They’re banning TikTok because they couldn’t buy it.

They bought Twitter.
They bought Facebook.
They bought Instagram.
They couldn’t buy TikTok, so they’re going to ban it.

“They” being MAGA. All the big platforms have bent the knee to the oligarchs, except TikTok. And look what happens.

It’s not about data. Facebook was sued (and paid out) $5 billion for the Cambridge Analytica scandal (which helped Cruz and Trump, btw), yet TikTok has never had a scandal like that. Twitter’s plainly overrun by Nazis and is the world’s biggest disinformation spreader.

It’s not about protecting the country. It’s about controlling us.
