Ellison and Murdoch don't need to interfere with all posts on TikTok to have a an oversize impact on its users. It was never about the Chinese influence, but about bringing that influence operation home under the conservatives media machine's control.
TikTok users could now “get the editorial policies of the people who now have control of the company,” EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social told @APNews.com. "It won’t be 100% MAGA (Trump said). The question is how it will treat criticism of him and people he likes.”

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

The Second Amendment wasn’t written for executive orders and barbed wire around the Capitol—it was written to ensure a well-regulated militia that answers to the people and their states. Today, that balance is being pulled apart. My latest:
