I say we make him Emperor of Mars and blast him over there with some of his followers that can afford the ticket.

Being fined for not doing what the people in power what them to.

No other explanation makes sense to me.

Nothing has changed, Trump isn’t president yet. There was no reason that they had to shut down. Yet they shutdown anyway, for like 12 hours. The same 12 hours that a majority of Americans are sleeping… Seems obvious what happened.

My guess is that they are complying with the law and that Tiktok and Meta signed an MOU, so now they can have their extension.

My rationale is that FB made a Tiktok account yesterday, and started allowing people to link their accounts to tiktok. Then when Tiktok came back online Shou’s profile no longer said CEO.

I actually think Meta bought it. Facebook made a tiktok account yesterday, and Shou’s profile no longer says “CEO” as of today.

I didn’t even want Tiktok to be banned in the first place… but even I can see how dangerous this is.

They have must have assets in the US, as they have 7,000 US employees. So they could easily just go after those.

Is there an android app yet?

Whose subsidiary Bytedance?

People are reporting that Meta platforms just started allowing users to link their tiktok accounts a few days ago… take that for what you will.

Yup. They even asked for clarification on the “no enforcement” and the Biden administration basically just said “it is what it is”.

What big company is going to take a risk like that?

I was spamming ActivityPub info through last day on every comment.

I find Tiktok haters funny. Vast majority aren’t users, and when you do find a user and they disparage the content, it’s pretty obvious that it’s a them problem and not a tiktok problem.

If you want tiktok to be cooking videos, just like nothing but cooking videos. If you want it to be about palestine, then like that content. If you want to be in MAGAtok, well that exists too. If you see nothing but thirst traps, that’s because those are the videos you actually fully watch. Your fyp page is just a mirror into yourself.

The only haters I can agree with are the ones who say “too many ads”

I was spamming info about ActivityPub… found out there is a delay timer if you post too many comments lol.

So I am assuming most Lemmy people don’t use Tiktok or Meta stuff. Here is some things you may or may not already know.

• Shou (CEO) made a parting video praising Trump on the last day
• Shou will be on the stage with all the other tech billionaires during inauguration
• People have noticed the last couple days that FB and Instagram have had a “link your Tiktok account” so you don’t lose anything on the platform

I think it’s pretty obvious now that Tiktok is going to become a part of Meta one way or another.

This gives me ideas…

Maybe a strawberry on a fishing pole strapped in front of it too then?

Lucky for them, the US gave them 18 billion dollars since they started their genocide efforts.

I am sure the >$1M US paid creator’s mental health is healing real good right now with their loss of revenue steam.

Or any of the 7,000 US employees who have ownership in the company.

Thanks!
