Wow, this is unfolding WAY faster than I thought it would
LOL
If they nationalize it, even partially, they’re not gonna be able claim any loopholes on government censorship by letting third party platforms do the dirty work.
I’d love to see TiXToX
So if I’m following this correctly. The US government gave TikTok a year to sell their US operations, they did not and were blocked. Trump came in and gave them a 3 month grace period, to allow them the opportunity to sell their US operations again…
Why does he expect this is going to go differently? TikTok already showed they would rather go dark than sell.
“Tiktok is a tool for Chinese propaganda, but we’d prefer if it were a tool for American propaganda instead.”
Remember, Zucc was a big sponsor of the TikTok ban!
The fact that they only targeted Tiktok already shows their motives. They claim that Tiktok is a powerful tool for data collection and propaganda. They claim that’s too dangerous to leave in the hands of China.
However, all the other social media companies (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc) are all equally as powerful. There’s only one difference between them: who controls the propaganda.
Oh so they do wanna kill TikTok.
We all saw this coming from a mile off.
Why would China want to sell the lucrative secret TikTok algorithm to the US government?
It’s a Good Thing we don’t have People who can MASSIVELY PROFIT OFF THIS making Decisions in Government!
All of this because some dude in the country with more guns per capita in the world, can’t shoot for shit.
And because almost 400 million other people didn’t even try.
I remember when President Obama suggested investing in Solyndra in order to save it and stop China from overtaking the energy market and Republican blew their lid but I guess they’ll be ok with wasting billions nationalizing a terrible social media app linked to multiple deaths of kids.
past political motives and descisions are dead, now is the Trump era.
