It's already back up. What a clown show. Welcome to the circus of corruption.

How much did they donate to the inauguration fund asking for a friend…

Tik Tok CEO will be at the inauguration. Trump has special interest in China. Totally disregarding the emoluments clause. Trump sold the US out.

squishymctushy.bsky.social•35 days ago

If you thought having your information in the hands of China was bad, just think of it in the hands of the broligarchs. Shall I start mapping out the best places to cross in Maine?

At least at this point, China can’t throw us in camps for disagreeing.

elevenfilms.bsky.social•35 days ago

Hahaha exactly!

puppywrangler.bsky.social•35 days ago

Broligarchs. Spot on.

sheshe66.bsky.social•35 days ago

Only morons think Trump saved TikTok. Are you a moron?

pjocky82.bsky.social•35 days ago

How is this even allowed?

Trump can’t just sign a EO to override the Supreme Court, Congress or I don’t know a bill signed by a sitting president!!

Trump would have to tell congress to write new legislation to pass & make it into law

halmbrown.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trump said he wanted it saved because his millions of followers would be deprived of watching his inauguration there. Doubtful. Most would watch on TV. He also wants every platform possible to use for his own bloviating. He could do the same if it was American owned. https://nypost.com/2024/06/02/us-news/donald-trump-joins-tiktok-racks-up-22-million-views-in-hours/

udbina54.bsky.social•35 days ago

Well laid out plans

bcsan.bsky.social•35 days ago

Bets it becomes a meta owned app??

chadlywickwicky.bsky.social•35 days ago

What a joke. I'm not going back.

hikercat.bsky.social•35 days ago

It was after they realized everyone is finding out Biden had no intention on enforcing the Republican ban on Tiktok. Or they saw users going to other platforms quickly. I know my feed is full of new to Bluesky users.

lalashark.bsky.social•35 days ago

It’s all about the money. US 50% joint venture. Who do you think will make the Billion possibly trillions in dollars? NOT YOU TikTOKers.

nooligarchs.bsky.social•35 days ago

TikTok will have to “agree” to things it doesn’t like, to stay in the good graces of der Führer. I wouldn’t get (re)attached.

lwilli.bsky.social•35 days ago

tRUMP 2020-Tik Tok is "a threat to America’s national security."

tRUMP 2024-Tik Tok is "a unique medium for freedom of expression.”

sugarmama2025.bsky.social•35 days ago

Fake news? Never seen confirmation yet

techprint.bsky.social•35 days ago

I second that Fuck you TikTok!
And a special extra Fuck you to the orange turd Donald Trump. I'm unistaling TikTok and never again logging in.

geez-louise01.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trump solved a problem that he created. Cool cool cool… or what a tool, tool, tool.

deliarn.bsky.social•35 days ago

Why doesn’t Biden push back on this bullshit? Why is Biden going out so weak and submissive?

foulmouth-kat.bsky.social•35 days ago

TikTok = Deleted 💙💙

dannofilter.bsky.social•34 days ago

I don't give two shits what he says. It is banned by statute and affirmed by the Supreme Court and is law. The executive's job is to enforce the law. Full stop.

lyndza.bsky.social•35 days ago

Indeed

fredems13.bsky.social•35 days ago

It was all a performance. We are not stupid and we know it.

baboobar.bsky.social•34 days ago

We all know it’s about Trumps vanity- Trump never saved anything

nun4u.bsky.social•35 days ago

Paid Trump, like all the other billionaires are doing. Grifting and corruption will never end until Republikkkans grow some balls and start telling the truth about all this underhand bullshit. The peace between Hamas and Israel reminds me of Reagan and hostages in Iran. It's all smoke and mirrors

nadinemrosin.bsky.social•35 days ago

Please join me tomorrow in celebrating and honoring GOOD men by choosing 1 of these 3 photos as your Monday, 1/20 profile (not banner) pic.
Let's flood Bluesky w/the love and hope that these 2 men stood for!!!
Impervious to Monday's darkness, TOGETHER, LET'S SHINE OUR LIGHT!
Please REPOST thx!

