The message the TikTok app displays stoops to a new low to pander to Trump.

It's no wonder why Trump all of a sudden wants to "save" TikTok:

This one is especially damning:

TikTok is spending $50,000 on an inauguration party honoring influencers who helped Donald Trump spread his campaign message, according to the party organizer — and it’s scheduled for Sunday, the deadline for the company to spin off from its China-based owner or be banned in the U.S.

CEO Shou Zi Chew is expected to attend.

I did some research and now I know why Trump wants to "save" TikTok.

No wonder why Trump wants to "save" TikTok. It has the stuff Republicans crave.

That is awesome!!! That's how it should be done!

Of course, I wish people would be here instead of Reddit. I just figure we might as well try. It doesn't cost anything to copy and paste and press message the moderators. I doubt moderators would be considered problematic for doing this.

And this will lower my grocery prices how?

When I first saw the headline:

Trump action that ​'should send shivers up your spine'

Of course I thought which one? He does something like that everyday.

Yes I did read the article but they ought to pick a less clickbait headline.

Yes, we need stronger broadcast regulations and schools must do their best to equip students with the ability to recognize disinformation. Efforts in teaching won't be perfect especially at first but we must make progress.

Just so you all know the New York Post is a Rupert Murdoch (same person who owns Fox News) rag. According to Wikipedia it wasn't profitable from 1976 to 2022 perhaps even loosing up to $70 million a year. The reason why he ran it at a loss for so long is for influence. Prior to Murdoch's acquisition the "Post was seen to have liberal tilt, supporting trade unions and social welfare". Now it's a conservative trash rag.

Please use another source if you can.

I don't think Democrats hammered this point hard enough. There must be relentless attacks against every bad thing Republicans have done. In addition Democrats must aggressively campaign for their vision with strong simple words.

Democrats: Please remember this moment and when it comes time to the elections constantly repeat this on loop as much as possible. We must never forget this.

Protest quitting would require a large amount of people to do it at the same time. If only a few people quit it's a net loss because then the percentage of bad people is higher.

I hate how journalists keep repeating "presidential immunity" without explaining that presidential immunity doesn't apply when not in office. The hush money stuff happened before he was president.

There is hope. If you read the polls section of the article you will notice that the ruling was very unpopular among people of both parties (among common people, of course I feel that Republicans in office don't agree with their constituents). I think now is the time for a strong campaign fiance reform push. If we can't get it done at the federal level we shall try the state level.

I'm very surprised but this does seem possible: https://www.facebook.com/help/messenger-app/1526848634305688/

However if possible I think it would be good to try convincing your friends to switch to a more secure chat app such as Signal.

analysts expect minimal financial impact on Meta

Let's make the analysts wrong and boycott Meta products. Quit Facebook, Instagram and Threads.

There's a common saying; If 9 people sit down at a table with 1 Nazi without protest, there are 10 Nazis at the table. The people at Meta are like the 9 people, they pretend to act ignorant but they know exactly what they are doing. They care more about profits than they care about the country so we must make it so they loose big from this decision.

Everything under Trump seems to trace back to Putin. I think they are doing this to give false legitimacy to Putin's invasion into Ukraine. They will say "See? America is doing it so we can too".

I would love too. I really don't think America should invade any country. One thing everyone can do no matter what country they live in you can boycott Tesla and Twitter. Musk is going to be a major funder of the GOP so ending his propaganda megaphone and wealth could change the course of events.

You must have a "local" Sinclair-owned station I'm guessing.

If you were to block Fox you should also block other more extreme channels like Newsmax and OANN.
