#TikTokBan

3 posts3 participants0 posts today

Nearly every major American social media platform is controlled by just one or two men. For example, Mark Zuckerberg owns just 13.5% of Meta's equity but controls 61% of votes. This setup grants him full control without financial risk

And Supreme Court decisions on corporate constitutional rights give those founders unprecedented power to shape society.

I think TikTok will probably go away in the States on April 5th. That is the new "deadline" for ban or divestiture, sure. But more importantly, that's also the planned day of mobilization against the Trump Administration. Given all the protests that have been conveniently covered up by the media, the LAST thing that these fascists want you to see is active resistance practiced by a fierce public.
