & BlueSky. When I knew the great turn off was coming, I followed all my mutual & faves.
So, not a Chinese owned “security threat”, ok, if you say so 🤷♀️. How about the legislative cycles burned- time and $, as I am sure there were studies, consultants and expert testimony to confirm the “threat”. Great start creating the inefficient government that yet more Feds (DOGE) will fix 🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️
The only reason I'm going back on Tiktok if/when it comes back is to delete my account. Trump started the "ban TikTok" thing, Democrats supported and passed it, and now Trump wants to "save" TikTok? HA!! 🤣
Are we expected to think this wasn’t the plan the entire time? Little Donnie scum bag wanted to look like the saviour. How long until he forces the sale to Leon?
Of course. Just a stunt so trump could appear to not be a complete failure after not being able to lower the cost of eggs, groceries, gas, end the Ukraine war in 24 hours (he had to say he was wrong about that), plus every other broken campaign promise. 🙄
I’m BEGGING people not to be fooled that tiktok is back. The #tiktokban was a stunt and Monday we will find out 1. Meta now owns it without the OG algorithm (making it not even close to what it was or 2. Meta owns it all and it’s still just a shell of what it used to be.
None of this would have happened, had Trump not started the calls to ban Tik Tok in the first place. Now he’s the hero who saves it. You break something, you fix it and you are the hero. The irony of it all.
Help me here: isn’t it plausible that China (and Russia) helped the idiot get “elected” and now he’s paying them billions in US money by pretending to save TT? Seems obvious to me but no one is saying it.
Maybe a more honest summary @cnn.com, something like…”Trump pledged to sign an executive order to restore Tik Tok after initially being the one to suggest banning the app.” Too honest tho, huh?
No, no, no...they are too busy trying to appear like a fair and balanced news organization. When in reality they are apologists for right-wing hypocrisy. The days when they held people to the truth are long dead. World's most trusted news network my ass.
Trump doesn't care about United States national security of this nation, he care about ccp propaganda, why ccp ban youtube, Facebook, Instagram and other app in China why, now Trump wanna sign executive order for ccp over United States National Security, that make Trump who ? A Traitor Of USA.
This was ALL abt the “smoke & mirrors” like the Wizard of Oz, oh great one DJT. You evangelicals not concerned abt this savior complex he has, you know the book of revelations type stuff; just askin
So much emphasis put on a social media app. It’s nothing. Let it go dark. What did we do before it? If it comes back online it’ll be in Trump and his cronies back pocket. It’ll only show what they want. We as adults should dump all these apps. We lived without them before, we can do it again.
Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok chose to shut down in order to portray Trump as their savior among the young voters who don't remember the shitshow from 2017-2021. I didn't stutter, anyone honest with themselves knows Trump was a mess first time around.
I think Trump will get this extended, but will eventually not get the ownership he seeks. This is a lot of free publicity for TikTok from around the world.
Anyone have any thoughts on which news organizations won't be cowered into submission by Trump? CNN is a goner, it seems. Just wondering where y'all are turning to for news after tomorrow.
Hey CNN, how would someone also understand that Trump had previously called for and helped set the wheels in motion to ban Tik Tok by reading your headline?
CNN fails to mention what Tik Tok has done is illegal, that a 90 day reprieve is also against the law and what Dumpy is proposing, ensuring no penalties for breaking the law is also illegal. Bowing to China already.
There’s no option there. Souls are souls and if your soul is lost in Tik Tok than you don’t exist outside of Tik Tok and your soul in Tik Tok continues to exist. Understand. This is a soul game and Jesus Christ already won that battle.Believe or don’t? times over.In Jesus Christs name we pray amen.
I enjoy tik tok as much as the next person, but it was a law passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court 9-0. Danger precedent and its not even day one
Per the letter of the law, nope!
Given the assertion in the law and debate in congress that this was a mater of security, the intervention becomes impeachable and prior to office action clearly no shield as an official act.
Still down from the Google play store. I uninstalled the app once I got that message but now I can't download it again. That's on me yeah but still annoying. I hope this decision gets reversed because this is just bull. Vague concerns of national security threats ain't enough to ban something.
Thank Biden. He never actually banned it. They preemptively shut down assuming Trump was going to follow through with the ban. Trump initiated the call for a ban back in Aug 2020 when he was still in his first term. He’s playing y’all and y’all are falling for it
Unbelievable! Americans are being so obviously manipulated. Sadly so many will give Trump credit forgetting he started all of this. CNN call it out loudly. Be a real news organization like you used to be.
There is a level of competence we should expect, but a good chunk of the American people showed that they are uneducated clowns so this is what is expected when morons votes for a scam artist
Why do you think the Supreme Court upheld the decision? So Trump can look like some kind of hero when he brings it back. Why can’t people see his grifts? They are so juvenile.
Not that I agree with the Tik Tok ban, but I’m unclear how a president’s executive order could overturn a bill passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court.
Just in time for the latest dance craze! It's like TikTok heard Trump’s words and decided to make a comeback. Maybe it was just taking a short break to rehearse those viral routines.
Now watch his followers heap praise upon him while ignoring he was the one who wanted it shut down. Guess no security risk now? Or was that just more BS? Whats worse is the low info people will probably believe he really did save it.

Not even 12 hours after the ban is in effect: “we’ll settle for 50% ownership” 🥺
Fucking sickening

How is an EO possibly legal? Expect to see more of these illegal actions
And we have no checks and balances.
BUY MY GIUTAR. !
Boycott TikTok altogether, don’t let the government decide what information you have access to!
Let it die, it was good because the US government couldn’t control it, which is why they wanted to ban it in the first place!
Trump bribes TikTok of 50% of its company as bullyboy oligarch tactics take over the Soviet States of America.

#Trump
Rotten to the core✔️
So TikTok would tee up President Trump as the hero who brought back TikTok.
MAGA &the CCP are aligning their interests.
Don't go back.
We have no idea what the CCP and MAGA are planning for TikTok, &we won't know until 4 years later if we were manipulated

Humans are making fun of themselves nonstop.
Everywhere, in everything, every second of their wasted lives.

Data mining?
It’s all gaslighting
Plain for all to see

For sale cheap: 1 abandoned country
At least, you didn’t elect a woman
Right?
