…More explicitly than after the first ban
It’s like people forgot about that.
Don’t worry.
The Dems are just about to write a sternly-worded letter.
Voters made sure they can’t do anything else.
Dems made sure they can’t do anything else.
Schmuck Schumer is hard at work, editing his last one, so we don’t think it’s the same one.
Jokes on him, nobody is paying any attention to him anyway. He could give the same speech every time, and nobody would even notice.
What a loser. If we aren’t going to kick him out, just ignore him, and let him get back to his insider trading. That’s his only priority anyway. He might as well be a MAGA.
Yep.

*An official letter, signed by at least three colleagues.
If we’re lucky they’ll do something that speaks to the youth, like doing Tiktok dances in protest
One can only hope, friend.
And they will even threaten to wag their fingers!
Chat GPT, I need a sternly worded letter please.
Oh words many sternly worded words in a letter.
I don’t mean a letter with words on it, I mean I want to tell a group of people things so I want to write those ideas down on paper in a sternly way…
No I’m not angry! You know what? I’m just gonna do this by myself!
Ooh! Who gets to be Goebbels?
Not the guy with the hole in his neck.
Wait what if I got a time machine
Either Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones, whoever doesn’t get shot
US media fell for it again award. This is how Trump always negotiates he announces a “deal” that’s actually just his initial offer and then calls up whoever it is and begs them to play along and not embarrass him because he already announced it, which works on NYC construction contractors but Xi doesn’t give a shit.
Like the backpedaling of Trump’s T1 phone to initially be claimed as “Made in America” until being publicly called out, not only by inquisitive people but also by a company furthest along in producing a fully “Made in USA” phone. The T1 phone marketing has been relegated to featuring a “proudly American” design.
Kind of sad that you have to root for a fascist dictator prick to keep the fascist wannabe dictator prick in check.
Well, we root for the more rational and predictable dictator.
Asked about final control of the app’s algorithm — a central question in the legality of any deal — he said that was “being worked out” and that American investors are “going to have control over it.
I wonder if they’ll actually sell the code source… that would be surprising. The best they’ll get may be just a compiled version they can’t do anything with.
Thanks for posting that. I was looking for confirmation or debunk and this adds some clarity.
It will be a shadow of his former self being run by these hacks. There are two greedy and short-sighted to run a growing platform.
Don’t underestimate the stupidity and calcification of tiktok users, they’ll just stick around having never heard of the sale. They won’t even question why their feed is now a nonstop loop of Kirk clips.
Yes and no. The people that were driving content on there we’ll leave the site, it will be like a dead Internet site, half wits interacting with Bots and AI. The people that drove interaction on that site, say by criticizing Israel’s bullshit, will leave, which was half the reason they attacked the site in the first place. God forbid Americans disagree with their leaders about Israel just because those leaders are on video fucking underage children that Israel has in their possession.
They literally started attacking TikTok because TikTokers are too “woke” (aka anti-genocide).
The real dummies are the people who join fascists in attacking them with garbage stereotypes, etc.
TikTok has been faithfully pushing US propaganda for years. Mintpress News put out an article on it. Control of the US servers was handed over to Oracle, who let the State Dept have full control of what to censor.
This is your reminder that tiktok has always been brain rot and you need to delete your account and app.
The fact it was bought by Nazi’s to spread their propaganda is just one more reason for people to delete the app and give them the least amount of views possible.
I would love to start a petition to ban tiktok in states once they turn it into GestapoTok. I mean the right is all about states rights right?
Yeah but uncensored brainrot is still better than propaganda brainrot.
One of the reasons tiktok became so popular is that it didn’t go around banning entire swaths of content under the guise of “healthy content” like Facebook (Insta), X, and Reddit do.
This isn’t even a Trump issue specifically, Biden wanted TIkTok to do the same. Either follow policy demands or sell to an American owner.
It’s always been propaganda brainrot. The CCP was just more subtle about it by suppressing content that was critical of them, suppressing content by “ugly” people, and quietly siphoning all of your data.
And no, that’s not en endorsement of any alternative. They’ll all bad. That just all have different bias.
Half the reason it was banned was because they would not put the fix in against Israel criticism. For some reason the video footage of our lawmakers having sex with underage kids has led them to have an Israel first policy.
