UPDATE 1/20: TRUMP EXECUTIVE ORDER: SELL TIKTOK TO US OR WE'RE TARIFFING CHINA. You have 75 days!!!!

[Wargames]

its essentially a 90 day negotiation period to purchase tik tok, i dont expect the ccp to ever give up control of its prized app. the usa only accounts for about 14% of tik toks revenues

this only delays the inevitable shut down of tik tok

Ok thanks, so it’s basically another bullshyt move to make Trumps inauguration look good. Like the stoppage of the genocide in Gaza by Israel

 

[Genos]

The Gaza conflict didn't just start in 2023.

Anyway, I see that you're going to continue to deflect with "But America..." instead of condemning China. So there's no point in going further

No you don't understand that the nikka who has done multiple school shootings trying to condem the nikka who stabbed a few people is dumb as fukk. Especially if you still trust the school shooter with all the weapons

 

[Mister Terrific]

why would they sell something that can't be recreated?

it's tech gold. thats like saying theres something nefarious going on if google chooses not to sell it's search engine algorithm that in many respects is still reigns at the top after 25 years.

Twitter sold its shyt for pennies. So did YouTube, so did MySpace. Come on now, you can say it’s China’s IN to influence the American society whilst also being pro-unregulated markets and bullish on its actual impact on discourse. But don’t BS me when the entire intelligence community and a bipartisan majority of our government with access to this intelligence is telling us it’s a psy op.

So it’s back already?

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

So is the rumor Trump is doing an executive order true?

Cause quick question for the people more informed than me. How does an executive order overrule a signed law passed by congress, signed by a prior president, that the supreme court just verified as being constitutional?

He can't overrule the law with an EO. The only thing he can do is grant a temporary reprieve. Congress would need to pass a new law explicitly repealing the law or altering the requirements.

 

[Ozymandeas]

So you trust FB and Google to vet who they sell your shyt to? C'mon breh. It's just American companies that don't feel like competing with China and getting Daddy to intervene, just like with the auto sector

Yes, I trust Facebook and Google over the Chinese Government.

Yall nikkas wanting to be anti-government and anti-US is embarrassing, juvenile, and all-around lacking in critical thinking skills.

The United States is not perfect by any means but, we're not the CCP.

Yeah I actually think it is taking advantage of the lack of us laws to protect user data and privacy. The solution isn’t to ban tik tok it’s to regulate the entire market and then fine TikTok heavily for breaking the rules established for everyone.

There's plenty of horrible things that happen in China that don't get international attention.

You know covid killed Chinese people too.

It was down for ten whole hours. This country is cooked

Again, I'm not disputing that China does horrible shyt but you don't understand the scale of us worldwide brutality to make a comparison. We have over 800 bases around the planet, does China?

 

[Ozymandeas]

China banned Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat. Thats the issue with China.

China doesnt allow American influence on their youth/culture. While TikTok, a Chinese owned social media app, is very popular and influential over American youth/culture.

China doesnt have 100,000 people trying to make a career out of going live on tiktok and barking at the screen. They dont allow it. Yet here in America we got men donating $1000 to girls licking fake ears for asmr and meowing.

In China, you can't use almost any American app. They banned all of our shyt.

You can't speak freely in China. They're imprisoning billionaires or making them disappear if they do. So try talking crazy over there as a regular mofo and see what happens.

Yet anti-US fakkits want to criticize our government.

All over us banning one of their apps. They banned all of our shyt. We banned one.

AFAIC, if you have such a problem with the US, go live in China then. You wouldn't even be having this discussion over there. Your internet would have been gotten switched off and your door would have gotten kicked in.

 

[Ozymandeas]

Nope. Most Indians, Vietnamese, South Koreans, Japanese, Taiwanese, Filipinos, etc. HATE the Chinese government and military.

You can continue to believe your "America is the only bad country" BS.

Add Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia to the list too.

These nikkas really don't know.

Military bases that those countries governments want there?

China would love to have the amount of military bases around the world that the US does. Most countries don't want that, though.
