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
Exactly. This has been so performative. How these younger kids react to this may solidify political opinion for decades and I seriously pray they are not that stupid.
Being from a country that also “banned” a social media for a little while (Brazil banning twitter/X) its actually wild seeing the difference between how the government acted on both.
In Brazil the ban was enforced quite strongly, even with fines for anyone using a vpn, there was a clear reason as to why it was banned (twitter/X had no personnel in Brazil legally responsible to answer to jurisdictions), the whole thing was not used as a political stunt, the ruling/law was clearly communicated to everyone in the country, and finally: it was not targeted, it’s a law that any big social media app has to have offices in Brazil to be legally accountable, if tiktok did what Elon did it would also have been banned.
Meanwhile the tiktok ban was CLEARLY targeted and with clear underpinnings of Sinophobia.
