But I mean for fuck sakes people. What did you think was going to happen?
I would pay good money for a magic Ray that forced Trump voters to explain the actual reason they voted for him.

It's a useful tool for his foreign propaganda, but he knows that if TikTok goes dark it's a political disaster. Xi's using this as leverage to get concessions in other areas.

And... Trump gets editorial control and preferred feed placement, Pam Bondi gets warrant-less access to all user data, Stephen Miller gets control of (shadow) banning people and Karoline Leavitt is in charge of "fact checking" ... And JD? Nothing, no one likes him. :-)
