Yeah, but didn't he recently meet with the owners of tick tock? I'm sure some money greased his slimy brain

YASS he sure did meet with one of the owners
Jeffrey Yass, it was Jeffrey Yass, some billionaire investor who just so happened to be a big campaign donor

Seems to me that the supreme court shouldnt be able to be “urged” to rule the wants of an executive

Have you not been paying attention? They’re just an old and shitty theatre troupe performing the whims of the highest bidder.

Given tiktok isnt a Chinese company by any possible definition that doesn't label all Asians as Chinese, no not really.

You're telling me that Bytedance Ltd, headquartered in Beijing, founded and partially owned by two Chinese people, is not a Chinese company?

It's sad that most people don't know that a plurality isn't the same thing as a majority

Weird to see trump and the ACLU on the same side for a change.
Doomsider@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1y
ACLU is against it due to principals of freedom of speech not that TikTok is some worthwhile company.
Trump is against it because he wants a big bribe for them to continue to operate. He has always been a blackmail king so this is right up his alley.

It's like RFK trying to ban medical commercials. I agree with him under this one circumstance, but for entirely different reasons lol.
