Dems died on this hill and Trump gets to claim he saved tik Tok. What a world huh? Please don’t be stupid enough to buy it the man tried and failed to ban it twice during his presidency
its so funny bc trump was the one who first initialized a ban on tiktok and now he wants to reverse it bc the dems followed thru with his plan???
It’s crazy being taught by a Chinese company that arbitrary censorship is bad lmao
Edit: For clarification: I never said that banning TikTok is censorship.
Edit2: I don’t think that the ban on TikTok is arbitrary. That is not what I said.
“Trump saved free speech and Tik Tok!!! Go Trump”
This is what will be spun now and even if 10% of people believe that, that’s millions more people in favour of Trump now…
Translations: Trump says he is a despot and we can ignore the other two checks of goverment, because he said we wont face charges, we are going to bypass scotus.
Do not trust trump or anyone associated with them he was the one to try and ban it from the start
If you read Trump’s statement he’s saying it’s only a temporarily lift of the ban until they can work out a deal that gives 50% of overship of tiktok to the United States. Literally kicking the can down the road and giving the same demands as before but pretending he saved TikTok
All that for nothing yall .. they cried wolf too many times for me to fall for it.
The trump glazing just proves this was some bullshit political stunt. I swear if anybody falls for this….
LMAO, Tik Tok supporting the first amendment is rich.
The CCP is laughing their asses off right now. It’s not just about data, it’s about having a direct mainline of Chinese propaganda able to be fed directly to an unquestioning American youth.
The shit I’ve seen people eat up about China in the past 24 hours is insane. Like that one girl claim they don’t even work 40 hours a week in China.
The CCP’s ability to sow intense dissatisfaction with the our own country is an intentional, weaponized effort. The more dissatisfied we are with our country, the less popular doing anything to support Taiwan becomes. This is not to say we certainly don’t have massive problems and real cause for dissatisfaction, but looking to China for an example of how to run things is horrible.
Meta and Twitter are definitely junk food that needs massive restructuring and the imposition of privacy laws, but Tik Tok is foreign sponsored poison in comparison that we are willingly feeding to the American public.

Not redownloading that shit.
I won’t thank him for shit. This is a fucking stunt.
I’m surprised people are surprised, wasn’t he saying months ago that if he wins they’re going to “look at TikTok”?
This is also Trump, remember that.
Ah. So like all things this was a whole nothing burger.
Called it.
It is funny because Trump originally proposed banning TikTok in 2020 and then changed his mind when he realized that it might hurt his election bid. Biden also changed his mind and stated that his administration would not enforce the ban. Absolutely nothing about the situation is changing tomorrow. Trump is just going to continue Biden’s policy of not enforcing a ban. This is political theater.
Because it was a PR stunt
Brought up the idea of banning it… pushed to get it banned, got elected, let’s it get banned, then takes credit for unbanning it?
This guy is not subtle, and everyone who cheers for him is living in a circle jerk.
Trump isn’t even president yet. And it wasn’t just Dems who passed the law against it.
TikTok is bending over backwards to glaze the incoming dictator
If I see another post abt tiktok im going to scream
If TikTok does come back but is owned by Meta, let’s see how many of yall will *TRUELY* not re-download it out of spite for Meta
Does no one else remember when TikTok sent a message to all of its users phones to tell them to call their representatives to vote no against the ban?

Joe Biden: Yeah we’re not gonna enforce this law and let Donald Trump decide
TikTok: Thank you daddy trump for helping save us, you are the only component in helping us be saved
Fucking Trump and his bullshit
Gag at this blatant performative propaganda. I don’t use meta apps and did actually like tik tok (I actually have gotten a lot of parenting tips from birth and pediatric health care providers).
This is such an obvious distraction tactic to mask the fact he actually can’t lower grocery prices and end wars on day 1. Hate seeing another company in bed with Trump, and I’m not surprised by that but I am disgusted they’re making it THIS obvious. And people are still going to swallow it. Yuck.
