As long as he has a valid policy rationale and focus … oh well

Donald Trump indicated that he favored allowing TikTok to keep operating in the US for at least a little while, saying he had received billions of views on the platform during his presidential campaign reut.rs/4gMER7o

Plus Trump got a payoff.

Comes down to how much Jeff Yass has spent on gifts for at least members of SCOTUS.

I don’t care what he thinks or does, do you?

bluefrommagioh.bsky.social•63 days ago

second helpings anyone?

profchildermass.bsky.social•63 days ago

Not to mention massive donations from the US-backed investor Jeff Yass.

Trump is owned by BRIC, which Musk and Theil and the others in SV align with due to fossil fuel hegemonies.

Of course. He liked his “numbers” so why have his customized SCOTUS judges order it to be sold or banished.

curious what GOP China hawks think.

they're idiots for trusting Trump but they did trust Trump so what now?

They don’t seem to care much about the Outbound Investment Provision being stripped from the CR. So they probably don’t care much about this, either.

I’m not sure they care much about anything, outside of what Trump and Elon tell them to care about.

It's half of a good reason!

(The other half being that Trump's critics also use TikTok and actual bottom-up media is happening there.)

A stupid motherfucker but sometimes his stupidity works out to be “fine whatever.”

What happens if Biden still goes through with the ban, I mean they would be in violation of the law from 12am 1/19/25 to at least 3pm 1/20/25 after the inauguration & sign an actual executive order. Would not Google, Apple & ISPs still be required to stop service for those 24 hours

AFAIK Trump is still required to follow laws after his inauguration.

So, he doesn't have to? I should've guessed.

mattfaustini.com•63 days ago

Yes and the law allows the president to determine, so Trump can revoke the Biden's administration's determination on TikTok on Day one, thus only a one day technical execution of the law

As always all about hin

Trump is misdirecting our attention. He waffled on TikTok because Sequoia Capital has major stakes in it, and the VC firm's General Partner Douglas Leone gave $3.8M to the toxic ideology of MAGA last year. #FollowTheMoney #DefundMAGA
