There is so much money in the table here you got to think something happens but 90 days is crazy to get something done. If you follow it back - he was for the ban until March and then changed his mind. It's not exactly clear what happened. Quote Trump's TikTok ban reversal comes after meeting megadonor who has stake in TikTok As Donald Trump reverses his position on potentially banning TikTok ahead of an expected House vote this week on legislation that could lead to it being blocked in the U.S., the former president has been rebuilding his relationship with a GOP megadonor who reportedly has a major financial stake in the popular social media platform. Trump met with the donor, hedge fund manager Jeff Yass, earlier this month at a Club for Growth donor retreat in Palm Beach, Florida, on March 1. Yass, who did not respond to a request for comment on Monday, owns a significant stake in in TikTok's China-based parent company ByteDance, The Wall Street Journal reported last year.

Mike Honcho 5,281 Posted January 17 8 minutes ago, RaiderHaters Revenge said: there has never been a proposal to ban, just divest Quote This bill prohibits distributing, maintaining, or providing internet hosting services for a foreign adversary controlled application (e.g., TikTok). However, the prohibition does not apply to a covered application that executes a qualified divestiture as determined by the President. Under the bill, a foreign adversary controlled application is directly or indirectly operated by (1) ByteDance, Ltd. or TikTok (including subsidiaries or successors that are controlled by a foreign adversary); or (2) a social media company that is controlled by a foreign adversary and has been determined by the President to present a significant threat to national security. The prohibition does not apply to an application that is primarily used to post product reviews, business reviews, or travel information and reviews. The bill authorizes the Department of Justice to investigate violations of the bill and enforce the bill's provisions. Entities that violate the bill are subject to civil penalties based on the number of users. The bill requires a covered application to provide a user with all available account data (including posts, photos, and videos) at the user's request before the prohibition takes effect. The bill gives the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia exclusive jurisdiction over any challenge to the bill. Further, a challenge to the bill must be brought within 165 days after the bill's enactment date. A challenge to any action, finding, or determination under the bill must be brought with 90 days of the action, finding, or determination. You hear everyone, it's not a ban at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once trump "saves" TikTok he will then own TikTok, X, Facebook, Instagram and of course truth social. None of which will fact check anything he or his minions say.

He's already in bed with the CCP. I'm sure after he buys it they will get more data and have more influence over us. Might as well rename social media to maga media.
