Trump administration reportedly negotiating an Oracle takeover of TikTok tcrn.ch/4azJ5gB

@TechCrunch ByteDance is not going to agree to that.

@weyoun6 @TechCrunch Well they have to do something in Trump's massive interest or they'll be banned again. I thought they were getting sold to Mrta based on how they won't let you criticize Meta now.

@immibis @TechCrunch legally, they're currently banned. And they will shut down again in the US once they reach the end of "negotiations" with Trump. Both sides have been clear about what they want and there is no space for compromise.

@weyoun6 @immibis @TechCrunch Americans hopped over to RedNote, though it seems to have declined somewhat, and began to see that China is not what they’ve been told. I see more and more videos on YouTube showing some rather stark differences from the poorer quality of life here in the US. Add what’s happening with #deepseek and it becomes easier to see just how full of shit our (US) government and media have become.

@zenmorph @immibis @TechCrunch it's been a positive cultural interchange. However, RedNote falls under the jurisdiction of the PAFACA so its ban is forthcoming.

@weyoun6 @zenmorph @TechCrunch they'll just move to Bluenote then Greennote then Yellownote
@zenmorph @weyoun6 @TechCrunch Let's not forget that China is a totalitarian dictatorship, but the difference now is, the USA is also a totalitarian dictatorship. It seems that right now USA social media is about as censored than Chinese, and that will only increase.

@TechCrunch

Busy handing out free treats to his newest sycophants, the Tech Bros. I'm sure Uncle Larry will be delighted with his gift freshly stolen or extorted, from ByteDance.

That's one way to kill it.

@TechCrunch I look forward to Ellison ruining that too.
