    That bill passed 352 to 65… good luck repealing it. I think the idea here is they delay the ban while Trump tries to pressure the Chinese or leverage some foreign policy promises into giving co-president musk a good deal on buying it.

    Well, just clicked over CNBC and what do I see, the headline that Trump is pushing for a sale of Tik Tok to Elon Musk… who saw that coming?

    Astounding the un-American sh*t the public will just sit by and watch the traitor do.

    Would you rather the Chinese own it or Musk?

    Equally shitty options, IMO, but those are not the only two options…

    And with no surprise to ..... well anyone, TikTok now will screen out requests in America on any topic unflattering to the felon: 2020 election rigging, Jan 6, etc

    Craig Albert, Graduate Director, Intelligence and Security Studies at Augusta University, spoke to TheStreet about what this type of action from TikTok could mean.

    “It is very concerning that TikTok is blocking any type of searches, especially those that are confrontational towards President Trump,” he states. "

    Now that we've elected an un-American criminal, those are the only two options. And there was no other option besides electing an un-American criminal.

    Weird how the path of wading through shit because if Trump is always the same.

    If only there were some way that we could have known!

    Looks like TikTok is also now bending the knee to Trump ... US users say Anti-Trump search terms are being blocked in the North America, but is still available elsewhere, like the UK...

    BTW, didn't Trump just sign an EO banning social media from moderating content?

    TikTok is back, but users sound alarm on a startling change

    I doubt it's gov censorship. TT is prob doing this on their own. the maga socialists want the private sector to fear the gov.

    Got it ... didn't realize the EO only applied to government moderation.

    I don't know either, but that is my guess.
