This is a ploy so they can shut it down on Sunday, blame it on Biden, then turn it back on in 1-2 days so Trump can play the hero and claim credit. It’s sad to see that the Chinese Communist Party is working with Trump so closely to deceive app users and the American people.

A sad result for the nation and the 🌎.
That’s a bold move cotton

1- Lots of people make good money on TikTok!
2- Is there a belief of national security concerns within the incoming administration about TikTok?
The two points together answer the question.
Too many have invested & will lose $ and influence if TikTok is closed.
Most of us if not all of us here are Twitter refugees. It wasn't bad at all to move on.
It’s not Xi or Putin .
And that’s a good thing in my eyes.
If it’s owned by good old Murdoch, who BTW married a Russian oligarch early last year, you can guarantee the information coming out of it is intentionally decisive and misleading.
I think Zuckerberg found out about geopolitical implications of his platform in 2018 and just how much he underestimated the threat of external forces.
That does not mean MAGAts will "see" what is obvious to us.
They're going to suffer just as much as us woke folks, and they're not going to like it.
On 12/07/2023, Trump told Hannity, “We love this guy.” He continues, “He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.’”
He knows the dangers but is willing to turn a cheek now that he claims TikTok got him elected.
It's not like China has our best interests at heart.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse said that if Americans were able to see the same intelligence report the Senate Intel Committee had seen, they would stay off of Tik Tok.
What changed?
tgaf about users, only the data they can harvest from them.
LITERALLY
"Fortunately TikTok will be forced to go dark"
That's all!
Problem is, there's genuinely a lot of them. It's a solid tactic, unfortunately.

There's a reason users are jumping ship anyway, and a reason why it's not IG reels or YouTube shorts.
They trust China more than they trust American billionaires.
And he wants no interference by another experienced Republican.
It’s obvious
Why else was he having talks with the Tik Tok CEO before the Supreme Court made their move?
The hostages Hamas took will be released as soon as he's president, too.
Just laugh at him as publicly as possible every time he calls this theatrics DAY 1 results.
Trump gets to look like he DEFEATED 🇨🇳 while bringing them to the inauguration. /X
And the demand HE PUT IN that TikTok have American ownership is going to /2

I don't think it's going dark....I think it will show (once again) how TFG gives two shits about law and order.
If shutting down Tik Tok is a matter of law..
How can Trump unilaterally overturn it?
SCOTUS?
I thought that they just re-affirmed an earlier ruling that the law was constitutional?
This time, rather than 52 of us, it's 330M Americans being held hostage to Republican greed.
Residence isn't futile.
Revolution is necessary.

It’s not ignorance man, it’s common sense. Digital privacy hasn’t existed since 2002. Effectively, their entire lives.
So if you think for one minute, it matters who they’re giving their data to willingly…. Think again.
It’s already there.
This shit is as predictable as a Hallmark movie at this point.
Trump saving TikTok through Elon purchasing the social media app is a double-edged sword, as David Pakman pointed out.
#fuckmeta
We gotta stop falling for this shit!
This started off as a gripe by Zuckerberg because TikTok pays its creators a better rate than FB or Insta. It's now backfiring because people are going to REDnote instead of META.
#FAFO
Bytedance has no preference for political party here.
This was a UNANIMOUS BIPARTISAN DEAL that made this BS happen.
The Chinese government will not allow the algorithm to be purchased
Period.
Dems have no clue how to deal with competition.

China can't prevent banning on a foreign country.
Isn't this simple enough or AI needs to explain it?
