You guys have become the MSM. He is simply talking about a void left and gave an opinion on META in that context!

I work under the basic idea that 100% of our personal data is shared all over the world by bad actors.

"Banning" an app won't change or fix any of that.

We've long since been sold out, by friends and by foe, for well intentioned and nefarious purposes.

My reasoning for changing my mind is that I don't trust this admin to ban tik tok without slipping in something that would target conservatives

ETA

I also don't trust the RINOs in congress and the senate to guard against such a thing happening

Because it's popular and he's going to fold to what is popular.

I don't disagree with you actually. If the CCP or any other bad actor wants to data scrape info on US citizens they can find a way to do it. Unless we move to some closed ecosystem like China, it's inevitable. I do think we shouldn't just make it a layup for China to do it and a message should be sent. US companies like Facebook and Google can be constrained va legislative action and if TikTok wants to operate in the US they should be subject to same oversight. I agree with Trump that Facebook should be confronted with the competition. Zuckerberg is an evil little shite who dropped a couple of hundred million on Democrats last election cycle like it was pocket change so Facebook and Zuck is the lesser of two evils in Trumps mind.

This is the main reason I'm not for banning TikTok. The fascist relationships between Meta and the federal government needs the competition.

Trump simping for Chinese
I'm old enough to remember when Cult45 told us he was going to "stand up to the Chinese". Well, I guess he will, as long as the tweens are happy with it. Such a tough guy!

Doubt he could legally do anything to TicToc due to Trump owning truthsocial. Would be a huge conflict of interest


Are you saying as president, the government could not do anything to TikTok because of trumps ties to truth social?

But entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy recently became the first 2024 candidate to join the platform, which says it has over 150 million U.S. users. …

“We’re in this to reach young people, to energize young people, and to do that, we can’t just hide,” Ramaswamy said in his first post earlier this month. “You can’t play in the game, and then not play in the game, so we’re here.”

@VivekGRamaswamy
We’re literally *addicted* to China. They push fentanyl via cartels across our southern border. They push digital fentanyl via TikTok, blackmailing young Americans. Our national debt is basically financial fentanyl. The real Declaration of Independence of the 21st century is from the CCP. Time to do it now.

Bashing TikTok is easy. Understanding the actual issue is harder. President Trump just came out opposing the pending legislation. Here’s why that’s right: we need to end *all* forced data transfers to the CCP, regardless of ownership.
