Ellison needs to be thrown in prison when this nightmare comes to an end
The shittiest possible outcome is what the Trump admin is all about.
So true
Republicans obviously take majority responsibility for this turd of a deal and the corrupt shifting of TikTok ownership to Trump’s buddies. But it can’t be overstated what an own-goal supporting this whole dumb thing was for Democrats, who not only helped Trump’s friends steal partial ownership of TikTok, they saber-rattled over a ban during an election season where they desperately needed young people to vote.
As I’ve spent years arguing, if these folks were all so concerned about U.S. consumer privacy, they should have passed a functional modern internet privacy law applying to all U.S. companies and their executives.
Did anyone honestly expect anything good to come from the TikTok deal?
Good, because fuck that platform and its parasitic hold on society.
Oh this is going to do nothing to make TikTok better in any way, or cause it’s downfall.
It just lets Trump’s friends make money from it now.
Having even more propaganda control is the true problem.
Welcome to the era of media that cannot die.
Of course it is a shitty and shady deal. What did you expect from a government-backed deal?
Tiktok US deal; this is just for the US users. Tiktok global doesn’t change.
Essentially the US just siloed all the US users together and cut them off from the rest of the world and they’re about to find out just how little of the US were on Tiktok.
