I almost had a vomiting reflex. It is now pretty obvious that the whole thing was intended from the beginning to suck the small trump dick hard.

I never had tiktok and now have a superiority complex.

They're now also censoring pro-Palestine content.

Oh gee. Why would they ever do that?! Tik tok promised me free speech!

I mean Google Play did disable downloading it with a freeze warning about the ongoing issue.

Sucking up to Trump is exactly what any company would do right now if they want to ensure further existence and business. Musk and Zuck flipped even faster.

tbh I don't think it would have been that much different under Biden because he did say he wasn't interested in enforcing the ban which means he was also probably trying to negotiate TikTok to give partial ownership to someone in the USA. Either that or he lied for optics which is also nothing new lol.

Not really, US propaganda, so much as Trump propaganda.

Just about everything he's done for the past decade has shown the interests of the two are mutually exclusive.

Trump is now the US President. It is now the case that "flattering the US" means "flattering Trump". Sucks

Just a matter of time, when this is basically the same. Depending on your definition, it could already be the same...

It was Trump's efforts that led to it being banned in the first place

Correct, the whole thing was a long con so he could look like the big damn hero
