Lost in all of this chatter is the fact that Americans collectively didn't pay any attention to this until today got closer and closer and all of the options to keep the law from going into effect got exhausted. We don't pay any attention and then get surprised and angry when something like this happens, rather than fukking paying attention to what Congress is doing and pressing our representatives when things like this are coming up for votes.

I've been telling friends and family repeatedly for the past year and a half that TikTok could get bushed soon because of the bills in Congress. The bill that got signed into law last year was floating around in Congress in different forms for a good while before that, and there were a lot of signs years ago that it was going to end up on Biden's desk eventually.

Americans aren't serious in part because we're not civically engaged and that makes it easy for whoever's in power to pull shyt like this

It's been going on since Trump was in office the first time. So thats at least late 2019. Anyone who is "shocked" wasn't paying attention whatsoever.

Congratulations, Democrats.

The TikTok ban was initiated by Trump, passed through the House and Senate along bipartisan lines, yet because President Biden signed the bill into law, Democrats allowed Trump to be the hero on this, politically.

Absolute malpractice by leadership.

Biden should have never supported the TikTok ban. He should have never signed the bill to ban TikTok. Democrats failed again. He is part of the blame for this PR nightmare. 2024 Biden was all for the ban. Suddenly, in 2025, he pretended his admin was looking for a way to keep it.

It appears that Joe Biden's TikTok ban will be his final accomplishment before leaving office, and it is a massive gift to Trump. The ban will further alienate young voters from the Democratic Party and give Trump an opportunity to cast himself as a defender of free expression.

[Quoted tweet]
Joe Biden has handed Trump an opening to cast himself as the "savior of TikTok," giving him a chance to further win over young voters—regardless of whether or not the app is ultimately banned. Who couldn't have seen this coming?

Fact: Trump previously signed an Executive Order banning TikTok, concerned it would ruin his reelection chances.

If he "saves" it, he will have simply undone what he originally did, keeping his pattern of creating a non-existent threat, creating an unnecessary emergency, and then taking credit for fixing it.

Great job, America.

Hi Gang, Preferred activity Monday is to honor and celebrate MLK. Do not watch Trump and billionaire cronies. Their day is coming. As the late Notorious B.I.G. Big Daddy rapped, "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems." Everyday Americans will revolt and then bolt from the GOP when their social programs are slashed at the expense of fat cat tax cuts.

@PunditParanoia
Biden signed the law in April 2023 banning TT. And now? It's banned.

As of 09:53 AM on January 19, 2025 PST, TikTok is indeed banned in the United States due to the failure of ByteDance to divest from the app by the deadline set by the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which was signed into law by President Joe Biden. The Supreme Court upheld this law, and thus, TikTok services have been shut down for users in the U.S. since the deadline passed.

MAGA is now predictably trying to blame Democrats for TikTok shutting down.

1) It was a bill passed by Congress.

2) More Republicans than Democrats voted to ban the app.

I don't understand the people telling tik tokkers to go get a real job. There aren't many viable jobs available. This tool is enabling a good many people to make themselves some money. I think they're smart for taking advantage of it.

The 90-day extension was a mandatory clause in the prior agreement in the event of termination. It's only up for 3 months which means unless a deal is sorted out between the two sides...we're only stalling the inevitable.

Three months later we'll be back here again.

You'd think they'd learn to be just as obstructionist to republicans as republicans are to them, especially on issues related to securing their base votes
