Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without

The Supreme Court ruled against TikTok on Friday, rejecting the social media company’s First Amendment challenge to the law that effectively bans it in the U.S. starting on Sunday. The government feared the popular app, used by 170 million Americans, could be influenced by China. nyti.ms/3C9o1AX

Reminder: it’s not a ban. It’s a forced sale. TikTok could have found a buyer, but instead decided to play chicken.
Grindr had to sell, too, because of Chinese ownership. And it wasn’t at all controversial.
