    He get's his first win with the youth today, well done, some may thing it's dumb, but a lot of people make a living off this app and Rand Paul said it best. Rand is the most consistent one in congress, the guy may be the only one protecting the constitution we have left. He's one of the few that will go against the party line and speak out what he believes is right and not follow the cult.

    What did Trump do, make them take out their spyware and promise not to do it again, or is there some monetary incentive?

    Trump delayed it, meaning he's not going to punish anyone for the app still being online. I believe the law would fined services providers 5000.00 a user that was online. 176,000,000 users

    Also watch Ran Paul's video, he sets the record straight, I was in AdTech for last 9 years and this was going to be a big blow for companies and users. Content creators make a lot of money, and the store sells a lot of products from American companies.

    As for as the preemptive pardons, good, I am not interested in going backwards anymore, it's time to move forward and fix the issues we have. I know I have learned the machine regardless who's running it can convict just about anyone.

    Common sense laws as President Trump states.

    I am moving forward and supporting those in office, if they do well JD gets my vote in 2028.

    Well if you watch Rand he pretty much stated congress was lying, it depends on who do you want to believe. Rand Paul or rest of congress.

    We have rewarded China since Regan took over, if they really wanted to get our data, they are, sure as hell are not using Tik Tok with dancing videos.

    Just because something makes money does not make it OK to ignore the damage it does.

    Agreed, what damage is Tik Tok doing? Do you know? I don't at this point, I have people in congress now telling me it does and Rand Paul saying they are all full of it.

    Damage YES!!! Put aside info, spying , government BS. There is a reason China does not allow their youth on it. I'm not on it but seem to run into the crazies daily from reposts on you tube. BTW you tube that allows that BUT, is shutting down organic and herb gardening channels as being " unsafe"

    Hey did he pardon all the "non for profits" dealing with illegals? That is where I want the DOJ to take their first drive.

    Bidens pardons his family - guess he has to protect them all from his and Hunters corruption when the $$ was funnelled through them

    you have to say "Chinese owned" Tik tok, so that way it is implied there is something nefarious going on with it.

    Just as the EU blames toktok for election interference in Romania , because a Romania first leader (& pro Trump) had the most votes- the Romanian courts found no RU interference on it. (the guilty party of election interference are the current Govt)
    this is what all good democratic parties do - they lie when an election doesn't go in their favor so they cry political interference, RU collusion / disinformation.
    Hilary Clinton anyone?
    They do not like social media as it means the facts / truth can be reported and not state run lies / propaganda that is then read on TV news and newspapers
    Look at Bidens censorship of all social media platforms & how he now says tech "oligarchs" threaten democracy. (so much for the First Amendment)
    Yet he has no problem with the military industrial complex and its rise of misplaced power (as Eisenhower warned 1961) - no doubt he sees it will be harder to "sell" a war through lies as Bush did re Iraq if social media can call them out on it.

    "The Trump-aligned Georgescu, widely accused by the mainstream media of pro-Russia views, was running on a very effective nationalist, pro-peace platform. He was set to win the second round on 8 December and become president – before the entire process was brought to a halt by the politically-appointed CCR justices, ostensibly because the 24 November result had somehow been vitiated by a Russian “influence operation”.The official claim of Russian meddling rested directly and exclusively on a specific set of intelligence documents on the matter, first submitted in a closed National Security Council meeting (28 Nov) and then hastily declassified on 04 Dec by the sitting President in order to “inform” the Constitutional Court’s decision. But the reports contained no actual evidence of the sort."
    Georgescu’s unexpected gains are partly linked to his social media strategy. He has used platforms like TikTok effectively
