TIKTOK UPDATE

leaves us with Zuckerberg who is shifting more right, Elon who is openly right on Twitter, and... what?

its over. these algorithms are gonna have people brainwashed


Trump update 1/19:

I’m asking companies not to let TikTok stay dark! I will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law’s prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security. The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order.

Americans deserve to see our exciting Inauguration on Monday, as well as other events and conversations.

I would like the United States to have a 50% ownership position in a joint venture. By doing this, we save TikTok, keep it in good hands and allow it to say up. Without U.S. approval, there is no Tik Tok. With our approval, it is worth hundreds of billions of dollars - maybe trillions.

Therefore, my initial thought is a joint venture between the current owners and/or new owners whereby the U.S. gets a 50% ownership in a joint venture set up between the U.S. and whichever purchase we so choose.

If it’s banned dude going to write some policy to bring it back.

Explain why not. Lot of Black people are eating. What counter do u possibly have that can justify Black people not eating?

Black people were "eating" off of heroin sales.

I don't even know what fukking point you're trying to make.

If someone can make money and exploit it, it should exist?

That logic of that mountain has so many slippery slopes i don't even fukkin know what shape it is.

Compare selling heroin to making skits on an app and think you really made a point.

 

[Hey_zeus]

Twitter and Tik Tok were the best apps. Goofy cacs ruined them both

 

[feelosofer]

You know what the wild thing about Tik tok as a platform. It has become a low key hub for Black businesses. My wife and daughter have bought all sorts of silly shyt but they were from Black sellers/businesses. Like they make it very simple.

No you dipshyt.

You said "black people eat" off TikTok.
So then ..anything where black people eat should be valid?

That's not your point?
Then what is?

State your point. Because black people can "eat" off a lot of shyt. Much of it harmful. THAT'S my point.

You fukkin balloonhead.

[jdubnyce]

i'm not on TikTok
What is the benefit of the app?
Does it contribute positively to society?
How?

 

[Plankton]

The question wasn't aimed at you. Stay out of conversations that aren't directed at you and stop quoting me to say nonsense.

I thought Trump said he was gon try to stop that from happening. Apparently, TikTok helped him win
