Tik Tok
Today at 9:00am

Trump is really going full dictator mode now with the TikTok deal to keep it from closing down in the United States....

California's Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, accused TikTok of suppressing content critical of Mr Trump after the joint venture deal went through.

"Following TikTok's sale to a Trump-aligned business group, our office has received reports, and independently confirmed instances, of suppressed content critical of President Trump," Mr Newsom's office said on X, adding the California Department of Justice was launching an investigation.

Criticism has also come from Mr Trump's side of politics.

Jack Burnham, an analyst with the conservative think tank the Foundation for the Defence of Democracies, wrote that despite a promise to retrain TikTok's algorithm, "ByteDance will keep control of the app's source code, an arrangement that may allow the firm to manipulate the app's content".

No, but it sounds like anything anti-Trump or anti-MAGA is being censored, including "Some users reported not being able to use the word "Epstein" in direct messages on the app, sparking speculation that discussion of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who had ties to Mr Trump, was being censored on TikTok.", which is going to be easy for them to do since Cloud computing firm Oracle owns 15 per cent of the joint venture and will be responsible for securing the data of American users. Larry Ellison, Oracle's co-founder and chief technology officer, is a prominent backer of Mr Trump.
