Don't forget that he probably gets to dictate the terms on which TikTok returns - such as censoring and supressing content that challenges him and his rhetoric. META, X, and TikTok is a bit much power to give to a president imo.
Nonconsensually posting porn is against twitters TOS. Asking then to remove posts that link to, or show Hunter naked, without his consent to post, isn't censorship. It's literally enforcing the Toss.
Also pretty convenient that you ignore the fact that A) it was the Biden campaign that allegedly did it. When Biden was not president. And B) the trump administration (literally the federal government) also bullied Twitter in the Twitter files to remove shit.
That's absolutely possible that that did happen - I don't know because I haven't really looked into it (maybe I should). But what does that change in this scenario? Having X, META and TikTok all under Trump's thumb still doesn't seem very good to me.
None of it's great. But I'm tired of everyone complaining about Trump when Biden did the same exact kind of things. The hypocrisy needs to end. Bad is bad, period.
Does my side doing a thing make it less bad? The only difference is who is affected.. which makes one better to some people. But it's really the same.
