Let's get this straight: MGX – a shady Abu Dhabi firm – cut deals to get sensitive American technology while enriching the Trump family’s crypto firm.

Now, Trump wants that same firm and his billionaire friends to control what you watch on TikTok?

What are we even doing here?

  1. Living in an authoritarian state in which all sources of information and speech platforms are slowly but surely being corrupted by the regime.

  2. Boycott Tik Tok! Dont put any more money into billionaires' pockets. Personally, I never had a Tik Tok account and can honestly say I have no desire to now.

  5. Boycotting tik toc is what we should be doing here. Driving them out of business and creating a better, more equitable, alternative.

  6. I'm so glad I never registered for a TikTok account. People just need to get off all these platforms and collectively create their own that's isn't stealing your content and being tampered with by butthead billionaire tech bros. More complicated than it sounds, but could be well worth it. Oh BlueSky

    China (authoritarian), replaced by (authoritarian) Abu Dhabi. (Per AI) Abu Dhabi's authoritarians:

    • Absolute monarchy
    • Rulers control: Executive, legislative, judicial power
    • Suppress dissent: restrict freedom of speech, arrest critics, activists, academics,
    • Laws forbid criticism of government

  8. Congress paved the way for this to happen by falling for the "OMG CHINA IS SPYING ON US THROUGH THE TIKKITOK" bullshit. Now it's going to end up another rightwing propaganda outlet like Facebook and X.

  9. When those generals and admirals meet with Hegseth next week and he demands a loyalty oath from them, have them immediately arrest trump and all of his entourage. Remove his picks from the Supreme Court.

    Watching Hitler 2.0 consolidate power. And doing very little to stop it.

    Tut wants all things Earth 🌎 2 matrix, 😎 to be full bloom; gloom & doom ! Unless you're 1% rich, you'll pay through the nose in the cost of living towards death.

    Tut's administration will gain as special donors, as once Vegas hoods; as profiteers

  16. Delete TikTok. There are healthier ways to get your quick release endorphins instead of scrolling on your phone by an app run by authoritarians and billionaires.

  17. Making certain their purchase of TikTok turns out to be a terrible investment as we move on to yet another social network?

  18. This is truly despicable, but not surprising. We have a president who is not capable of prioritizing the needs and concerns of the American people. If you are starting to feel defeated, don’t, because the law is still on the side of the people, and it is we, the people, who still hold the power.

    Felon trump is selling America's national security, secrets, etc. to put money in his pocket. America is so weak right now, it's just pitiful that we are allowing it to happen. WE THE PEOPLE need to stand up.

  20. Once the dems are back, we need to make sure this crap is investigated and prosecuted very publicly. Everyone needs to know what is behind the curtain.

  21. There's gigantic corruption going on under the hood.

    Can you please do something about it senator? The US was a place of "law and order"; with Trump, it's become "evil and chaos".

  22. We’re preparing to watch the 4th quarter of Project 2025 Senator. The tear it all down phase. Position themselves for martial law and shut the whole thing down! The meeting with Hegseth? Force the military to cooperate. Whoever doesn’t will not get paid!

  23. Make sure you NEVER EVER EVER accuse another country of corruption again because your country is apparently and hypocritical joke.

  24. They can have it. There will be others. TT is not the same. It's definitely not worth fighting for.
