Breaking the law on day one (albeit with great consequences).
 
This seems to be the ACTUAL message you get if you try to access TikTok as of today:

The "Trump will save the day!" rhetoric is kind of wild.

The Biden administration have said it’s up to Trump to figure out and TikTok can do what they want until then.

TikTok are giving :LindaActing:
 
As one user put it: “I’d drop-ship my DNA to the front door of the Chinese Communist party before I watch an Instagram Reel.”

Enjoy your free speech xx
 
Ahh I just got into it! Although less American content is probably a good thing.

Only really from friends sharing actual funny ones into the chat groups. It seems if you want to join the mindless scrolling bandwagon (one way of killing time) you have to put quite a lot of effort into training the algorithm.
 
They’re going to fail in banning TikTok but succeed in turning the children into Nazis! Well don USA. :eyes:
 
I think Tiktok is the thing that makes me feel most like a boomer.
 
I quite like Tiktok. I've not been on it for a while, it's something I can go on for a bit then forget about. But it's very easy when I'm stressed or anxious to sit and scroll, which I know isn't a good thing.

But I have also discovered artists and people I now love through Tiktok. Sam Ryder for one! Matt Rife was someone I discovered on Tiktok and loved him, but through more Tiktok scrolling I quickly went off him.

But I do feel for young Americans who sadly have grown up with social media and become so reliant on platforms like Tiktok. I genuinely think for some of them, they feel their world is ending. And some of the comments I see in response to teens being genuinely upset, is really harsh.

I'd be devastated if Facebook closed, yes that may be sad, but I've grown up with it. So I understand the Tiktok thing.
 
Why is Trump intervening at this stage? He was the one who initiated the entire thing via Executive Order in 2020, requiring TikTok to divest from Chinese ownership or face a ban.
 
I think that’s before he realised he could wield it into a propaganda machine for the demographic he was previously unable to reach

He’s working on levels we can’t even comprehend!

Consistency and Trump are not bedfellows.

His outward claim, which may very well be the truth, is that it helped him win via the youth vote.
