Trump says U.S. in talks with four groups over TikTok sale

TikTok: The clock tics and money talks.

aren't these protester missing work? Oh, never mind...

Leave US, have dignity and do not fall in dirty trick of good old US..

Good idea, TikTok's great service, but US needs to make sure data's safeguarded from CCP = Common Sense

DJT = MAGA and Safe Again, from CCP!

No sale will happen as China has said that it will not sell any algorithms to any company.

Not any more than those who were missing work on Jan 6th, 2021 - which was a Wednesday, middle of the week, lol

Nobody wants their algorithms and CCP has no say over TikTok US activities, it'll be taken away regardless

Let's not forget the BLM protestors all across the US the summer of 2020, killing many including police officers and causing MANY $billions in damage, while taking over large parts of many major cities, all paid for by the Democratic Operatives like G. Soros etc., LOL!

I'm pointing out that when people complain about protestors, they always say how they're missing work

I don't care about what they're protesting; I'm making fun of the complaint about missing work

So try again! Lol

Lol if the Chinese govt want the data then they would have copies and backups already. I guess that's not common sense

TL;DR - these "protestors" are duped actors and will only be paid at the end of the day by local CCP handlers. They just wanted some easy cash for being an "extra" on a local TV show/movie. They didn't know it was a protest they'd signed up for. They just want the money the advertisement in the trade newspaper said they'd get as a background actor.

They had no idea TikTok or protesting was the real goal, nor that the CCP is paying them.

No US law should specifically target any single company.

The USGovt shouldn't be involved in any "negotiations". The USGovt doesn't own social network tech companies - well - except X which is Musk's conflict of interest company.

Set the laws and leave it to non-govt companies to resolve the problem so the companies operate following the law.

Well we could solve the problem by banning private social media outright. I suspect people would complain about that, though.

Old data is of limited value. Companies that trade in such data want the most recent data. Intelligence and police agencies likewise want the latest data. Putting TikTok under US ownership cuts off the flow of new data to the Chinese.

Pull your head out. The Chinese government is using TikTok to collect information, limit free expression and feed propaganda to Americans. The US Government not only has a right but a duty to become involved.

I agree.

My complaint is about the USGovt targeting a single company when they need to target actions by all social networking companies that are harmful to humans everywhere, including the US.

The USGovt isn't going to buy TikTok. That's for other companies to do. What the USGovt needs to ensure is that engineering teams and support teams don't feed data to enemy govts. I don't want to be USA-only hosted data, but I do want all access to that data to be unavailable to govts controlled by dictators and unfriendly nations.

I wouldn't mind the data being hosted in Canada or some other friendly nations, provided there's zero access by CCP controlled workers anywhere, especially China, NK, Russia and states that are friendly to those countries.

Does that clarify?
