This would amount to state controlled media. Can anyone tell me how thst is working out for Russia?

thepaulman.bsky.social•34 days ago

He wants TikTok to be state run media. Got it

wellbird.bsky.social•34 days ago

Is he talking about a state-owned share or ownership by United States of America, Inc., which belongs to Elon Musk?

Glad I found you here. I’ll miss you on tik tok

Felon 47 is always going to have a scam going. He's nothing but a criminal who has no right or business running this country.

samsquanch99.bsky.social•34 days ago

We already have a shittier TikTok clone. It’s called YouTube Shorts.

livingascloud.bsky.social•34 days ago

since they say tiktok has to be owned 50% the us, Shou should let the 170 million american users buy as many shares as they can afford but not people like trump musk or bezos.

clio.bsky.social•34 days ago

IT stank to high heave on a scam.

If Trump or his little rich buddy government touch it, I refuse to go back. This is ridiculous.

I Zuck, Benson or Musk own it I won't use it. I knew this whole thing was a scam.

nerdybee1.bsky.social•34 days ago

And this right here is why TikTok is dead to me. If it comes back, I will not trust it. The government should not own an app. And just because it is gone for us doesn’t mean it is gone. If people can decentralize themselves & stay off of it, even if he brings it back Maybe we can get somewhere

krad61.bsky.social•34 days ago

I knew it. Tik Tok will never be the same. That beautiful algorithm that mysteriously drew like-minded ppl together, no matter where they were from, will be changed. It's like clipping the wings of a flying bird. I'm so disheartened.

lordmickey.bsky.social•34 days ago

Money money money... I think the tik tok we knew is dead. I'll suffer and make long form content or something.

veganelle.bsky.social•34 days ago

Its obvious growing bias was feeling treacherous over the past few months. There’s no way I’m going back.

lordmickey.bsky.social•34 days ago

I think when it goes back online I'll be curious enough to see what they changed but I'll definitely shift elsewhere. Must be like the water and stay flexible

veganelle.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’ve e seen how dramatically it’s changed over the past 2 years. Clearly biased and banning creators for made up violations and losing them thousands of followers. It will it get better.

lordmickey.bsky.social•34 days ago

Honestly I like being able to see past tik tok right now and venture out. It's scary but I'm kind of excited for it. Plus I just like to resist anything having to do with dump and his cronies.

veganelle.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’m with you 💯!! I also want to support creation of new apps owned and operated by the users as a collective. It’s one of the only way to protect our rights it seems, in this current state of corruption.

tiadee1031.bsky.social•34 days ago

I'm wondering how much money influencers are going to lose by this....it's almost like people didn't matter in their games

lordmickey.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not much I've heard from a creator who was offered money by Meta that meta probably has some sort of share in it because the people who said Jack shit are getting paid off to continue to say nothing

halyanth.bsky.social•34 days ago

I was telling my BF that it doesn't matter all these offers to buy TT they wont approve it unless it is one of DT friend and he states that so in "which ever purchase we choose".

I'm so happy I found you again! But yeah. TikTok is gone forever. The thing that will pop up in a few days won't be TikTok.

By the king of scammers…#FTG

floridiangonerogue.bsky.social•34 days ago

If the true creators, the original content ones + consumers of it, don't go back then it's worth nothing. It's just like any other app, nothing special. As always, they consume because they CANNOT create. Let them pour gas on the bonfire, I already left the party b/c nobody wants to leave last. ✌️

klb83.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not a creator on TikTok just a commenter so it’s easier for me to decide no TikTok. Something’s rotten about this and most people will just be glad to get back on!

gottalottamoxie.bsky.social•34 days ago

I hate this simping broligarch brigade with every fiber of my being. I'm not going back to TikTok. Let it be a boy's club for grown-ass men whose daddies thought they were assholes. And Trump can shove it. I'm sick of setting myself on fire to keep billionaires warm.

iamyevette.bsky.social•34 days ago

I won’t be using TT for sure if that happens. I thought it would be difficult to not have TT, but the blackout last night showed me it’s not difficult at all. This was all staged and now TT seems to be (truly) compromised. 🙄

tyrlazuli.bsky.social•34 days ago

So lemon8 is dark too?!? What was the point of downloading it then? I thought it was the safe backup.

autumnschild.bsky.social•34 days ago

A lot of people thought the ban was just for TikTok when it was actually for the company. ByteDance also owns Lemon8 so when the ban was enacted, it went down too. CapCut too

tyrlazuli.bsky.social•34 days ago

Ahh. Well that’s lame. Thanks for the heads up.

awaloski.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not even that. Bytedance pulled them down before the ban just to make a point. The apps would have continued to work until they degraded under the ban.

autumnschild.bsky.social•34 days ago

I know they called it early, but I assumed it was the time difference. But even if the apps went down when we all expected, I don't think they would have continued working. I think we would have been forced off of them like we were last night

awaloski.bsky.social•34 days ago

That’s incorrect. The ban was for the app stores to prevent new downloads and updates. Bytedance themselves threatened to make the servers go dark for us if the US insisted on a sale. Then the US Govt said it was just a stunt - so they followed through.

veganelle.bsky.social•34 days ago

jwardin.bsky.social•34 days ago

We could use it until the deadline passes and before they integrate their oligarchic paws on the app, if they haven’t already.

goozclues.bsky.social•34 days ago

True, just build up the anti gov/Meta sentiment before they take it over. Honestly that sentiment is already there.

jwardin.bsky.social•34 days ago

The sentiment is there but if and when they screw with the algorithm, it’s over.

vieira4evr.bsky.social•30 days ago

cindibau.bsky.social•34 days ago

There was a reason, for the first time ever yesterday, Facebook was asking people to link their TikTok’s to fb. (Sadly, I have to stay on FB because of my job ).

