1. Pres Trump brought this up and was ridiculed and chastised by many

2. Noem and, now, Hogan are banning TikTok from government issued phones….WOW!!!

I may not know all the ins and outs, but I know this….TOO LATE.

If the Chinese are using that app to spy they already have the access they need. Allowing folks to have any of the apps, Facebook-Twitter-Instagram-Snapchat-TikTok, provided they portal the Chinese use to get in everything.

Think of it like one of those spyware or key logger viruses that a hacker can put on your computer.

Give someone a Government phone, allow them to have any of these apps on it and the Chinese, or any other bad actor, can now get into text messages and emails. Get into that and they can learn everything.

Look at what those Palestinian guys did by having access to emails. Stuff we’ll never be allowed to know about.

>> TikTok represents a “national security risk” to the United States.

Because China has every American babe twerking... ???

Are you swallowing this narrative like a whore on is a busy Friday night?

How does eliciting foolish behavior compromise the otherwise random information posted on TikTok?

Well, it doesn’t

We should ALL be thankful for what Musk has done, knowingly or unknowingly. He has opened a new front, complimenting what Trump has been saying for YEARS. The corruption in our government is unimaginable!!! I’m not sure all the king’s horses and all the king’s men can straighten our Humpty Dumpty government without President Trump.

Trump banned it.

Biden rescinded the ban in 2021.

I’m not voting for Desantis-Noem.

Perhaps he’s being sarcastic.

“but I know this….TOO LATE.”

No doubt.

I just read about zero click exploits. We’re burnt.

I am on Twitter several times a day and there is clearly a shift toward more open discussions (and many banned accounts are now live again). This leads one to believe that there has been a change in "control" (and that change certainly appears to line up with Elon's stated goals).

If the DHS/gov't controls Twitter, why is the shift to "free speech" permitted?

That change casts doubt on this article's accuracy.

Yup. The phones are compromised even if the app is deleted. Need to issue new phones with a white list of approved apps that con be loaded onto them.

Then the old phones should be bricked.

Still banned.

Now I’m wondering, if the ban is ever lifted, if I really want to go back...

Late to the party.

If you concur with my researched assessment, then what you see being released by Elon Musk in the Twitter Files is actually a filtered outcome as a result of this new ownership dynamic.

Put simply, DHS is mitigating any consequential public exposure by controlling and feeding Mr. Musk selected information about prior Twitter operations.

This piece was published yesterday. I think this article, published late yesterday, might be relevant:

Elon Musk fires Twitter's general counsel and ex-fbi official James Baker
