Tick tock - Tik Tok

[ll74]

What will SCOTUS decide?

What about the change in position of the 47 administration?

How many here have tik tok installed?

I'm expecting that SCOTUS will move ahead with the law and force tik tok to divest and then I expect a huge backlash.

I'll admit this has likely had a few threads in the past, but wanted a fresh thread of discussion.

And as I love sources, here are two podcasts that contain discussion on the topic

Advisory Opinions -https://thedispatch.com/podcast/advisoryopinions/tick-tock-tiktok/

This mornings Remnant - https://thedispatch.com/podcast/remnant/the-year-of-tough-answers/

Trump now loves TikTok, because he tried it and he had loads of 'likes'. That's enough for him, he's already telling the SCOTUS how to decide.

He asked them to expedite their decision. He has a bad track record with SCOTUS.

Dumb thread

Dumb thread

This has just verified that this thread is worthwhile.

I look forward to your Twitter feed copy pasta disguised as an opinion on the topic.

 

[ll74]

Question - is the app worthwhile without the algorithm?

I use Reels and Instagram and Youube shorts.

Reels seems to keep my attention the most.

Always curious why. Probably the amount of thirst traps.

Idiotic

And that is how he got all the democrats to suddenly hate TikTok.

He should come out and say he's pro-open borders so we can watch you and the other "TOTALLY NOT DEMOCRATS" around here to suddenly become great wall of M'erica supporters.

Do you hate tik Tok?

 

[UltraChad]

Do you hate tik Tok?

Nope. Hatred of an app is beyond irrational to me. It's laughably stupid.

That's not what I meant. But you know that.

Do you hate the idea that China owns the algorithm? Is that worth more than a "but Democrats...." discussion, to you, or not?

 

[UltraChad]

You're incapable of discussion, you just obfuscate, speak in vague bullshitting around the bush ........ no fucking point.

You already can't accept my opinion on it, doesn't suit the PROGRESSIVE but totally not Democrat narrative.

So your answer is no. Shocker.

You already can't accept my opinion on it, doesn't suit the PROGRESSIVE but totally not Democrat narrative.

You don't have an opinion. You have blame, as usual.

 

[UltraChad]

You don't have an opinion. You have blame, as usual.

I gave you my opinion.

You reject it because it doesn't fit tha narrative.

 

[ll74]

Cope as you need

 

[UltraChad]

Cope as you need

I'm not the one who couldn't accept reality...I don't need the cope.

 

[ll74]

I'm not the one who couldn't accept reality...I don't need the cope.

Of course

 

[ll74]

I missed the briefings. Advisory Opinions has an analysis. I'll try to find and post the Trump brief, which just sounds absurd.

The arguments begin this week....so I hope this thread is more active going forward.

President Trump also has a unique interest in the First Amendment issues raised in this case. Through his historic victory on November 5, 2024, President Trump received a powerful electoral mandate from American voters to protect the free-speech rights of all Americans—including the 170 million Americans who use TikTok. President Trump is uniquely situated to vindicate these interests, because “the President and the Vice President of the United States are the only elected officials who represent all the voters in the Nation.

So trump wants to protect free speech but he wants to punish some mainstream media for saying mean things about him. Makes perfect sense


John Sauer, sucking up and cementing his place

Yup.

Makes perfect sense

Yup. Not hard to understand at all.

MAGA wants him to give the Democrats a taste of their own medicine.....and make it hurt GOOD!!!

And it's looking like he's actually going to do it.

He's very Presidential.

And if you disagree, you're banned.

Can't wait to see Chad be ok with this because the Democrats did it.

 

[jomar]

Yup.


Yup.

If you're not a totally myopic partisan hack it's pretty obvious how this works.

No wonder you can't figure it out.

Lol, who says I can’t figure it out.

You’ve reduced yourself to a one trick pony insult alt this go round. I guess the Biden years must have taken its toll on you.

Nobody. Just sayin'

You're delusional.

Don't live in a blue shit hole or work in a (D)ependent 'industry'.....so I've been largely protected from the stupid fuckery.
