Yeah, we should've all had "Tiktok is actually going to work with Trump to make him the hero" on our Bingo cards, but we didn't. No ban has been enforced, they did not have to go dark. They chose to, and now it's becoming apparent why.
Can you really blame TikTok for trying to appease Trump to get the ban thrown out after the ban was passed with the Democrats in power? It's self-preservation at this point, and not even the bullshit "pre-compliance" that some newspapers or Meta re doing. Their options are appease Trump or never do business in the US.
Trump was the one who pushed for the ban in the first place.
Trump actually signed an exec order to ban it that got halted in court and then when Biden took office he removed it
Biden specifically says he's not enforcing the ban while he's in power.His ass is out in two days lol
Tiktok chooses to go dark anyway, posting a message kissing Trump's ass.Well yeah, they want him to completely stop the legislation so there's no uncertainty for their business. We all know how quid pro quo Trump is.
Trump was the one who pushed for the ban in the first place.So what? Trump also pushed for the Covid vaccine. It doesn't mean anything. Biden's administration took ownership of and passed the legislation.
"This must be the Democrats' fault!"Yes, they literally passed the law. They made the choice to take ownership of Trump's never-realized idea for themselves thus handing him the opportunity to capitalize on them passing such unpopular legislation. They made themselves an enemy of a popular social media company and gave that company a reason to bat for Trump. You word it like Biden did them a major solid and kindness for not enforcing his own legislation in the last two damn days of his term. He put them in the position for the next administration to end their business in the US in the first place!

Did Tiktok HAVE to go dark, now? Yes or no?YES
Literally just answer this question:No, which I already acknowledged in that post. They are making the strategic choice to flatter Trump to maximize the chance of him getting the law repealed entirely.

YES
THEY MUST
Deadline set by Supreme Court is January 19th
Trump's never-realized idea
On August 6, Trump signed an executive order banning the platform in 45 days if it were not sold by ByteDance; Trump also signed a similar order against the WeChat application owned by the Chinese multinational company Tencent.[43][44] On August 14, Trump issued a new executive order giving ByteDance 90 days to sell or spin off its U.S. TikTok business. In the order, Trump said that there is "credible evidence" that ByteDance "might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States."[45] On August 17, Oracle entered the race to buy TikTok's operations in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, working with U.S. investorsincluding General Atlantic and Sequoia Capital, who own stakes in TikTokto secure a bid.[46]
No, which I already acknowledged in that post. They are making the strategic choice to flatter Trump to maximize the chance of him getting the law repealed entirely.
The Supreme Court didn't set any deadline. All they ruled was that it was legal to do so, they didn't rule on anything beyond that.https://deadline.com/2025/01/tiktok-supreme-court-law-upheld-1236257547/
Try again.

U.S. Supreme Court on Friday upheld a lower court ruling that the app owned by Chinas ByteDance must sell itself or be banned in the U.S. on January 19 due to national security concerns.
who is enforcing this?
Who set the ban?

You didn't answer my question
You didn't answer my question either
And bonus question, why do you think they set it at that date? Not after Trump took power?

Yes.i understand what youre saying.
Because if the enforcer says they aren't enforcing it, then it's not a law.
Glad you caught up.
You guys lost your minds
They set the law, but you guys told to ignore the laws because there's no enforcer yet.
Now what should TikTok do?
Follow the law= you did this to yourself!
Ignore the law = you broke the law, we will sue the shit out of you!

But why did Biden sign off on it in the first place? This wouldnt be happening at all if he didnt
posting a message kissing Trump's ass.Theres no way you actually believe that message was doing that.

We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office
The message could have been "We are fortunate that President Biden has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok" in a universe where everything goes right.
then Trump bans it anyways kek