Will it be the same though?
Except for the fact no one’s first amendment right has been violated 🤷♂️
God, y’all just believe anything
Yeah tiktok is going to turn into shit now, i can already smell it.
They’re really riding Trump’s dick after he tried to ban them twice before
Mine isn’t loading😭😭😭
The Democratic Party just can’t stop stepping on easily avoidable rakes, huh?
I just want to mention how. Is this not illegal? I will definitely look at the gift horse in the mouth. This was banned by executive order by trump and just judged by Supreme Court to be banned. How can we just give it a 90 day extension at the snap of a finger. This feels like an abuse of power… granted I don’t use TikTok never should’ve been banned in the first place.
Trump once again, playing Savior.
I was on TikTok for 6 years. Longer than most people had this app. I won’t be getting on if Trump brings it back, because most likely, it will be Meta who buys it off of the TikTok CEO. It will not be the same place as it was before. More people being misogynistic, more misinformation from both sides, we probably won’t have as much access to what’s happening around the world, and much more. It will be catered to the puritans who are pushing their harmful views. I’ll stick with Fanbase, BlueSky, Reddit, Tumblr, AO3. I have FB and Insta, but only use it for audition notices.
The way people were acting was actually embarrassing…. This has just shown how addicted we are to that silly app
All of you keep saying how Trump is dumb and Republicans are dumb and every single person ever to be right leaning is literal nazi, yet these dumbs keep playing you like a fiddle.
Would you look at that, Trump saved TikTok. Thats the narrative.
This generation constantly misses the point in everything and it’s so obnoxious. You guys find meme value and brain rot and what you feel as more important than reality.
This law was to be upheld by the *incoming* president. The precedent has already been upheld by the Supreme Court and the law signed and created by a bipartisan congress
Trump is simply breaking the law, and Biden said he wouldn’t do anything to overtly enforce it since he’s “passing the torch” essentially
Well that makes Biden a dipshit, because the democratic party can’t fucking get over the fact that bipartisan politics based on the proper expectation of duty don’t work anymore and haven’t been happening
The republican party and Trump do nor care about the status quo of how politics are supposed to work. They are not eloquent, well spoken, reserved or charismatic, they do not care about the rule of law or how a public servant is “supposed to act”. So why the hell do the dems keep giving them the fucking stick if all they do is beat them back with it
Theres a reason the DOD partially banned TikTok, you guys are so gullible is absolutely mindblowing. The stupidity of my (this) generation enters the realm of absurdity
This subreddit always pisses me off because every high rated post is some dumbass who makes an opinion and thinks they somehow cracked some code or figured out the conspiracy and everyone else jumps on board because “it’s feels right”
You all spend so much god damn time on your phones, yet instead of actually learning, researching and being inquisitive about stuff, you let yourself be spoonfed by trash algos that feed you brain rot and exactly what it wants to feed you. Not the other way around
The celebrated ignorance and lack of awareness is why a dipshit like Trump got elected any why our country is failing. Welcome to the idiocracy
Who cares about food and home prices, who cares about the cost of a car, or making a fair wage, or racial and marriage equality, who cares about no health insurance and the oligarchy we live in. But touch my chinese ran social media platform and it’s all over
And shut the fuck up about it being “not chinese spyware” and my first ammendment rights. 70% of you idiots are flocking to RedNote, as platform literally ran by the CCP and all in mandarin.
You have a million other platforms to use, you can even go talk to people in person.
Lastly, this platform helped elect Trump, and is a smorgasbord of Russian and MAGA propaganda
Edit: just gonna add this comment from elsewhere, Trump himself tried banning it in 2019/2020. It wasn’t until ByteDance sucked up to him and he saw how it benefited *him* that he now wants it back https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/s/wFqwVrqSeG
Fuck Donald Trump. I hate that fucking man so much
Trump created a problem so he could get praised for fixing it 🤦♂️
