It was stupid anyway.

The entire concept is "shorts"....

As if Americans' attention spans don't suck enough as it is....

If it actually stays banned then something else will just pickup where they left off. There is way too much data to be mined and money to be made.

Dems handed him an easy win on this.

They are so bad at the game of politics that I seriously wonder sometimes if it isn't just intentional.

What is crazy is that this whole thing started with Trump. He signed an executive order to force Bytedance to divest, which Biden overturned. Then a Rubio, Gallagher, and Krishnamoorthi sponsored a bill which received broad bipartisan support and Biden signed into law. And now Trump wants to save it because it would benefit him politically.



If Biden had upheld and enacted "Trump's Ban", then Trump would be able to reverse it during his first month. This likely would give MORE credit to Trump and allow another arrow to be slung at Biden.

It really ended up being a lose lose for Biden so this route might be the path of lesser.
 
Just more proof that Trump will throw out any promise he has made to pick up popularity points. Hee spent most of the election demanding TikTok get banned warning that China was using us. Now suddenly China is his best friend.
Those crazy promises were to help him win. He won. It will be interesting to see which if any of the promises get more than token attention.

He'll make a big show about deporting 100K illegals. But what about the other 11.9 million? Just to pick one example.

For another example, he helped bring about the Gaza ceasefire. But does anyone really expect that to last? What will he do when it doesn't?

Would you make a bet that jihadists won't launch another attack on Israel? Of course you wouldn't.

You know what will happen. More U.S. taxpayer funded bombs for Israel.
 
YouTube?

Instagram?

Facebook?

On and on and on...

I guess you can't do silly, sped-up dance videos with anything except TikTok, but to me, that's a plus for this development.
"Only for teenagers to do their dances." Fuqing idiot.

I do not have it or use it and I pretty much hate it and what these things do to cause brain rot in our kids.

But I think the ban shouldn’t happen. Because we don’t know what on earth it will get replaced with and it most assuredly will be worse.

TikTok is the Devil we know and we should figure a way to keep our eye on China and what they are getting through it somehow.

It's fairly obvious this was never about national security

"If you don't think the Chinese Communist Party can twist that algorithm to make it the news that they see reflective of their views, then I don't think you appreciate the nature of the threat," Warner said.


If you don't think controlling narrative is a national security issue, I have an undersea gas pipeline to sell you.
 
I used to use it for the bewbs and booties but those creators always got their accounts deleted. So I just stopped using it a couple years ago.

Whatever happens with it gone and then back, I'm good.

Then why take years to ban it?
Why let it come back?

If it truly was as bad as they say, they would've shut it down instantly

I don't have a Trump University degree, so not a business genius, but wouldn't a 50/50 ownership be a bizarre split, particularly between 2 parties that don't have a working relationship. I would think you would want at a minimum a 51/49 stake.
