I think TikTok is stupid and full of vain idiots and morons, but I feel that way about all social media.

Why should we ban it, because it’s owned by the CCP? So what... They get access to the data in millions of clowns’ accounts.

Good luck sorting through that!

Rand Paul backed by GOP donor with $33B TikTok stake

Sen. Rand Paul’s heated opposition to a TikTok ban startled Capitol Hill last week, but you could look at it as a straightforward case of following the money, according to insiders – in this case, the money of a major GOP donor who has $33 billion on the line.

The billionaire CEO of Susquehanna Financial Group has given Paul more than $10 million since 2020, according to election filings. His fund also owns a 15% stake in TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, that’s worth an estimated $33 billion.
