“… Trump also wrote off the concerns over the app sharing data with the Chinese government.

"But remember, they make telephones in China. They make all sorts of things in China. Nobody ever complains about that. Here they're complaining about this, so many different products made in China, nobody ever complained about the only one they complain about is TikTok," Trump said.

When asked by a reporter in the room why he changed his mind about the app, Trump said it was because he got to use it and said that the U.S. has "bigger" concerns.

"Because I got to use it. And remember, TikTok is largely about kids, young kids. If China is going to get information about young kids out of it, to be honest, I think we have bigger problems than that," Trump said. …”
 
What dumb responses by the evil dark overlord to his ignorant cult.

Kids (up to 20 somethings and beyond) become adults, much of the time. Not good ending up pawns or worse to Red China.

I would give Trump credit, if he was using the 75 day delay for some sort of negotiating tactic to benefit America. But I know Trump all too well. He is only in power to benefit himself and family financially. There's a reason all those billionaire tech moguls had front row seats at inauguration, including the Tik Tok guy. He will use it to benefit the Trump family bottom line, and more influence. Pay to play.

It was nice seeing failed real estate guy Kushner there as well with his $2 Billion Saudi real estate deal he got within a month of leaving office.

Damn that Biden crime family.

Depending on what is meant by "user," in the law's text, the US could own Oracle by the end of the month.
 
I fixed it. It is fine for the Red Chinese but not Chinese Americans. Still, the most harmless of all pejoratives. I mean who would be offended by be8ng called an Irishman, Germanman, Americanman, Swedish man, or Dutchman?

I know, it's all in how received by those directed towards. At least I didn't call him oriental like a rug.

Slurs have nothing to do with logic, they have to do with how the term was used historically. As a matter of logic, almost all slurs are harmless. But when a certain phraseology has a pejorative and demeaning connotation, then civilized people don't use the term. Logic or not.
 
Calheel, do you have any insight on why the fuck Oracle is hosting TikTok's service? Surely their GC can't be this stupid, can he?

“… Apart from Musk, Trump said he would also welcome the possibility of having TikTok land in the hands of Oracle founder and chief technology officer Larry Ellison, who was in the room.

“I’d like Larry to buy it too,” Trump said, looking at Ellison. “I have the right to make a deal.”

Trump teased Ellison, urging him to start negotiating a potential bid for the platform before the reporters gathered in the room.
TikTok already has a deal with Oracle to store its US users’ data. …”
 
The EU will never greenlight Musk owning tiktok and twitter and they would force him to divest X if he buys tiktok.
 


Not sure how much influence has right now in his own caucus, though.
 
Are there any journalists writing right now about how what Trump and Oracle are doing with TikTok is absolutely illegal? We now know why Oracle is willing to take this risk — they’re all in on lucrative AI deals with the Trump White House. But is the entire media just willing to let them get away with blatantly violating the law on a daily basis?

Exclusive: White House in talks to have Oracle and U.S. investors take over TikTok​



“… Under the deal now being negotiated by the White House, TikTok's China-based owner ByteDance would retain a minority stake in the company, but the app's algorithm, data collection and software updates will be overseen by Oracle, which already provides the foundation of TikTok's web infrastructure.

That would effectively mean American investors would own a majority stake in TikTok, but the terms of the deal could change and are still being hammered out.

"The goal is for Oracle to effectively monitor and provide oversight with what is going on with TikTok," said the person directly involved in the talks, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the deliberations. "ByteDance wouldn't completely go away, but it would minimize Chinese ownership."

… Other potential investors who are engaged in the talks include Microsoft.

… While estimates vary on how much TikTok's global business is worth, negotiators in the White House have said ByteDance believes it could fetch at least $200 billion, putting it well outside the reach of any of the consortium of investors who have been promoting their bids, according to the source involved in the discussions. …”

Yeah, that’s what prompted my post. In addition to being illegal, the corruption here is unbelievable. If Trump was fulfilling his constitutional duty to enforce federal law, Oracle would be on the brink of bankruptcy by now. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING REPORTED?????
