Not to worry. Just send the CCP your resume and add your social security number and all your screen names. They’ll send you a link to get the special sauce for free for life. Subsidized by poor Chinese rice farmers and anyone who believes in God.

My granddaughter dated a boy a teenager making videos and making money on TikTok he told me it gave him more money than You Tube would and so on.

Us old folks are *issing off young people with this TikTok schlock.

I can fully understand why President Trump wants to find a better way out than shutting it down.

Awww, weirdos and snowflakes have to go somewheres not so friendly? Boo hoo.

And, this is an ownership issue, not free speech.

President Trump is likely to give them more time to sell out to a company not based in China.

“I think that would be, certainly, an option that we look at. The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely done, because it’s appropriate. You know, it’s appropriate. We have to look at it carefully. It’s a very big situation,” Trump said in the phone interview.

“If I decide to do that, I’ll probably announce it on Monday,” he said

This is typical legal brinksmanship.

I would have based the suit on unjust confiscation of a revenue stream, not free speech.
