Why do you think Chump forced ByteDance to sell to his US buddy? See above.
Yes, he did. One of the major shareholders in the new US Tiktok is the saudi group that includes Kushner.
Oh, yeah, I called it on day one. They were only pushing the ban because they wanted to capture it. Of course the new owner would be MAGA.
Wait until they start demanding that AMERICAN companies be sold to a buyer of their choice.
Looks like that may be happening already. Who gets to buy WB? Netflix, or David/Larry Ellison Skydance? One has promised to censor CNN.
I've heard that Ellison has already been rejected. Neither Netflix nor Warner wanted anything to do with him.

tiktok was the only one that wasnt us controlled, that was allowing anti-zionist posts without severe astroturfing like with all the other SOCIAL media, thats the real reason.

tiktok is owned by maga, isn't it?
Yes. The Trump administration is refusing to obey a law to enforce a tiktok ban in exchange for political loyalty
Technically yes but actually no.
The servers are still in Beijing at this moment, these actions were taken by the Chinese.
TikTok and China have always supported Trump.
Yes, trying to forcibly give ownership of it to one of his lackies.
I don't know who needs to see this but stop using TikTok!
Which document is this? I wanna look it up. EDIT: I found them! It looks like they really are just pulling documents that implicate Trump as they get discovered, and redacting them.
These are the worst Fascists ever. Completely incompetent at spinning political narratives.
I would argue that they are the best kind of fascist; they wont last long.
That PI batch is particularly damning. I'm surprised I haven't even heard of these bits among even YouTube circles. Maybe Upper Echelon is working on something.

They redacted the fucking bullet point? lmao
That's what happens when you Ctrl+A+redact
That 119 page document that was fully redacted, the redacted the frikkin margins.
What kind of sick bitch redacts the margins?!
Trump already said that the new deal was going to make TikTok 100% MAGA.

TikToks level of censorship SUCKS its the reason we have those dumb "algorithm-friendly" alternatives for serious topics. Can't say people were KILLED so you gotta say they're UNALIVE.
And you're.... Surprised?
Yeah and EA is blocking saying Epstein, but you can say trump and Biden but not Epstein. A lot of companies are protecting the pedos.

Somewhat related note / PSA to all:
When typing on Android 16 using Gboard (with permissions and custom dictionary turned off), the words "pedophile," "pedophilia," and "pedophilic" do not show up in the suggested set of words or autocorrections. It doesn't say these are spelled wrong after you complete the word though. It simply offers no suggestions after "pedoph-" is typed and shows literally nothing when you put the cursor on the completed word, unlike any other word.
Out of curiosity, I tried a bunch of swear words and slurs. Gboard will gladly show the N word if typed correctly for example, but not pedophile. ("Cocksucker" is the only other word I can find that has this seeming lack of dictionary presence.)
The fuck?
couldn't replicate your issue. sorry
It shows up in mine if it started with "Paedo", which is the correct dictionary words afaik

I see one rich asshole ~~named~~ called larry ellison has begun to fulfill his purpose.
It's supposed to be (O)ne (R)ich (A)sshole (C)alled (L)arry (E)llison. Saying named throws the whole oracle thing out and then you might as well use more fun names like decrepit ass-goblin, or world champion cum wrangler to describe him

Hate to ask this way but is that text real?
Look into the mideas touch podcast. They have a copy of this from before and this redacted version was the one uploaded. 100% breaking the law their orange god signed.
yes
Is there a name for the document? Or a ID?
Admittedly at this point you probably won't find anything useful on the official site, other than the last redacted version. Hopefully someone has saved the first version and uploaded it elsewhere?
Yes that's why I want the name

Try posting a fully redacted page, let's see if that gets removed too
Still not worth anything to install that spyware on my phone, got it.
That's the problem with the problem with social media.
It isn't the apps.
It's they people are so fucking stupid and addicted they're going to keep feeding it.
The amount of metrics that TikTok collects though, no thanks.
Great point.
I take that back. It's also the apps.

Of course, they just sold to Ellison and friends. It's now just another mouthpiece for the Conservative Propaganda Machine.

If you upload an all-black image does it get flagged?
Everyone needs to be boycotting TikTok hard. Bring more people to Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon, PeerTube and other more ethical alternatives.
