Trump executive order update 1/20:

Trump signs executive order delaying TikTok ban, threatens tariffs if no deal

Trump extends TikTok ban deadline by 75 days, threatening tariffs on China if Beijing does not approve a deal regarding the app.

“I may not do the deal. I may do the deal. TikTok is worthless, worthless if I don’t approve it, it has to close. I learned that from the people that own it”, Trump said on Monday.

“With TikTok, I have the right to either sell it or close it, and we’ll make that determination,” he said, suggesting that “if we wanted to make a deal with TikTok, and it was a good deal, and China wouldn’t approve it, then I think ultimately they’d approve it because we’d put tariffs on China”.

The executive order effectively buys time – 75 days – for the administration to explore alternative solutions to address the app’s data privacy concerns without resorting to an outright ban. It also opens the door for further negotiations with ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company, in hopes of finding a resolution that satisfies national security requirements.

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

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.

Does it contribute positively to society?

[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
