Gagaism 12,471 Posted January 10, 2025 Share Posted January 10, 2025 I out of loop with the subject but what’s the big deal about TikTok to get to this point? Also, wouldn’t it give even more power to meta socials given the current circumstances? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stop you right there because you can't. No one here is debating the nonsense that goes on over in TikTok land. I simply called out that pushing users away from there to IG or YouTube isn't the roaring victory people think it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Trump is a delusional narcissist that believes that he won the youth vote by double digits and wants to save TikTok because he thinks young people like him now (keep in mind he was the first to propose a TikTok ban via executive order in 2020 after Gen Z used the app to troll him by artificially suppressing attendance of one of his first rallies since the lockdown). He also first started proposing overturning the TikTok ban as a way of getting back at Zuckerberg for “election interference” in the 2020 election (he believes that Facebook/META complying with the FBI’s request to suppress Russian disinfo cost him the election).
