The free speech video platform Rumble has offered to buy TikTok, as legislation moves through Congress that would see the popular social media platform banned in the US if parent company ByteDance does not divest from TikTok
In the event that ByteDance divests its ownership in TikTok, Rumble is ready to join a consortium with other parties seeking to acquire and operate TikTok inside the United States. Specifically, we are ready to serve as a cloud technology partner," a letter from Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski to TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew states.
Sell before the lose it? Fun fact, it’s in widespread use around the world, and VPNs exist.
Bullcrap. Who has been suspended? Trump content abounds, Candace Owen, any conservative you can think of in Congress, Parents fighting school boards over perversion, CPAC, firebrand sheriffs, Jordan Peterson, you name it, they are all there.
Tell me who was banned?
It’s far more conservative saturated than X...
Not true. Yes, it's true that anyone can get suspended. But there's a lot of MAGA content on TikTok. I'm there all the time so I can vouch for myself.
Rumble and Tiktok have virtually no use for me. Despite the censoring, I still spend 90% of my time online watching Youtube. And no, I have never registered at any of them.
Joe Rogan, Alan West etc. Looking around it seems that accusation is pushed by Fox News (willing tools of the deep state)
The actual risk America faces is our security state apparatus and its ability for mass surveillance through mandated backdoors, and pressuring American companies into censorship and domestic spying. THEY are the enemy that can send a wat teal to your door.
You are being foolish and are being duped. DC doesn’t care about our Labs, the FBI, the Navy and Air Force, the universities, our tech industry and corporations, etc all being filled with Chinese nationals. PLA marches across our border in tens of thousands. Half of Congress and Biden have Chinese staff members. Swalwell had a PLA officer screwing him. Hell, San Francisco just appointed a red Chinese citizen to run the board of elections. Chinese women come here for birth tourism.
Laughably, half the congressfools pushing this and people clamoring now are using IPhones made in China to do it. Now THAT’S secure lol.
DC doesn’t care about any of that. But now suddenly, they go after TikTok to “protect America”. Yeah sure... I gotta bridge to sell you.
Zuckerberg and Big Tech didn’t like the competition, TikTok was kicking their ass worldwide in growth and use. So Zuckey and the gay bay called their congressfools to stop them.
The moral panic over TikTok is also designed to deflect from this last year where the X-files proved the degree of FBI influence over US social media. Elon said it was run as a virtual FBI subsidiary and they even had offices in the building.
Don’t do the work of the police state for them.

BREAKING: TikTok Disables Kyle Rittenhouse’s Account, Changes Name So It Can’t Be Searched
https://nationalfile.com/breaking-tiktok-disables-kyle-rittenhouses-account-changes-name-cant-searched/
Social media platform TikTok has disabled the account belonging to Kyle Rittenhouse, shortly after Rittenhouse made an appearance at Turning Point USA’s Americafest.
Rittenhouse’s original TikTok account, with the infamous username 4doorsmorewhores, was also banned by the platform in 2020
China can’t send a SWAT team to your door.
I have an idea. Lets go to the damp basement closets where J6 protesters are rotting away without trial and ask them if they think TikTok is the greatest danger to America.
All of these bipartisan Congressmen pushing this ban... they are all silent about the J6 hostages.
I just looked and see a ton of Rittenhouse Content. And with a screen name with “whores” in it, of course that name was banned. Think you could get a screen name here at FR with that?
And Crowder was banned after he got caught on video berating his pregnant wife.
TikTok is a pretty normal place. It’s obvious you don’t go there. Or if you do, you go to search for ghetto twerking vids etc. If a normal person goes there and starts selecting what they like it’s a great app. In fact, it’s the only one that a session leaves you feeling better, with maybe some thought provoking thing you spend rest the day thinking about.
DC and the police state is lying to you.
Authoritarian governments point to dire external threats to justify further crackdowns. See “1984 by Orwell”, see “The Case for Democracy” by Natan Scharansky.
DC is planning further depredations and stolen elections. So they are “protecting us from foreign TikTok”.
Classic dictatorship behavior.
I’m pretty sure TikTok is worth more than the ~$40 billion Musk paid for Twitter.
_____________________________________________
I’m pretty sure you’re right. I looked it up. Tik Tok generates 25 Billion annually in revenue.
Tick-tock has 200 billion market cap. So no, rumble with its 200 million is not going to buy it. Do you even math bro?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, but how much will Tikki be worth if it is completely banned here in the US? Looks to me like US interests, including Zuck, are pushing Tik out.
Forcing a fire sale. And Rumble is tossing out a ridiculous low ball offer.
NO WAY the commies give up that propaganda tool. China knows how powerful it is to control the minds of young kids.
Rumble CEO just said they have a “large partner” in the potential tik tok buy