He just couldn't stand not having an audience. Then I guess he wasn't right after all, was he?

madwoman1028.bsky.social•35 days ago

🖕 U Trump!

romzesse.bsky.social•35 days ago

It was a very short but very successful operation. Many people will thank Trump for saving TT

desertgirl55.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yeah...after he was responsible for it's ending in the first place. 🙄

civildisobedience.bsky.social•35 days ago

I deleted the app for that crappy stunt.

felinefury.bsky.social•35 days ago

Waiting for tomorrow to delete

foulmouth-kat.bsky.social•35 days ago

Me too

whereareyou.bsky.social•35 days ago

Is he overriding the Supreme Court’s decision?

felinefury.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yup

elayne1948.bsky.social•35 days ago

Frankly I couldn’t care less about TikTok. But the toddler president-elect needs it to satisfy his cult members. He doesn’t care if China is stealing everyone’s info because he probably doesn’t have an account. No account just a fucked up agenda.

gopiscomplicit.bsky.social•35 days ago

Weird how such a massive national security threat didn’t even need a full 24-hour pause.

Kickups must have came super fast

ralk7.bsky.social•35 days ago

You should say, “FU, China.”

Dems need to push much harder for nationwide boycotts against brutal dictatorships like China.

Especially when they heavily interfere in American society & politics like this.

dag44.bsky.social•35 days ago

Please don’t go back on it!!

caligreg.bsky.social•35 days ago

The Narcissist Flip-Flop

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!

drichards915.bsky.social•35 days ago

you left out "and the horse's ass you rode in on"

spacekadet53.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yes & fuck trumpy

bmrslc.bsky.social•35 days ago

trump is the very person who initiated the ban
and now he’ll get all the credit for saving it
after he was the person wanting to ban it 🙄
that’s one of his cons: he causes chaos, he makes a problem
then he makes it appear as if he fixes it
and 1/3 of this country think he’s jesus

askgma.bsky.social•35 days ago

Surprise. Not But good since Trump shut them down. No more concern for foreign interests owning our data. I guess. Let’s count the ways he cons us.

panchimama.bsky.social•35 days ago

ogdemondemocrat.bsky.social•35 days ago

Another one i have to delete r.i.p tiktok it was fun

barrylee770.bsky.social•34 days ago

This is what Americans should be concerned with? A social media venue?? Are we really this pathetic??

kurtwhittet.bsky.social•35 days ago

Fuck TikTok - it’s now very clear that they are part of Trump’s propaganda machine

rsthomas42.bsky.social•35 days ago

This has been theater from the start. It's a scam and the SCOTUS is in on it.

shirlsurely.bsky.social•35 days ago

Either way, some entity is going to own the data of Millions of subscribers & use it in whatever way they see fit. It's too bad that people are too shallow to just abandon it in light of all the CHAOS that surrounds it, and the fact that the incoming POS is going to be enriched by it in some fashion

johnhatchard.bsky.social•35 days ago

"The scam Trump just pulled on 150M American TikTok users" ...

I added extra links in this Bluesky thread not included in the original article.

alexanderr.nafofellas.com•35 days ago

That's an illegal act. The Executive branch does not have the authority to change laws.

bcacademic.bsky.social•35 days ago

Glad I deleted my account!

craftykathy.bsky.social•35 days ago

Another one to uninstall tomorrow.

perrymonster.bsky.social•35 days ago

So now it’s perfectly fine to ignore Supreme Court decisions? Perhaps it’s only OK when it helps Trump.

msmilack75.bsky.social•35 days ago

Tom Cotton and others just pointed out what Trump is doing is breaking the law by promising others there will be no liability if they break the law too

mostlycussing.bsky.social•35 days ago

🐎💩 pure propaganda 🖕🤬🤬🖕

pshyrein.bsky.social•35 days ago

Agree , they think we are sheep

lifeisok4me.bsky.social•35 days ago

Was never there and never will be. These motherfuckers capitulating 🤬🤬🤬!!!

puffpufffixer.bsky.social•35 days ago

TikTok has been permanently removed from our 14 devices.

Permanently.

