"TikTok Gets An Illegal 75-Day Reprieve From Ban"

FIFY.

Irrespective of the merits of the ban, the reprieve, or anything else involved in this issue, the reprieve is illegal, and should be treated that way.

Yes. It’s illegal in the same way that it was illegal – meaning unconstitutional – for him to suspend enforcement of an anti-corruption law.

Similarly, as George Washington said, “Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by individuals.”

Wait till Ai mixes up Tiktok truths and lies into its mix with others like YouTube and News Outlets.
Going to be interesting future of messed up Ai.

All about grabbing data and control of said data.

Government hates the internet they cant control it like they want.

This administration is putting a lot of work into saving TikTok, and I'm not even 100% sure why. 😬

Maybe they really like cute dance challenges? :cool:

I think it’s pretty obvious. They’ve realized that owning social media and being able to control the algorithm is the single most effective way to influence the thinking and behavior of people - particularly the younger demographics - to do their bidding.

Having it in the hands of one American controlled company or individual gives Trump leverage to force them into promoting or censoring whatever he wants.

There will be no buyer, because there is no sale. China isn't going to give the US TikTok, regardless of the price or threats.

China has called Trump's bluff.
You think so? My guess is the gargantuan amount of goodwill from China Trump's recent moves have secured will smooth things out. There's no way Xi, out of sheer happiness, would deny anything to Trump now.
 
I wish America would get a 75 day reprieve from Trump Idiocracy. The country might not even last that long based on the past few days and weeks.
We made it through 4 years of Biden. A guy with severe senile behavior and dementia.

He's the same guy that didn't try to end the Ukraine War, let it happen to begin with, and didn't do anything to ease inflation. He's the same guy that continued to allow the country's national debt to uncontrollably rise and not offer a solution to fix it --- and also the same guy that contributed to our immigration/border crisis.

Trump is way more involved in everything, which is a better solution than the guy before him. America has been using an old, ready to fall off band aid well before this administration took over, and now people are upset because this administration finally ripped it off so the wound can heal.
 
This is hilarious :D He first introduces the ban, then do not have the b4lls to keep it. Real childish boy 101 :D
 
Too bad for all those chuckleheads trying to sell iPhones w/ TikTok installed for thousands of $$$ on eBay right now.
Seriously??? TikTok is still available to download. Why would anyone pay a premium for a phone with it?
 
I’m
Man, I don’t even care. Just ban it this point. The constant back-and-forth is so silly to focus on at this point. We are in a trade war, we are even debating invading other countries and our own country is going to crap. Last thing I care about is scrolling TikTok right now.


With everything gone to hell in a hand basket then Tick is exactly what some ppl need!…
