It was? How do you figure when no evidence of that was presented to Congress according to congressional members and senators?

That second paragraph is just vile. Donny brought this ban into motion and now they say he will save them?

It's likely just staged bullshit so he can be the savior.
The entirety of global capitalism is lining up to bend the knee and gargle fascist balls.
This is what leftists have been warning forever. Capitalism wants the monopolies, bailouts — the political, financial and military backing, etc — that state-capitalist dictatorships provide. Democratically elected governments, acting in the interests of the people, are really the only threat to the corporate oligarchies wealth and power.
All of the wests "enemies" are equally supportive of fascism, because state-capitalist dictators are easier to influence (bribe).
Surreal watching the rest of the internet freaking out. Meanwhile we are just sitting here on our own platforms doing our own things.
Personally, I never saw the appeal of TikTok anyway.
Then again I also was never interested in Twitter.
I guess my attention span isn't short enough for that type of sites.

Trump isn't going to save them. He's setting it up so one of us cronies will get it.

What I find mad is that people are seriously depressed about this on /r/Tiktok. Yeah sure, I understand small creators now having a tough time having their business disappearing, but people are literally saying that TikTok was their only source of information and that they don't know what to do now??
