Mr Trump, the Amerikkkan people yearn for their treats

I read a flippant remark without proof that TikTok gave trump $100million. Anyone got corroboration of that claim? I want to shove it in someone’s face.

The company said in the days before the law took effect that it planned to make the app inaccessible to US users—a level of cooperation and accommodation that the outgoing Biden White House called a “stunt” on Saturday afternoon. Even if TikTok itself had obligations under the law, the Biden White House had signaled that it did not plan to enforce the ban before Trump took office on Monday.

lmao

also, VPNs won’t wok either

How is it a stunt when the law Biden signed is literally

As of January 19, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act will make it unlawful for companies in the United States to provide services to distribute, maintain, or update the social media platform TikTok

like what did he think would happen on his last day in office when you’re banning a treat?

the law was enacted but not enforced yet, but they decided to enforce it upon themselves, before they legally had to. last week biden said he’d leave the fate of the enforcement in trump’s hands, in an attempt to save face i guess

stroking trump’s savior complex like this will probably double the chances of him actually following through tbh. smart move from tiktok

But “enforced” means what, international arrest warrants and sanctions against bytedance employees? Corporate fines? I honestly don’t know, but we generally don’t describe people following murder law as “enforcing a self-ban on killing people.”

I’ve seen videos of American TikTokers crying and begging for Trump to save TikTok.

:0 apparently looks like Facebook has a trail leading to a potential purchase

How do we get people to abandon these platforms? Like what’s the first step to planting the seed because we’re legit on the path of 3 corporations owning everything tech. Already lost that battle once with food conglomerates

Such a helpless feeling because tech bros have infected all aspects of our lives, they keep infecting our lives to even further extents and only annoying mfs like me seem to be care. Legit had a conversation with a friend today who did the whole “don’t bully people we’re all just trying to get by and enjoy some fun”
