Trump Tik Tok

1. I dont have and plan never will.
2. Trump plans to ban it with executive order


Let that sink in for a sec.

He will try to ban an app used for communicating.


Freedom of speech

What is it for him to try to shutdown our site we use to communicate with?

Everyone should be concerned with that.

Yes we have heard how they are potentially stealing data. So does Facebook and other apps. You have always be cautious what you do online.

The courts are the place to DECIDE on issues like this, not in a losing candidate realm of power.

Eh. You take their toys away and they are going to throw a fit

I’m just saying. People, even older people, like the tik tok. It’s fun with the dancing and stuff.
We are a bit conditioned to accept that our inform is just out there anyway so a lot of people aren’t going to get that it’s a big deal.

Is he going to punish people for having it? Is he going to filter every internet stream going around the world? What the fuck is this idiot even talking about?

Or thinks he already is.

How on earth are all of his "directives" even legal? An why are people in government obeying illegal orders?

Civil liberties union even made a statement towards what this idiot's claiming he going to do today.

What is astounding is Florida, a swing state now, is getting tore up by a hurricane TODAY, yet he is focusing on an APP that is being widely used.
