But they paid Trump, so this law will not be enforced.
Zuck will convince him to keep the ban in place, as he benefits the most. There’s a reason Zuck has kissed the ring.
How can he argue for Trump to attack EU regulation if he supports the regulation of Tiktok out of the US?
Can we cancel YouTube shorts now?
I’m convinced that exposure to these videos actually causes ADHD
There is evidence that it shortens attention spans. Can’t cause ADHD, however, because one of the diagnostic criteria is that it’s lifelong (must have symptoms present before age 12) and it’s something inherent to who you are.
Also, entirely a special interest rant here, but ADD is no longer the term. ADHD is the term for the disorder and those who were diagnosed with ADD before now are considered ADHD Inattentive Type. Reason for the change is we don’t typically differentiate diagnoses based on symptom presentation. You don’t get the flu or the chilly flu, you just get the flu with chills as a symptom.

It can probably worsen symptoms for people with ADHD tho, which would also be really bad.
170 million users in the United States.
Tankies: But it’s just a lil Chinese app, why the US single out TiKTok‽
That’s why. That’s an incredible amount of influence right there.
You think Elon and Zuck are better?
Both sides can be bad, with TikTok the problem is that it is controlled by an adversary, a nation that doesn’t have good relationship with the US and wants it to collapse.
Frankly if I had power I would go after Twitter and Meta as well.
the problem is that it is controlled by an adversary
As opposed to billionaires working with the trump admin…
If you don’t think this is adversarial government, I won’t try to convince you, it’ll keep getting more and more obvious
You won’t find me supporting Twitter or Meta, and I won’t deny that their owners do seem to be influenced by foreign governments (directly or indirectly), but TikTok is clearly information Domain Warfare and it would be hell of a stupid to continue allowing it if they are still controlled by Chinese government. This is why that sale is for.

If TikTok wasn’t a weapon, wouldn’t it make more sense to sell it and get something than not selling it and have nothing?
The current behavior only makes sense if the real value was being China’s propaganda piece. A normal business would just go after money.
You think the French nobility fund d US revolutionaries because they were upset about taxes?
If a country is doing something in another country, it’s for selfish reasons 99% of the time.
If China wants to allow a place for people to complain about trump not controlled by a billionaire in Trump’s side…
What they get out of it isn’t the primary concern. It’s helping the American people even if only done to fuck with Trump’s administration