itsluvia.bsky.social•34 days ago

It won't be the TikTok we knew. I'd rather not have it at all.

shrewingofthetame.bsky.social•34 days ago

In hindsight, this was the ultimate goal. I hate to agree with a different billionaire, but I think Mark Cuban is right - a TikTok 2.0 should be built on this platform.

sheshedstudios.bsky.social•34 days ago

I heard that was skylight?

leighlazarus.bsky.social•34 days ago

Oh it's already gone to Meta. It's all done but the signing.

fluffynuts.bsky.social•34 days ago

This fucking tool…! Hahahah! Pretty sure he means that he wants the “US” to have a 50% ownership by folding it into his existing media company. And it’ll be “okay” because even though his name is on it, he’ll put it into a “blind trust” that his sons manage. Called that play from day 1.

k-luh.bsky.social•34 days ago

As soon as I saw that Shou would be attending the inauguration I knew TikTok was over. My best guess is that Meta acquire it.

ajmetz76.bsky.social•34 days ago

kittykittymewmew.bsky.social•34 days ago

Only 50% while not 51% or 100% is quite telling. This essentially means no foreign entity could ever own TikTok. The brand name is for sale but not the company.

aaronwhy.bsky.social•34 days ago

Fuck this guy, and fuck TikTok. Let it be dead.

lovelyliverdoodle.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yep, I will stop using it the second they announce they’ve sold 50% to Meta. I’m not playing with these oligarchs.

So sad!! Left Iran 25 years ago and internet was banned then now I’m in America and same thing. They always start by banning stuff then…. Scary stuff starts

calinikki41.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’m sorry you have to experience this twice.

Also, no way he wrote this. Either he had a grown-up help him write it or his roommate wrote this for him.

And even still, my 11 year old pointed out a word that was misspelled.

I wholeheartedly believe musk has had control over drumpts account since election night to keep his big mouth from telling on everyone through gloating.

emmersfishing.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not a surprise but no less infuriating.

nansgarden.bsky.social•34 days ago

Such the hero fixing problems he created 🙄

madmanspeaks.bsky.social•34 days ago

I fully deleted my TikTok account last night before they shut it down with the idea that I'd have 30 days to reactivate it if they didn't fuck it up.
Looks like I'm just gonna leave it deleted.

laurentchurch.bsky.social•34 days ago

Guess I'm staying here and on tumblr now

thehippieviking.bsky.social•34 days ago

I refuse to use the new state run media.

papayabug24.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yep, quit FB and IG and not touching TT if those clowns bring it back. Not worth it.

lindyhot.bsky.social•34 days ago

It's all about making money for himself and his tech billionaires

yougotjinxed2024.bsky.social•34 days ago

I've already announced on Bluesky that I'm not going back because it's obvious they will have him or Elon or Mark with partial ownership. They can all suck a d!ck. I'm still partial to my IG only because my daughter likes her IG. I'll be on YT as well...may start a whole new channel.

the-dude00.bsky.social•34 days ago

Maybe you could have Trump media own half, and let them have access to the data you were worried the Chinese would get! Because we all know Trump is a stand up guy! He would not sell the data! He would not use it to spread propaganda.

laurenrocker93.bsky.social•34 days ago

I won't go back. I will continue to use REDnote. It's much kinder over there.

thedivinemsl.bsky.social•34 days ago

If Trump trash brings TikTok back, it will be censored more than ever. #fucktrump

tori2025.bsky.social•34 days ago

Exactly - the US government is doing what it always does, take what they what - then Christopher Columbus TT

foster98.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yea, I'm deleting my account and the app. I don't want anything to do with it anymore. Our government sucks ass!!!

carlow1.bsky.social•34 days ago

Already deleted the app. They won’t be collecting my data while they kick me out. And I want nothing to do with a suckzuck platform. Also, Clapper is no longer available 🤔

lyndakg20.bsky.social•34 days ago

What happened to Clapper?

carlow1.bsky.social•34 days ago

I went to open it and it just said it was unavailable. 🤷‍♀️

lyndakg20.bsky.social•34 days ago

Neptune? It’s not available to the public yet. You need to sign up to be part of the beta testing, if spots are still available. The founders introduced it on TT and ppl were signing up for beta testing via a link they had there, but maybe you could search for their website and try to sign up there?

watchthequiteones.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yes, government controlled media is so American and Democratic right?

pinkberryga.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yup, just as i said before 😒

sugahbear59.bsky.social•34 days ago

Blue sky is now home base y'all

just-emily.bsky.social•34 days ago

Nope. Too late. FAFO. We're LONG GONE, Little Donnie Two-scoops! Bye!

bludotintx.bsky.social•34 days ago

There it is! Everything about this ban is a scheme. Top to bottom, no part of this was genuine.

sammieannie84.bsky.social•34 days ago

I was just talking about that earlier. I’ll be so mad if either of them get their grubby little hands on it and I won’t be using it no more.

jakeleonardjrn.bsky.social•34 days ago

Read between the lines: HE'S NOT BUYING THE STAKE IN TIKTOK. Six American-based investor groups are bidding between $12 billion and $20 billion for the full stake (and without the algo).

jakeleonardjrn.bsky.social•34 days ago

Two of those investor groups, one led by "Mr. Wonderful" Kevin O'Leary and another led by Jimmy "Mr. Beast" Donaldson have a structure where you and I can buy a stake in the platform.

O'Leary wanted like $100 for what would be about 300 shares. The rumor for Donaldson was $50 for 200 shares.

arcadestar-kendra.bsky.social•34 days ago

Anyone that politically disagrees with Donald Trump that bought something on the tiktok shop should probably delete your account. I would be concerned if my political fyp trends and address were all collected in one place.
