Another taco moment.
Coming soon: A Tiktoker’s Top 10 Tiktok TACO Moments.
So like funding the government, we now have to kick the can down the road for TikTok every few months instead of actually dealing with it.
Is this more TACO? Sounds like it.
Don’t feel like enforcing a law Congress passed? Just hit pause!
Someone smarter than me needs to look at S*uth D@kota and help put the pieces of this odd puzzle together. (Made a new acct just in case I’m on to something here.)
This university is well known for its cyber-security work with the feds and happens to be working mighty closely with the current SD governor (probably with the help of crusty gnome herself) and some big-talking billionaire to try to buy Tiktk.
If you thought Amazon was bad… A “public-private partnership?” God knows what that would mean for controlling the algorithm and extracting data from unwitting users, i.e. a shitton of Americans.
Fun fact: Just up the road, a massive multi-billion-dollar data center is planned and the company, Applied Tech (which looks like a front tbh), is currently trying to get zoning laws passed in a county of a few thousand people, a county whose board of potential rubes doesn’t understand tech to the point their commission meeting minutes were auto-recovered according to the downloaded file name.
Wanna bet the new power plant planned to go up nearby exists almost exclusively to power this data center’s virtually unlimited crypto mining operation primarily publicized as “just doing AI stuff”?
A final fun fact for good measure: S.D. is a tax safe haven for corporations and is also one of only a few places where “dynasty trusts” can exist in perpetuity.
Maybe it’s all a coincidence, but it sure seems like all of this put together spells disaster. How much dark money stands to hide in SD and places like it? Exactly how would the state’s regulations (i.e. the lack thereof) facilitate this Tktk “rehoming” scheme seemingly filled with ill intent?
The TACO might just be pushing the deadline off so that the feds can get their ducks in a row in how they, too, can capitalize on this venture.
The crusty gnome clearly sold out the state for something. Technocracy perhaps?
TACO!
What does a sitting president have to do with the sale of a foreign company?
About 6 months ago, legislation was passed mandating tiktok be sold to an american company. Biden signed the legislation but declined to force the sale, Trump has continued to not enforce the sale while adding his dramatic flair and likely looking for kickbacks as well. Basically no one is willing to take the massive hit that would come from actually enforcing the ban.
This shouldn’t be decided by politicians.
I’m just filling in the details, no opinion as I don’t personally use it (or facebook, etc).
Oh I know. I was just making a statement about it.
Taco yum
He’s hoping for a bigger bribe.
this administration has no idea what the fuck they’re doing
It’s an artform really
