Wasn't it his idea to ban it in the first place, to try and force a sale to a US company? Given that hasn't seemed to have worked, I wonder what changed to make him change his mind, was it just that Biden went through with it, or did they bribe him, or maybe just so he can go tell users that he "saved" one of their favorite social media apps?

A narcissist taking something away and then giving it back is a common manipulative tactic used to control their victim[s] by creating a cycle of dependence & uncertainty.

Yes. And he won the popular vote, and thinks TikTok had a hand in it.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm thinking he saw some youth votes in there. OTOH, now the election is over, what have they to offer him? He doesn't make a move without promise of loyalty or payment.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He has an account on there

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago

God fuck me, it's probably that simple. Yes, his team was using TikTok for campaigning.

Just when you thought trump's dick couldn't get any smaller.

And somehow keeps getting sucked. Fuck this stupid country. Wish I could leave.

He's literally not even president yet

the only thing missing here is a little banner ad for $diapercoins

First video that popped up was AOC talking about how insidious this exact message is.

Make America China Again?

Is this a real screenshot or an edit based off the previous "Tik Tok isn't available" message? I can't check as I am not in the USA.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 13 points 1 day ago

100% real

[–] Branch_Ranch@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Can confirm, i got the exact same pop-up.

[–] llkkjjhhggffddssaa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago

Can confirm it’s real; went to check myself out of suspicion.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 2 points 1 day ago

don't let them fool you, tin foil hat is shorthand for crazy because it works.

I'll just leave this here...

YouTube is probably going to be the next platform to entrumpify