In what fantasyland is Tiktok uncensored? Tiktok is the whole reason we get screenshots where words like sex, kill, dead, gun, assault, rape, and every swear word imaginable are censored. Tiktok is the reason for euphemisms like “seggs” (sex) and “grape” (rape). There was a time when food content struggled on Tiktok because you’d get shadow banned for having a knife in your video.
those concepts arent the ones americans at-large are being blinded to, nor the ones the establishment american government is worried about
That’s irrelevant. The claim was that Tiktok is uncensored, not that it didn’t censor the things “Americans at large are being blinded to”. If they’ll censor one thing, they’ll censor anything, as we’ve already seen with pro-Palestine content.
not talking about palestine, that is just a(n ever more obvious) distraction from problems closer to home
I don’t care what you’re talking about, your point is nonsense. Tiktok is censored. If they censor one thing, nothing is off the table.
TikTok US to be rebranded as LikKok
Damn you … I shot coffee out my nose with that. 😂
Burn baby burn!
Comes in flavours, likkok orange, and likkok red.
How does this work for countries outside of the US? Will Canadian and European TikTok get the propaganda too or will the US version be self contained?
The US… Self contained…
I read that US users will have to download a whole new app so I’m guessing anyone outside the US that keeps the current one won’t be affected.
So like the tiktok China has. It’s like we are running full speed trying to become NK
Shout-out to every dumbass that thought just because that bill to give the president to unilaterally designate companies as foreign companies national security threats and ban them was being passed during a democratic party Presidency, that meant the ACLU and EFF were wrong and this was actually a good thing. The most popular easily abusable legislation of the past ten years.
Don’t support government powers that you wouldn’t want your opposition to possess. They will be in power someday, bet on that no matter what. Especially stupid stupid after 2020 Portland federal law enforcement disappearing people it should have been clear that the powers of the executive should have been limited before it was going to inevitably be in the power of opposition again but nope, Tiktok bad because China makes us feel insecure.
Stupid bill and stupid people that were, I know ACLU and EFF are against it but TikTok needs to be banned, dumbasses - a bill can be written that targets a single company rather than a blanket power to block out any company from that selection of countries. Of course now that it is law, a willing congress - an inevitability - can remove the country specifics or add any and for some reason dumbasses after 2020 were like - it won’t be abused
And the reason the Democrats and Republicans wanted to kill Tick Tock was Israel. Because we have an Israel first policy just because they have video footage of our lawmakers having sex with kids and their business Pals as well.
I can’t wait to see zoomers burn down the Whitehouse
What? I’m not sure how it is in the US but in many countries zoomers (men) are very right wing. These are the guys that watch rogan and Andrew Tate.
Converted, huh. It’s not already there?
It was already a propaganda mill. Now it will be for the Nazis instead of China.
It will actually be for both! Emphasis on the part of the article where it says China will still have a stake of 20% in the company, AND they get to keep the algorithm.
All the US is doing is buying up physical assets and infrastructure, and the user base. The juicy bits they wanted, they didn’t get. Everyone is likely going to jump off of TikTok the moment it comes time to segment the US market from the Rest of the World. China doesn’t have to do a thing because Douyin is already maintained separately for the Chinese market.
China doesn’t have to do a thing because Douyin is already maintained separately for the Chinese market.
Nobody really wanted to grapple with the reality. They just saw “Chinese investors mean Communist propaganda means Americans most be protected from the thing”. Then Cold War brainrot kicked in and that was that.
A country that fumbles this hard doesn’t deserve to exist.

It’s the same kind of people who think Socialism means Communism, without realizing that anything funded by taxpayers is already, technically, a socialized knowledge/service/product. That includes the roads their vehicles drive on and the military if you want to put it that far.
One might incorporate principles of the other, but that doesn’t make it the other product automatically.
In the meantime, the Poopaganda machine will continue running with the kind of ignorance being shown.
“Socialism is when the government does things” is dumber than thinking socialism and communism are the same thing.
The thing that will kill this is forcing users to migrate to a new app. Removing the largest friction barrier that prevents people from leaving your app by forcing them to cross it is a great way to scatter the TikTok userbase to the four winds.
I hope this kills TikTok, and that the people who enjoyed using it remember who was responsible for it.
Now it will be overt instead of a vague conspiracy.
Let’s be real. They’re all working together.
Now it will be for the US fascists instead of chinese fascists, Nazis were german.
Oh it’s been working for GovCo and Israel since it came back from the 1 day ban and Chou started licking Chumps ass. The change was immediate and noticeable.
Yup every top comment on TikTok now is almost always the most divisive shit. I assume they’re doing the equivalent of reddits “sort by controversial”. It changed as soon as it came back.
Of course it was about Israel
Trump insiders claim
Suuuuuuure. I’ll believe it when I…actually probably never.
Gonna be sold to Oracle. Which means sold to the CIA.
