The whole thing? No. The 14 hour temper tantrum? Absolutely.
Tiktok is an app for stupid people so naturally stupid people would be more gullible.
If it's that problematic with propaganda then banning it after an election was a meaningless gesture. It served it's purpose and reversing the ban was simply transactional. They paid money and kissed the ring.
This man will always be a moron.
If so, it didn't work. It made him look dimwitted and easily swayed.
Both of which, he is.
Only to people who aren't complete fucking morons. Which, doesn't seem to be enough.
While the whole situation is shitty, I find it hard to believe a massive company would shut down services for 12 hours, losing millions in revenue and likely millions of users, all as a PR stunt for a foreign leader.
