    This was in January, when Tiktok was set to be banned (by Trump in his first term, but it kept getting extended, then magically Trump saved Tiktok (from himself)! And Tiktok did everything it could to make him look like a hero. Also used it a bit during 2024 for my business, and let me tell you, say something leftist = banned. Mention Palestine= banned. Criticize Trump = banned. Report hate speech = “We found nothing wrong”. Report fake news = “We found nothing wrong”. Report violent calls to action against the left = “We found nothing wrong”. So yeah I could go on, but it’s very obviously been a maga platform since at least 2024. But nothing is ever enough for them.

      Shit. Thanks for that info. I’ve never used it but figured I would’ve heard about news like this. Guess not

        Oh! And I forgot that tiktok came back the very next day, still before Trump’s inauguration, thanking Trump.
