    So when are we shutting down Facebook for their 2016 targeted ad campaign specifically meant to fuck with an election?

      I’m 100℅ in favor of breaking Facebook into 912 separate companies.

      But not having the current political power to get that done doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it to tik tok while we still have the power to.

        That’s not what they’re talking about doing. They want to sell TikTok to a US interest. Not 900 of them. This is literally a chance for Musk, Zuckerberg, Apple, and Alphabet to grab up the best short form video app for cheap.

        That’s all it is. It is incredibly corrupt and the state department calls that out in other countries all the time.