Trump’s second State Social Media platform = DEMOCRATICALLY BANNED.

corruptocracy.bsky.social•35 days ago

drgibbreads.bsky.social•35 days ago

Fanbase is an American, Black owned alternative. If we all go there we can remake it the way we want. TT is compromised.

elisajstewart.bsky.social•35 days ago

Donald started the ban. Then CEO became a fan. And made a pledge to the man. So Donald became a fan and now will let the ban.

Pay to play president. You can’t get them to grovel if you don’t have any leverage over them. Donald created the leverage by starting the ban.

mdashe.bsky.social•35 days ago

You could work this into a good rhyme and meme it.

elisajstewart.bsky.social•35 days ago

Go for it! I’m a bit old for making memes. As in, I lack the technical skill to do so.

deesback.bsky.social•35 days ago

I won’t be going back because of this. They just bought 170 million votes in the next election

fredems13.bsky.social•35 days ago

It won’t be remembered by the next election, if we have one. The young folks on it won’t care who brought it back, just that it is back.

deesback.bsky.social•35 days ago

I hope you’re right. I am over there and they are pretty vocal about losing their livelihood and hoping he brings it back

felinefury.bsky.social•35 days ago

Gen X has more money for TikTok than Gen z and I made my final purchase

fredems13.bsky.social•35 days ago

Remind them that he set this in motion and played everyone. Show them this and that TikTok will be run by him with their content controlled by him if his full plan is enacted

Mines not up

jspringer6.bsky.social•35 days ago

Mine’s up…12:45pm ET. Everything is from a day or two ago, though…lol

elevenfilms.bsky.social•35 days ago

It’s slowly coming back online. I’ll bet yours will be up within an hour or two.

addiemarie.bsky.social•35 days ago

Neither is mine! At this point I don't even know if I even want it back

yosemiteonmymind.bsky.social•35 days ago

As the chief executive, isn't it Trump's duty to uphold the law to shut down Tiktok?

gagrip.bsky.social•35 days ago

And he isn't inaugurated yet so he has NO authority to make any deals.

yosemiteonmymind.bsky.social•35 days ago

Right? I was thinking the same thing when I read TikTok's notice saying that "President Trump" gave them assurances.

jnellg.bsky.social•34 days ago

Don’t fall for it…. TicTok is tainted now. We can never go back as it is now riddled with filthy dirty orange fingerprints.

monamo60.bsky.social•35 days ago

And EVERYONE on TikTok Just . Got. Played. By the mango turd. Glad to NOT be a part of that Ish.

elevenfilms.bsky.social•35 days ago

Hahaha!

jeannii226.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’ll bet good money that it will be back up for the inauguration then blacked out by Tuesday.

jspringer6.bsky.social•35 days ago

It’s already back up…I accessed at 1245pm ET ON Sunday 1/19

jeannii226.bsky.social•35 days ago

Mine keeps saying no internet connection. Yet here I am talking to you so🤷🏻‍♀️

costumesgal505.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yep

jenjanay.bsky.social•35 days ago

If Dump, Suckerberg or She-lon messes with it i swear ima just head to a library. I'm over their control

justthink.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trust the Chinese to know how to praise Dear Leader for “saving them” even when he was the one who threw them in jail/to the wolves in the first place. Never used Tik Tok and never will

sherry.blue•35 days ago

Of course it is - all part of the plan.

missybeez.bsky.social•35 days ago

Ugh… figures. Enter Elon Musk.

kmedaphore.bsky.social•35 days ago

Both TikTok and Meta can SIOOMA.

ladyvictoria6.bsky.social•35 days ago

….because CHINA licks Trumps a**and because he will give them what they want..Trumps a coward

danlia1.bsky.social•35 days ago

WELL ISN'T THIS THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF BULLSHIT FROM THE TIK TOK CEO. BIDEN SAID HE WAS NOT GOING TO ENFORCE THE BAN. WHICH MEANS THE CEO IS IN CAHOOTS WITH TRUMP AND AFTER THE INAUGURATION TRUMP WILL LIFT THE BAN AND HE WILL BE HAILED A HERO. THE TECH OLIGARCHY IS IN FULL CONTROL OF THIS COUNTRY. SAD
