Trump reverses stance on TikTok - where are USMB critics?

[iamwhatiseem]

Well. Well. Guess who likes some CCP money? Yep, Trump. So we had 2 or 3 threads on here about Biden and TikTok but I didn’t see the right get all juiced up on this. Biden just has an operative using it. Trump is an advocate for the CCP app. Holy shit.

Donald Trump Reverses Himself, Questions Ban On TikTok

The former president, who once threatened to ban the popular social media app himself, now says that doing so would only benefit competitors like Facebook.

www.huffpost.com

It’s not clear why Trump appeared to reconsider his position on banning TikTok. Some commentators noted he recently hosted GOP megadonor Jeff Yass, who is a billionaire investor in ByteDance, at his Mar-a-Lago club and sought his support in the presidential race.

Former President Donald Trump raised concerns over efforts to ban the social media app TikTok this week, appearing to walk back the position he held in 2020, when he threatened to ban the app himself.

“If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business,” the presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee wrote on his social media platform on Thursday, referring to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Trump said he didn’t want Facebook to “d[o] better,” calling the company “a true Enemy of the People.”

Didn't quite go like you hoped did it?
Conservatives will actually call out their own when they disagree with them.
It is the left that refuses to even acknowledge that Democrats have plenty of faults.

Didn’t June Cleaver the other night criticize Biden for having a TikTok Account?

In today's world there are a lot of young women who would not mind being June Cleaver in a marriage who will never get that chance. Modern agendas have destroyed or damaged a lot of things. Our nation lives with constant aggravation when it does not have to be this bad.

That is the answer to your question. They will know what they need to from us all for their goals.

What goals are these that they are gathering from 12 year olds?

And we have no shortage of people here in our nation who are doing the same. Our political, religious, gender, sexual, racial, and anything else of views can disseminate who get punished and who does not. And frankly it may not even be true.

Another vast generalization.

New Bill Threatens To Ban TikTok In The U.S. Unless Platform Divests Chinese Ownership

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce voted unanimously to pass the bill, which the White House has also endorsed.

www.huffpost.com

. The bill would block social media applications controlled by U.S. adversaries and deemed a national security threat to users from operating in the country, unless they sever their ties with their foreign owners. If the bill becomes law, it would force ByteDance to divest TikTok.

~S~

They all collect your data. This isn't data that is difficult for anyone to gather.

 

[Jim H - VA USA]

Well you are the one who asked what information they gathered, and I showed you that they gather everything and ship it to Communist China.

Now you are saying, "so what?", which is different.

We can only speculate what they do with the data, but they tell you flat out that they analyze it and feed you content based upon their analyses. They can probably use the data to launch a massive cybersecurity attack some day as well - they can learn what type of phone people have, what apps they access, networks used, etc. Watch what happens when they move for Taiwan.

I understand that they track that 12 year old girls are at the mall.

How is tracking a 12 year old girl being at the mall going to have to do with Taiwan? China can't mess with Taiwan unless they know the daily movement of 12 year old girls?

There are plenty of threads on Biden simply using the app, but only this one on Trump. No one would have said shit about it and none of them really care that Trump is backtracking after getting what is likely China money washed through an American subsidiary.

When the war with China starts and they come at us by using my viewing of cooking and movie reviews on TikTok and by knowing where I was hiking you’ll be sorry.

 

[citygator]

Have you been on Tic Toc? It’s a cesspool of liberal misinformation and propaganda…So, that’s no big deal for our kids eh?

You probably support tranny story hour too.

It recommends your viewing based on what you viewed and how long. You must love liberal tiktokers and trannies. I am not surprised.

You may not be important

But the grandchild of a key senator on a key issue may offer vulnerabilities that the chicoms want to exploit

I have a hard time sleeping at night thinking about it.

If we go to war with China it won't be because of TikTok.

I shudder to think of examples for that

Of course. LOL

Like most everyone else, you are scared of things you can't even explain.
