The appearances now is Trump accomplishes ceasefire in Gaza and saves Tik Tok.

TikTok Officially Banned in the USA Thread

Trump has done so many corrupt things last 48 hours no one has said anything. Republicans are pathetic ( we already knew this)
his question could be aimed at the people of this thread as well frankly
you all seem to be ignoring the elephant in the room
We've said time and time again trump is a shameless and corrupt, dems should have the political instincts and tact the realize that after 10 years

Fast Money & Foreign Objects
that isn't at issue here
The political instincts to do what? Say what you actual want, support, and why.
Trump wanted to ban Tiktok and the Republican supreme court signed off on it.
stop blaming Democrats for the actions of Republicans
Trump is an amoral, transactional and corrupt individual. Nothing he says or does surprises me ever.
My question is why did Dems go along with the ban?

supreme court you can read
as far as house/senate: security risks, China's hostility to it's neighbors, and repeatedly lying to congress didn't help

Democrats come around on TikTok ban, reflecting willingness to challenge China
The growing number of Democrats backing a ban on the massively popular video app reflects an increased willingness to confront Beijing, experts say.
www.cbsnews.com
Unlike most social media platforms, TikTok poses a unique concern because Chinese law obligates ByteDance, its Beijing-based parent company, to 'support, assist, and cooperate with state intelligence work,'" Bennet, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, wrote in a letter to the tech giants' CEOs. Days after Bennet's letter, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told ABC's "This Week" that a TikTok ban "should be looked at."
Keith Krach, a former undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy and the environment in the Trump administration, said members of both parties have long backed taking action against Chinese technology, even if Republicans have been more outspoken in the past.
"I had a lot of closed-door sessions with Congress," Krach said. "And honest to God, I could not tell the difference between a Democrat and a Republican when it comes to the China issue, particularly when it comes to technology."
Rising tensions with China over a range of geopolitical hot-button issues — including China's saber-rattling over Taiwan, potential support for Russia in Ukraine and the spy balloon — "galvanized bipartisan focus on this national security issue," said Len Khodorkovsky, a former State Department official under Trump.

I get why they banned it in the sense of national security, if it actually posed a threat, but to fukking ban it in a goddamn election year. They are currently trying to say "well trump wanted it first" now, whose name is in ink, holy shyt they are dumb

Not only was Tiktok extremely popular for people to spread information on issues like the Gaza genocide, it was also used to help people grow and promote their small businesses. Now you're gonna have people all over the app going, "fukk you Biden you almost ruined my livelihood," and, "fukk you Democrats you handed Trump the easiest win ever." Plus the Tiktok CEO is dikkriding Trump and portraying him as a hero, which will likely lead to yet another popular social media app becoming full of right-wing propaganda, just like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and even YouTube. I opened the app earlier and the first video I saw was a pro-Trump vid, even though my FYP has been curated for months to only show left-leaning content.

People don’t care about this shyt though. At the end of the day all they care about is their own bank account and one or two social issues.

Apparently you cannot say/post, “Free Palestine,” on Tik Tok anymore. The application that aided in people learning about an ongoing ethnic cleansing, genocide, occupation, and was used in courts to showcase Zionism is now somewhere you cannot say a basic for justice phrase of the devastation.

This was the entire reason it was shutdown, or at least given those threats.
Mitt Romney spilled the beans months ago. Israel was losing their propaganda war to the users on TikTok. Israel couldnt keep getting away w/ genocide so long a free discourse was taking place on that app.
