Yes we need teenagers that lost their regular formative years to a pandemic to up their political engagement instead of trying to do silly dances and memes
Much like their constant being a drain on their parents because "the older generation are economically and politically fucking them over"
Don't they understand? The Democratic voting middle class explained that Palestinians don't matter?
Why aren't they checking stocks or asking their parents about the economic improvement %? (annual of course, not term) They're just like those uppity youthss of the past whinging about civil rights!
God I was just saying earlier today how I was going to try not to rant but these tone deaf "It's the public or whatever demographic I've been told lost things for us" electoral shit is so obnoxious when the agreed WORST PERSON is able to at least POINT to the moral thing even though its a lie!
For what I saw, no one in TikTok is praising Trump other than the usuals, on the contrary, everyone is trying to find what trickey they did to TikTok because everyone is suspicious of what Trump is doing
Yeah I'm not using tick tock I'm using blue sky and that's it ,I've got rid of everything I can get rid of. I don't want toxic ignorant people in my phone ,cuz I don't have them in my life!
Interesting image, I assume you are a man. Most women, especially young women are democrats and aware of the manipulation of men. The trump supporters who would likely say what u wrote are incel men.
As an elder TikTok user who engages with young folk like the one depicted, trust me when I say NO ONE is hailing Trump as a hero. Everyone but MAGA has left TT after this PR stunt.
Actually he started to try to get it banned the last time he was in office. Conservatives kept it on the burners till now to use it to make people like him.
They’ll probably say, “He ate that one little thing.” It won’t make them switch parties, but I guarantee it will lead to more normalization of him which will lead to whitewashing of his actions.
unfortunately many of the young people who have joined back on TikTok are all either MAGA or just sadly uninformed/misinformed about what’s actually happening. They don’t understand the severity of our situation
People who regularly use TikTok are far more likely to have been kept abreast of what's going on with TikTok than the rest of us. The most clueless takes on this that I've seen have been from spiteful Gen Xers on Facebook.
Yes, the folks I interact with over there are incredibly informed and educated. I have learned so much from educators, lawyers, historians, and scientists I follow.
And that is the thing about all social media. The algorithm brings you videos and creators that align with your worldview. I think younger people understand that better than most.
How much time do you spend on TikTok? It’s an international user base, so it seems a bit silly to assume most posters there are besotted by the American right wing, no?
Because of middle twirling thumbs in voting trying to blame both sides instead of looking at the big picture of “not voting for fascist dictators” AT ALL.
You sound like a boomer that is completely misreading the situation over on TikTok, but what should I expect on a Twitter clone that has mostly washed out Millenials and Gen Xers on it.
Except complain on a platform where everyone agrees. I say we post the truth to x and truth social. Don’t engage with anyone on those platforms and just post post post. But never respond to anyone on those posts
deceiving the public is his game and the result is always-he is so great-even when we know he started this in the first place and deserves no gratitude-he is why so many of us are unnecessarily stressed and full of anxiety-when can he really step up and truly care about this country...
They want you stressed and afraid. Like the shock and awe that’s coming? Like, the American citizens are not the enemy. That term is usually used for such….
Yes, it’s quite amazing that for a long time now Trump wanted to ban TikTok. Now Trump has reinstated the platform he is the saviour and a hero! What a man!
I am not going back, it is shameful what TT did and will not kiss the ring or be thankful for anything that racist convicted felon does “for the people”.
He said the Leon is very good with computers 'especially' the ones used in vote counting in Pennsylvania, which he says helped a lot and they won PA by a landslide.
While it's not a straight confession, it's on the pile of red flags nobody in the Us gov can do anything about
So what deal did he make with China? Also if they can do this why aren't pedos being banned rapidly IP and all... All about keeping people oblivious and deflection
He claims we must take back the Panama Canal because of China but he gets his crap merch, invites Chinese billionaires to his inauguration and has the Bank of China in trump Tower.
The only reason there was a switch in position is that a mega-donor to DJT has many $M invested in Byte Dance and he is getting what he has paid for. The Grifter-In-Chief delivers on CASH ONLY.
Me too. That, and banning gun sales to registered Democrats. And marching troops into Google. Really, the sky's the limit when there are no checks and balances. It's so over. And Canada will be annexed. Doug Ford is salivating at the thought of Musk getting him the top job here. We're done for.
