Let's take it from the top

(January 19,2025)

TikTok “miraculously” came back online this morning, not even 24 hours after ByteDance took it offline for the U.S.A. preemptively before the ban officially even took effect.

The pop up when I opened the app read:

This is a nightmare. Zuckerbug, Bezos, et al have already bent the knee.

Zuckerberg is clearly aiming to be a Trump partnership, and probably trying to bide his time and boot out Elon Musk. ByteDance clearly licked Trump’s boots now too, and I feel really good about my earlier decision to delete all my social media accounts and get the hell out of there. The ads, distraction, emotional yanking, misinformation, censorship, and propaganda are going to get so much worse.
