"In the runup to the ban’s effective date, President Joe Biden’s administration signaled it would leave enforcement of the ban to Trump, who will be inaugurated on Monday. Despite that, TikTok has said it may “go dark” when the ban takes effect."
My bad. Good catch. Still the idea of 10 days and linking it to Tik tok dilemma was my theory, right or wrong. Going to be interesting none-the-less...
We are the communists here, using the government to help Facebook beat their main competitor, tiktok.
China can easily get all the info on US citizens it wants by buying it from Google, Facebook, or Apple. When did the US government care about spying before? This is not about spying concerns, it's anti capitalist behavior.
No. Tiktok is allowing the CCP a level of influence and subversion.of traditional American culture at an unprecedented level.
"We are the communists here" ... no. To even compare the US - in any way - to the murderous gangsters of the CCP is a false equivalency.
"China can easily get all the info on US citizens it wants by buying it from Google, Facebook, or Apple ...". They don't have to buy it, as the subversive traitors of these platforms have given it to them.
All of this must be rooted out, and will be. And when the full extent of the subversion by the Chinese Communist Party into the highest levels of government, media, and our institutions is revealed, American citizenry will be outraged.
We have been in a Silent war with these communists for decades. Communism is a cancer, and the enemy of humanity. It must be dealt with head on, and removed.
So you're agreeing that Google apple and Facebook give our data away, including to the CPP? So in what way is tik tok different? Is the data of American teenage girls dancing on camera somehow more dangerous to freedom than the data collected by Facebook apple and google?
Google, Facebook and Apple sell our data. All those companies serve the globalist totalitarian communist whatever-you-wanna-call-it agenda. Why not ban them all? Why not ban the selling of data? Because the US government and US corporations are buying up US citizen data as much or more than the CPP.
Why only ban tik tok? Because it's outcompeting the American data-harvesting companies. It's protecting Google, Facebook, and Apple from competition.
It's hard to believe the US government would be making any moves to genuinely "protect privacy" or to "limit the selling of data" while it leaves Facebook, Google and Apple running as usual...
There are clear distinctions to me when it comes to the origin and purpose of TikTok, and the nature of the CCP and communism in general. Nothing is done in service to others - there's always a subversive agenda.
And unlike the rise of our MAGA movement and president, and the founding documents that are our heritage, the Chinese people have no recourse. There are no elections, and there is no president in China. Using that term is an insult, and a con. There's a dictator appointed by the communist cadre. We're two different systems in opposition.
I support the ban. Looks like an option to divest is being offered by the president, with the 90-day extension. Let's see what happens
I must be missing something. What I've seen of Tik-Tok consists of cat videos, part one of stories that never get around to telling part two, ghost stories, and a lot of people preening for the camera like fools -- in short, absolutely nothing worthwhile spying about.
Do the Chinese really care that Americans lime to watch cute cat videos? And this requires a ban on Tik Tok?
Despite the recent barrage of Blue DNC-sponsored bullshit posts, TikTok is a home for uncensored commentary from real people, most of whom lean right. It's a treasure worth keeping. Reminds me of Reddit back in the day.
With phones being ubiquitous and permissions probably required to access the microphone and the camera, there's your spy network.
It probably would have been more appropriate to ban tik tok on all government devices and not allow any devices with it loaded on sensitive facilities.
The ruling also puts the spotlight on President-elect Donald Trump, who spoke with CNN’s Pamela Brown after the decision came down. “It ultimately goes up to me, so you’re going to see what I’m going to do,” Trump said.
my understanding of the matter is that government would require the app to be pulled from the app stores, but anyone already using it is unaffected, as well as android users who can install any app they download from anywhere. This seems like establishment blowing smoke to take up airtime and make it look they are doing serious things when really they're filling in a hole by digging another
its the DanceByte algorithm that makes TikTok so incredibly successful and the govt saying if they dont get rid of the DanceByte piece, then it doesnt follow their law or whatever they're saying TikTok violates. but any copy cats will not be the same if they dont have that algorithm. TikTok is amazing 100% specifically bc of the tech behind their algo. they dont just feed you what they want like fucking instagram and FB. it shows you waht is legitimately trending, no matter what the politics or conspiracy or anything. as a result, tons of info instagram and FB suppress makes it through on TikTok.
I'm hearing this also. I don't use it (I do have the app) but I'm told that TikTok has become a huge red-pill dispenser for the youth. If that's the case, they can't have have that. Whoever "they" might be. ;-)
It's true. Red pills were being dispensed on TikTok well before Twitter became X. And interestingly I just watched a Tiktok where the creator turned the logo upside down and asks if it looks like a certain lower case letter. And indeed it does.
Yes and killing tens of thousands in Gaza is really not something that should be hidden from the public. I hope the ban backfires and the red pills continue.
I recall 45~47 taked about banning Tic Tock. So it will be interesting to see if Trumpp will allow the ban to take effect.
I could care less. The only people up in arms about is leftist and people who paid to create content.
Everyone is focusing on the practical, so I'll point out a possible cultural reverberation this might have: there's a major subset of TikTok called BookTok and it's how many authors who aren't all that great have managed to get traction for their Write-By-Number romance/fantasy novels. The sales for these novels has been an unexpected net boon for the big box bookstores, because they aren't seeing those numbers from the traditional publishing houses that they have been catering to, outside of a few big name authors (think Grisham, Patterson, Kristen Hannah, Jack Carr, etc).
My point here is that a TikTok ban might also be a blowback for those bookstores as well. I'd be interested to see how they ride that out if this is the case.
how many people would love to own TikTok? And why don't we just make a BOOTLEG of TikTok like the Chinese, and call it TokTik ? Made in the USA
If TMTG buys TikTok, then I'll own TikTok. LOL
Interesting thought here:
"In the runup to the ban’s effective date, President Joe Biden’s administration signaled it would leave enforcement of the ban to Trump, who will be inaugurated on Monday. Despite that, TikTok has said it may “go dark” when the ban takes effect."
Will this be Q's "10 days of darkness"?
No
Well...uh...watch the water then...
😂
😆
😂
We have at least 3 annual 10-days of darkness. Kek
This is the 4th this month kek.
Q never said ten days of darkness. There s no "of".
An Anon did ask Q "the 10 days, darkness - when?"
Q replied "shut down".
So...
My bad. Good catch. Still the idea of 10 days and linking it to Tik tok dilemma was my theory, right or wrong. Going to be interesting none-the-less...
It is a very interesting theory!
Sell it to TMTG
We don't need to allow the Communist Chinese access. Free speech is for the citizens, not the info accumulators and abusers.

