TikTok abruptly shut itself down to U.S. users late Saturday night, minutes before a nationwide ban took effect—but President-elect Donald Trump said hours earlier he will “most likely” allow TikTok to return when he takes office Monday by extending a deadline for China-based owner ByteDance to sell the app. (Here’s more on TikTok’s shutdown.)
January 19, 2025A nationwide ban on TikTok took effect, formally barring internet service providers and app stores from offering the ultra-popular social media platform.
January 18, 2025TikTok shut itself down in the United States at some point before 11 p.m. EST, greeting American users with a message that said “you can’t use TikTok for now” due to a “law banning TikTok” set to take effect Sunday—but the platform noted Trump “has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office.” (Read more here.)
January 18, 2025Trump signaled he would “most likely” issue a 90-day extension on the TikTok ban, saying an announcement would “probably” come Monday, though he did not definitively say whether he would do so.
January 17, 2025TikTok said in a statement its service will “be forced to go dark” on Jan. 19 unless TikTok “should remain available to Americans” if “under American ownership”

Just a reminder: the TikTok ban isn't about chinese spyware. It's because China is using TikTok to radicalize zoomers into hating Israel by showing them Gaza footage.
The whole "Chinamen are in our wires" thing has been a problem for decades. Much of the IP theft that occurs in the US is from hardware that is manufactured in China which comes with spyware. This is such a pervasive problem that even battery-operated sex toys phone home to China.

>>1375358 To be fair, the ban had nothing to do with trump, and as soon as he reverses it and gives them additional time to divest, it will be seen as a positive effect of the trump presidency by most of the TikTok uses.
On one hand do you have the outgoing democrat administration working to block open discussion and free speech, and you have the incoming administration taking actions to enforce it

>>1375364 Trump literally started the movement to ban tiktok in the first place though. It was his administration that started the effort, but it only actually went through by Biden's time.

Quoted By:
>>1375369 Actually it's an odd dynamic. Trump first suggested it and all of the Democrats were against the idea of course because it was a trump suggestion. Biden comes into office, suggests it himself, and now all the Democrats supported it. Meanwhile the Republicans never changed their mind and supported it the whole time. Then it gets passed, and now Trump gets to look like the good guy by blocking enforcement of it for 90 days to give bytedance a chance to divest

Good news, everyone.
Trump just saved TikTok.

>>1375373 This wasn't even Biden's suggestion lol. It was initially Trumps, then later got approval by the senate after tiktok refused to change ownership, then passed through congress and was upheld by the supreme court.
Honestly I don't even know what Trump can do in this regard (the app is only back online because they only had to cease updating and remove it from all app stores, they could've kept the US servers online for a while) considering this was a decision made by two other branches versus his one.

Also the funny thing is all dems have to do is remind any angry zoomers who started the process. Or which party put forth the legislation.

All shilling aside, 50% US ownership of TikTok is a very positive thing. It's literally what China does to US businesses that want to do business there, they force the US businesses to do a joint venture with a Chinese business.

Don't cherry pick shit, asshole.
In fact, given that its supported by a Democrat president, a democrat house, a Republican Senate and a Republican president, I'd say it has bi-partisan support and you are just clawing at straws trying to frame it from the perspective of a TDS patient, no?

>>1375390 >Fascism >>1375408 >fairness and integrity In the Third Reich, there was a savings stamp scheme for people to buy that which Hitler ordered Ferdinand Porsche to manufacture for 1,000 Reichmarks or less, so those who paid into said scheme would obtain a vehicle when their stamp books were filled.
However, if anyone missed so much as one payment, the whole thing was null & void and they wouldn't get a refund.
Not one person got their KdF-wagen. Hitler was nothing more than a subhuman con artist.
Fortunately, people were able to buy a vehicle in Deutschmarks with a percentage discounted for full or partially filled stamp books. For a Volkswagen Beetle. Post-WWII. In a Germany as a result of de-Nazification.
That which is worshiped by so many doesn't actually care about them.

>>1375431 >Trump didn't 180 on it the last few years. He hasn't 180ed. He wants it to be majority owned by a US business just like everyone who passed the law across both aisles.
TikTok is more valuable in US hands than not allowed at all, don't you understand this? The point of the bill was never to remove it from the country completely otherwise they would have just done that and claimed it couldn't be in the country under any circumstance.
But no, the bill instead put extreme pressure on bytedance for them to divest 50% of it into US interests

I do disagree with this on the grounds that a sitting president demanding a company immediately sell themselves when one of his closest allies is interested in buying is a massive conflict of interest. If any negotiations go forward Musk should be banned from being part of them, but obviously that's not going to happen.

>>1375445 The House, Senate, and Current President are advocating for the company to sell it. Trump's the one associated with a private company that actually can, even if he wasn't when he first raised the idea.
Like the whole idea of the bill itself was "Sell it, or it's banned" with the intent being that if they were unwilling to sell, it's banned. Now Trump seems to be shifting to trying to hint at them to sell it above all else instead of just staying with the ruling of "they're unwilling to sell, so they're banned from the US".

>>1375448 >>Trump originally advocates for banning tiktok for being chinese spyware Important to remember in all circumstances that what the US accuses tiktok of doing might not actually be true.
Chinese spying has been a longstanding issue to be sure. But US law is supposed to protect the natural rights of the people who live here. This includes free expression, which is vitally important to a fully functioning democracy, which many American citizens are using to communicate ideas which the government hates.

All sides are acting retarded with TikTok in my opinion, and Trump should just force them to divest or ban them anyway. We shouldn’t tolerate China leafletting the country like its doing.
