Trump spoke to NBC News' Kristen Welker in an exclusive phone interview Saturday, discussing his plans on what to do about the popular social media app.
Trump said he hadn’t made a final decision but was considering a 90-day extension of the Sunday deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell to a non-Chinese-buyer or face a U.S. ban.
All he is doing is trying to give US companies more time to buy them out. Fuck that, don’t give in on this one, Tiktok.
If the US wants to regulate social media, then they can regulate all social media equally legally instead of handing another service off to Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg or some other similar sleazebag.
Just regulate the algorithms, it’s that easy. Not that I’d like to see how Trump would regulate them, but you know what I mean, in a normal country.
If it was going to be blocked and they were going to be out the money anyways it would be interesting to see if they could somehow move it to activity pub to screw over the U.S. ownership of large social media companies. The federation would make the instances run around the world and no longer controlled by a foreign government, and therefore unable to be blocked by the clause thrown into the funding terrorism bill.
