We actually live in a world now in which the President of the United States explicitly states his intent to overtly violate the first amendment and the media just repeats it as if nothing of any note is going on.

So like X.

Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100%

Me says posts that start with "Trump says" should be tweaked to become 100% invisible.

The open corruption, clear as day illegal and unconstitutional moves, and his overall smugness is embarrassing.

The GOP has gone insane to allow this man to continue like this. They are all sick with power and are hoping to "get theirs" next from daddy trump.

They are ALL traitors and should be charged for allowing the crimes to continue.

I’m glad I never installed that shitty app

Sure, it'll just kill the app in the US because fascists lack any creativity so it'll become a stale echo chamber before people just leave

Oh sure, but it's the lefties who are in their echo chambers.

Had to leave Twitter when it became a Nazi site, I can leave TikTok to I guess.

Here's how this works:

1. Network is created that doesn't discriminate on speech.
2. The left wins debates and it becomes increasingly liberal over time.
3. Far right billionaires buy it to stop those process.

So, Trump effectively nationalized TikTok, valued at $300b. He sells it to friendly oligarchs for $15b. So far, this is basically the post-USSR playbook, and how Roman Abravmovich, Alisher Usmanov, Vladimir Lisin, etc. got so rich.

But it might piss off his oligarch buddies if he drives all the users off TikTok making what seemed like a steal into something worthless instead.

I never used it because of the Chinese government affiliation. I’d feel even less inclined to use it with maga affiliation.

In other words, trump says "Stop looking for the Epstein files!".

Gen Z is so dumb that they're all going to be Nazis is 6 months.

Unsurprising that a guy collapsing the Republic into a fascist dictatorship says that TikTok should be a mouthpiece for the Government. It's time for someone in a country that ISN'T the US, Russia, or China to start a TikTok rival for people to switch to.

Well, this is one way to kill tiktok

And there it is.

Precisely as WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO.

and that is what we call another piece of their propaganda machine

Bye bye tiktok then, fully right spaces never thrive

Loops and other fediverse platforms are more important than ever. We need independent social media - not billionaire owned platforms.

So desperate to propagandize the youth.

Yeah I just hope it kills the app, which I’m sure it will. I never began using it in the first place but seeing it take over all of my fellow Gen Z, you know, the same ones who have admitted to thinking politics don’t matter, won’t be very happy when their favorite app turns to even more utter trash

Hopefully this wins more minds away from social media and even more people can wake the fuck up here in Amerikkka.

Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% Epstein files”

hope he does it and it's the thing that kills tiktok.

Wow that sounds like a fun way to bankrupt another company

Whenever conservatives argue or demand that something be changed because they want it to .... you know that any change they make will only last as long as the money is flowing.

Fuck you orange cunt

This is nothing but outright propaganda designed to assert themselves in a good light.

America: you are fucked.

What can be done to let https://loops.video/ profit from this even more than mastodon profited from the end of Twitter?

MAGA youth recruitment and education platform

It's already shite, but why stop there!

If that's what it takes for people to stop using that stupid a** social media, I'm all for it.
