Need more info on this one,but folks are saying TikTok times out in the US on Sunday. For an app that large and politically contentious, it seems like we would be hearing more about this if it is true. But, so many big things are happening in the news right now, its conceivable that the TikTok news is getting pushed down. This X poster has a better than most track record. https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1879392171603923091

I have heard there is a group of buyers lobbying to keep it going for 90 days while they work on purchasing.

Instagram/Facebook Reels and YouTube Shorts are virtually the exact same layout and content. The folks that are addicted to it will still spend hours with their face buried in a phone
With that said, I’ll be shocked if it actually goes away. I’ll believe it when I see it

I opened a Tik Tok account about 6 months ago to see what all the fuss was about. I was on it for about three weeks and saw a video of Biden. The very first time I commented on a video was when I said that he couldn’t grab his own a$$ with both hands. Tik Tok notified me that my account had been banned for life. That was all I needed to know about that mess.

Something is stinking with this obviously, which is why I brought it up like I did. Its being covered by the regular news in the way it is supposed to be covered, but stories about it are being restricted and subdued by the tech companies. Throttling, shadow banning, redirecting feeds, etc. Stuff we all are able to see more clearly now that we are aware of it happening. If you look at the trending lines on X at the stories which are lifted to the top over others you can see it. That is the exact same thing that the other tech company thought-control monsters all do. It very clearly means, somebody in the tech mass media World is about to make a play to control it. Also, because the tiktok story is being subdued on X then it probably means that somebody connected to X is probably going to buy or gain control over TikTok. Heavily covered story? Yes. Heavily distributed story? Sorta. Thats how the algorithm game works. Whoever the new guy is, I am 100% certain we will strongly approve of that person here. Saying otherwise will be like saying bad things about Melania. If you think I am wrong, lets talk about the bridges I have for sale.

I heard on the radio this morning about RedNote. They were saying they don't allow liberal stuff. Tictoc for conservatives. It is Chinese too. Wash rinse repeat.

And they get to decide what is "Liberal" ? sounds like censorship? YUP, with a Capital YUP! They are altering the language in real time in front of our eyes. Liberals are co-opting Conservative language as usual, and Conservatives (who naturally conform) are encouraging it.

Even if TikTok becomes restricted Sunday, it would not be irreversible.
A subsequent opinion from the court striking down the law would restore TikTok nationwide.
ByteDance could also reverse course and agree to divest from the platform. The company has insisted it is not feasible, though several investors have expressed interest in buying the video-sharing platform.
If the company begins an effort to divest, President Biden would then have the authority to issue a 90-day delay of the ban to first allow the process to move forward.

Supreme Court upholds the ban/shut down
They push it back to the legislative/executive branches to resolve

Has anybody asked about their business license? They do have one. Whatever state it is in, can probably just revoke it.
