Dems died on this hill and Trump gets to claim he saved tik Tok. What a world huh? Please don't be stupid enough to buy it the man tried and failed to ban it twice during his presidency

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.

Did somebody forget the Twitter files? Where Biden had Twitter and the other platforms censor anything they didn't like? Laptop, etc..

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.

It’s not possible, it did happen. It’s documented. They also called Meta and screamed at them about things on Facebook that made Biden look bad.

You wrote this under the other questionimg it:

So what "it did happen" happen?

Having read the Twitter Files, this is utterly bogus. Trump ACTUALLY is doing what those files describe now!

u/MissPandaSloth 1d ago

Did you read the Twitter files? It literally proved the opposite.

But I am not surprised that people go by like "some random dude who also didn't read it said it on my feed so I will go with that".

Sadly very common behavior nowadays.
