TikTok is back after Trump says he'll sign executive order after his inauguration on Monday to give TikTok’s parent company more time to find an approved buyer before being subject to a permanent ban.

🤣

Social communication should not go up and down at the whim of a political comment.

the list of executive orders is getting pretty long haha

Unfortunately it’s currently a Technocracy and Users are the victim.

Five years ago Trump said Tik Tok was the greatest threat to our children. He’s only worried about his popularity AND he and all his data harvesting buddies know that their companies are equally dangerous and should also not exist.

People easily forget and prefer invention of possible solutions.

Agreed.

He just wants all the credit and attention. He's a joke. But yeah this whole tiktok this is ridiculous just ban it if you are going to already.

Sad thing is we are seeing the end product I.E the general population "suffer" i wouldn't be surprised maybe another company buys them with deep ties to China lol or we set up a program to copy data they get or some kind of check point ? Lol all futuristic with the digital data checkpoint before enter us or leaving...idk gonna be a crazy 25

Like never.

Crazy thought, hear me out:

Trump’s meme coin was a way to raise quick cash so he can put together a group of investors and make a deal to buy TikTok. The meme coin was never about long term investment.

He sees an opportunity to “save the day” and own something that is a cash cow in a wildly popular, widely use social media app.

Just a crazy thought.

Trump wanted TikTok banned 5 years ago. He's the one that started this all. There's no need to attempt to make sense of it with mental gymnastics. He's a scammer. It's that simple.

This is false

It is false that Trump is a scammer

Of course I knew about the EOs

Is your memory really that short?

“Trump is a scammer”

This is false. Sorry but it’s true

It’s wild how much people will conflate reality rather than deal with the simple truth.

It seems to me that they all are [scammers]. Regardless of what side they are on. It’s just their motivation that are different.

Nah, this is next level. I can see why someone would want to distance themselves from that reality though.

Agreed. 🤙

The strategy of giving TikTok more time seems to be with the idea that Uncle Elon or “someone” buys the company to better control “freedom and security.”

Don’t you think?

Yes. That is what I'm thinking too. One of Trump's cronies will attempt to buy it, bringing the platform into the fold of state media.

Based

I see nothing here about divestment; TikTok won't do that, as they've stated multiple times. Nothing short of an enforced ban will push them towards a sale. Rather, Trump is going to try and use this as some kind of leverage, possibly with the CCP. This is what it always comes down to with him, and I can't see much gain coming from any of this. Best just to take it out behind the shed right now.