There is a way of saving TikTok AND cutting the PRC exploitation of this platform for purposes of INFLUENCE and DATA COLLECTION. Maybe that is what Trump has in mind. Moving to a new PRC platform is sheer ignorance.
https://youtu.be/v2QGME8KHzY these are military veterans that were previously right wing btw. If you can’t dig into any of these how are you ever going to find truth in what you digest or consume from media.
Isn’t that the Constantine “Christogram" insignia? The first two letter, Xi Rho, are the first two letters in Christ’s name. This insignia is way before Putin, and is common is the Christian churches.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=MsFMmLPyOIQ this all the way people. These people i listen to are “military veterans” btw so literally no excuse now to be icky human beings.
Again, mainstream propaganda as to what they “expect” Trump to do … let’s see what actually happens as opposed to trashing someone for something that has yet to be done.
Oh … it was the Democratic party that was behind “Jim Crow” … again, propagating the propaganda of mainstream media. I truly feel sorry for those who are unable to think for themselves.
No it wasn’t read what lobbyists signed these new laws you idiot the parties completely switched haven’t you heard of “the great switch” it’s been taught in all the schools in the US
That whole thing with TikTok was next level child psychology, abuser/abusee 💩. Please be aware that now there’s an actual Facebook account on TikTok, and if you still use TikTok be sure to block FB it as it links to Meta. 😳
People are making money using TikTok. Concern about personal data? Then use a burner phone and a fake Google account and stop putting your personal info and financial information on your phone stupid. Wait, our government and the banks don’t want that either. 😂😂😂😂😂
Got them a ton of users downloading the app just to check if it's working, if 10% stick around it's probably more new users than they're losing from democratic protest.
This is very true... But Biden going along with was such an epic fail politically it's hard to understand how stupid could you be to go along with the republican decoys to show you're "also a bit republican". People forget they don't have any values to begin with.
What's funniest to me is they draw their smelly, leaky-Depends, Orange Splooge-Smear in Chief as somehow suave. assured, smug, and more better looking than some actually cute, charming, supposed 20-something Tiktok user that they all lust after and want to chain in their kitchens.
I loved tiktok. If Meta is the server and controls tiktok, I will have leave. It's such a bummer. I loved twitter and then Elon turned it into a mountain of Hate/shi#. They just ruin everything. We can't have nice things because of the Billionaires, millionaires, insurance companies and corporations
Exactly. And even after he is sworn in, he can't override a federal statute. Let's see if the GOP House and Senate decide to go back on the legislative initiative. SCOTUS upheld the federal ban.
This should be a no huge red flag to ppl on tik tok. If Trump is "saving" it then you should definitely get off it. It's like the scene in GOT where their like "cirsei isn't here, we should leave"
Pretty sure that the response of users of the app was largely seeing how transparent the propaganda attempt was. The only people on TikTok calling Trump a "savior" for "bringing it back" are TikTok themselves, who willingly went dark for a few hours and came back on their own volition.
While some young TikTok users are happy most are saying that it’s sus AF and they are looking to leave the platform. The alleged ties META have prompted the immediate erasure of the app. That’s what did, I refuse to own META products.
Same. Deleted the app Saturday night once the messages of it being unavailable started popping up. I knew if it did come back it wasn’t going to feel right. Then deleted FB and FB messenger too.
Fb , insta, and tictok all left my phone. The momment tictok went black, and it will not be back on my phone. We need to prove a point that they do not get to control all our media.
Unfortunately, most are not going that direction. Most are just happy to have the app back regardless of who gave it back. And that sucks because that means the message falls short. I hope more catch on. Doubt it, though.
Of course he's going to go against a bipartisan law. Even when the SCOTUS said it didn't infringe rights. He's a 34x convicted fellon, that's what 34x convicted fellons do.
Has anyone noticed TikTok is back up but the App isn’t available in Apple’s App Store. But there’s an ad for Crypto. Could this be the start of state run media? 🤨🤔
The worst part about this whole thing is he didn’t actually save it because if you deleted it from your phone, you can’t get it back. so what exactly was saved?
I don't actually use tiktok, but here's how I see the ban: it's 5% "security concerns", 25% special interest from USA competitors, and 70% because the USA and Chinese government don't trust and hate each other 😂
It was transferred through courts and displayed by the app itself that it got passed down to Texas since 2021 and also before then the ceo is Singaporean not Chinese.