Just curious: are you an American citizen?
asking me? yea i am
Okay. I appreciate your perspective.

You care more about tiktok than china owned land in the US?
no

Tik tok is a red pill gold mine.

Were kids being red pilled on the # of deaths in Gaza on Tik Tok? I keep reading this is the real reason if so that’s disgusting.
I'm hearing this also. I don't use it (I do have the app) but I'm told that TikTok has become a huge red-pill dispenser for the youth. If that's the case, they can't have have that. Whoever "they" might be. ;-)
Can confirm it was a huge red pill. It also brought a lot of people back or felt closer to Christ. Lots of Bible discussions and testimony.
Reminds me of “no weapon forged against me shall prosper”. That’s great to hear!
It's true. Red pills were being dispensed on TikTok well before Twitter became X. And interestingly I just watched a Tiktok where the creator turned the logo upside down and asks if it looks like a certain lower case letter. And indeed it does.
Looks like a lower case P to me. What’s the idea behind the letter?
The guy was suggesting it looks like a lower case q
Ah! Yeah, I can see that as well if mirrored.
Yes and killing tens of thousands in Gaza is really not something that should be hidden from the public. I hope the ban backfires and the red pills continue.
Indeed. War is hell. And most have no clue what it actually looks like.
I’ve honestly had enough of the Supreme Court.
Let’s band face book
Okay, you sing, I'll play bass.
Full-bellied Kek!
I'll play the cowbell!!!
Why do we care more about tiktok than we do China owned US land.....m
