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.
Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files

Why do you think Chump forced ByteDance to sell to his US buddy? See above.

Technically it hasn’t been switched over yet, the Chinese still run it.

Looks like that may be happening already. Who gets to buy WB? Netflix, or David/Larry Ellison Skydance? One has promised to censor CNN.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 months ago
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.

It still isn’t, server change hasn’t taken place yet.
It was always the same type of scum or worse.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The server move hasn’t happened yet. This is TikTok doing what TikTok does because they, the Chinese Dictatorship, have always and will always support the Trump regime.

Keeping the dumb guy in charge of your competitor has its perks.

They don’t need to move the server to change the algorithm or make auto filters. Do you think this requires physical access to servers or something?
If Chinese dictators supported trump they wouldn’t have been blasting Israels atrocities for all to see. China benefits from showing the world US is failing. You know his son in law has deep ties with Israel, right?
But yeah, always blame the boogeyman, even when your own fascists edgelords are beating the living shit out your country right in front of you. 👌
Now, make up some strawman.

China also doesn’t have to let the future new owners give them orders before the changeover.

The amount of malding you do anytime someone mentions China will never cease to amuse me.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mentioned China because somebody was spreading misinformation about their involvement and responsibility for this crime.

Yes, he did. One of the major shareholders in the new US Tiktok is the saudi group that includes Kushner.