Oh interesting...but having a Singaporean CEO doesn't really matter I think if the company itself was still HQed within Chinese borders and follows Chinese laws. But are you saying that technically tiktok didn't even belong to ByteDance anymore and didn't have access to tiktok's data?
Not currently as it moved to Texas which is when the app started getting flooded with right wing propagandists I been on the app since it was even musically so believe me I kept tabs discovering the court sessions and what ended up happening.
And it’s not “western” they’re against it’s the whole south east part as that stuff never happened until it was bought out by corporate Texas i kept tabs until that happened and was like nah fuck Texas. Texas is completely horse shit!
Doubtful considering that the younger segment of the libleft watched so much tiktok on the lead-up to the election that bad actors were able to use it to convince them to stay home.
That sounds pretty anecdotal. It seems pretty understood by anyone left leaning that Trump didn’t save TikTok considering the discourse on BluSky. I’d also say it was the genocide that made a number of voters stay home.
My daughter uses the app and they know he was the first one to ban it. It was being shared on TikTok before it went out and though she’s in her 20s she knows what the game is with the wanna be dictator.
Good and I hope more are like that we need to vote out dictators and elect people like Nancy pelosi because she didn’t need much votes to beat Hitler jr
It already is. The CCP sits on the board of the parent company, ByteDance, and 1% "golden share" that can outvote all shareholders. The single largest shareholder is a Maga from Ohio.
I didn’t know thanks. Never used TikTok or X. Just deleted my Instagram and going to deactivate my Facebook later. I have this forum and and joined Substack.
Tbf tik tok is the most left leaning social media platform. Meta and Twitter tend to push more right-wing and conservative content. It is also the most popular platform rn, so all the business want a bite of the pie, claiming that they are "protecting" us.
Say that to the verified news sources, sitting senators, and qualified press secretary stating facts and opinions. As well as people who are smart enough to recognize patterns. I'm more worried about fascism than the ccp rn. One is much closer to home.
X and Facebook are the face of US social media regulation for at least the next four years: scrambling to comply in advance so there'll be no regulation.
It's what companies did in 1930s Germany as well. History doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme. Same thing also happened in Russia and China for that matter.
Lol I mean, keep repeating propaganda, but you're proving my point. On the ground journalism from Gaza makes it easy to see that people like you are lying. TT was providing Gazans a way to disprove propaganda about them, and that is why pro-genocide lawmakers want TT under government censorship.
Hahahaha. Funny, all these Reich Wing monsters only want and respect sons always, so I don't know why they are working against that just to make a cheap trans joke.
Nah he doesn’t think so I doubt he planned this. I think originally he didn’t like it cuz it was a "ChInA" app but after some money from the ceo and seeing a few tic toks of his followers glazing him, he decided it could stick around :/
He doesn't play this kind of chess. He just saw that there were some easy points to score and decided he didn't care so much about the app anymore, so he took the points home.
Trump pushed for the ban cause the youth used to make fun of him then he convinced the democrates to support the ban now he’s lifting the ban so he profit from it and control Rick tick and make himself look like hero in the process
YouTube shorts are shit, with an awful algorithm. It would require losing subscribed channels in immense cluttering, making my subscribed page impossible to see when new videos are out. And oh yeah, it’s a woefully prudish site.
It’s great for subscribing to a channel to watch, awful at shorts.

Go outside and touch grass
I remember when he was against cryptos as well.
It shows how dishonest some liberals really are. And don't for a second think people outside blueMAGA doesn't see through this.
Please tell me and don't give a link to a video of him, I don't wanna listen to his annoying voice or look at his prolapsed anus lips.
While it's not a straight confession, it's on the pile of red flags nobody in the Us gov can do anything about
Perhaps you should grow up a bit.
#ettd
He will then say the CCP made him close it down.
Oh, Congress will praise him and SCOTUS will say nothing.
gave Trump the middle finger!!
Ban TikTok. Loses shit.
And no wonder it was rather effective.

More difficult to shut down a US company but regulation is possible.
It's not about CCP anything. It's about USA censorship.
Foreign social media is harder for the US government bodies to spy on and suppress and manipulate.
Trump either uphold the ban or do what Biden did first, refuse to sign.

its all a play, got to fuck with the people and what not
Created an issue he can control..
