Is he not the very same president who tried to ban it before?

[-] orclev@lemmy.world 57 points 3 days ago

Yes, but now the cheque cleared. Or he's just trying to suck up to Xi, you know one or the other.

[-] Wisely@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Or he can use it and adjust the algorithms to promote himself. Probably use for surveillance too

"Buy my commemorative coins, the best coins, for the new present the true present, there shouldn't have been another one but there was and that's ok we will let them do that but they shouldn't have done it but it's ok because I'm back now on tictoc shop" - DJ Trump

[-] ChocolateTeapot@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Probably both!

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

I remember him wanting to ban it before.

Inconsistency is the only thing Trump can be counted on to do reliably.

TikTok!? Who gives a shit? How about save Palestine first?

If you were under the illusion that Trump is going to improve the situation for the Palestinians in any way, I have a bridge to sell you...

[-] expr@programming.dev 38 points 2 days ago

It's delusional to think he was ever going to do anything but accelerate the genocide.

[-] femtech@midwest.social 27 points 3 days ago

He is going to help pave over Palestine, not save it.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

They're closely related issues. Zios have been trying to ban TikTok because of the unfiltered coverage of Palestine.

[-] Joker@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago

TikTok is more important apparently.

[-] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

He definitely not going to do that

[-] TseseJuer@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago

[-] Dsklnsadog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 days ago

No thanks, we're good.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 2 days ago

Good.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

What part is good? That he vowed to force ownership into U.S. hands for security reasons, or that now he vowed to stop himself?
