Yesterday night it broke that Trump made his next move against the Constitution and the 1st Amendment as he signed an "Executive Order" to ban the app, TikTok in the next 45 days...If it is not sold to a U.S. company it's banned...And adding to the oddness of all this, he is demanding the the U.S. Treasury gets a cut of the sale....WTF.....You can go through my previous posts to see more of his moves attacking our Constitutional rights...
Now honest to god, I have no idea how a president can just ban an app...Are the Feds going to knock on my door and delete TikTok from my daughters iPhone? How does the government have access to shut down a private company's app from working just on American phones...You know, American phones made in China...And China is his big excuse, saying that TikTok is a "Trojan Horse" for Chinese hackers to steal our information...You know the same information we put on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snap Chat, iTunes, Band Camp, our Netflix account...Who remembers My Space? Whatever other fucking app is out there?
Thing is, why would China want to hack TikTok'ers? The average users of TikTok range in the ages of 15-25....They have no credit, money, plenty of student loan debt...There isn't much worth hacking into there...
The fact is we all know Trump has been pissed since those pesky kids on TikTok fooled his Campaign into thinking millions of supports were coming to his rally in Tulsa...Nope! Just about 6,000 people showed up...Not very impressive when you realize I get 6,000 pageviews just by putting Kate Upton's picture in one of my posts...Since then he's been bitching about TikTok and spewing this unsubstantiated story about it all being a cover for Chinese hackers...
Now for the VERY interesting part of this story...Mark Zuckerberg has often, very sheepishly defended Trump...And while him and his crew at Facebook/Instagram have pushed stronger fact-checking on Facebook and Instagram, for us regular folks and media sites, Zuckerberg has openly said he does not support fact checking what politicians post.. .After weeks of Trump spewing his nonsense about TikTok, the same day he signs an executive order to ban it, Instagram launches a new feature on their platform called "Reels"...It's their version of TikTok...
A couple of things seem clear to me here...1. Trump and Zuckerberg clearly colluded to fuck with one of Zuckerberg's top two competitors...2. They probably suck each others little cocks...3. Those kids on TikTok really got in Trump's kitchen and they need to not stop...Keep doing your thing on TikTok, but make sure you post that shit on IG Reels too...Tweet it, @ Trump...Hashtag the fuck out of the orange criminal fucker...Don't stop being disruptive...Now more than ever.
