Another thing to keep in mind about this TikTok platform is that its servers are hosted by Oracle, that’s Larry Ellison, and an arrangement that keeps U.S. data in America.
After President Trump sent out a message from his Truth Social platform. TikTok thanked President Trump and reactivated the platform for U.S users.
Here’s the first message from President Donald Trump.
“I’m asking companies not to let TikTok stay dark! I will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law’s prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security. The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order.
Americans deserve to see our exciting Inauguration on Monday, as well as other events and conversations.
I would like the United States to have a 50% ownership position in a joint venture. By doing this, we save TikTok, keep it in good hands and allow it to say up. Without U.S. approval, there is no Tik Tok. With our approval, it is worth hundreds of billions of dollars – maybe trillions.
Therefore, my initial thought is a joint venture between the current owners and/or new owners whereby the U.S. gets a 50% ownership in a joint venture set up between the U.S. and whichever purchase we so choose.” {Source}
A few hours later TikTok made an announcement via the Twitter App.

According to most media outlets, approximately 170 million Americans use the TikTok app. According to Politico Apple and Google pulled TikTok from their storefronts Saturday night after the app itself went dark on users. Only existing users have access, Apple and Google have not reestablished the app on their system for download.
This shows how powerful Apple and Google are in terms of controlling the information we get on our smart phones and how we use our phones.
This. My next phone will be an UP Phone. It will be strictly used as a phone. No apps that aren’t essential to my using it as a phone. I imagine it will be bit rough at first, but not getting tracked and my data scraped will be liberating.
They’ll just scrape the data in your actual phone conversations.
lol. It’s going to be very little and not much worthwhile.
They are welcome to it.
No TV? No computer? No Car?
Yep, and as I said very little worthwhile, but they welcome to it
Right there with you. I love Trump, but I’m shocked at his digital/AI alliances. Musk is a scumbag, and I don’t give a shoot what anyone thinks of me for that comment!
Vance, Bondi, Musk, can go swing for all I care.
Winning national elections means involving multiple silos which would not normally cooperate on their own. We now have a relation with elements that we’d otherwise fear and loath, but it spared us from Harris.
Can we keep an operational tolerance going until we don’t need them? We shall see.
Can we keep an operational tolerance going until we don’t need them?
Nope, the whole point of them is once hooked up, you cannot unplug!
‘…it spared us from Harris.’
Observations spotted around the web:
Has it occurred to anyone that biden/harris were installed for multiple reasons?
Not just to drive the US further down 2021-24, but also to set things up to ensure the regime would switch back to Trump in 2025 for his Act 2, as a recoil from biden/harris?
After the euphoria wears off, the reality will return. The US sovereign debt is sinking the ship, it cannot be stopped.
Other components sinking the ship, such as biowarfare democide attrition, are also continuing. Notice how MAHA has one big blind spot – the modRNA shots?
It appears that major war will be used to scuttle the ship in order to move to the next stage, with Trump presiding.
Remember this?
“I will end the Ukraine war on day one.” (Easy enough, end the support and it ends.)
Became:
“I will start negotiations on day one.”
Then:
“I will not change the US support of Ukraine when I take office.”
Now:
“Ukraine needs to draft more and younger men to send to the front lines.”
Is the euphoria so blinding that no one is paying attention to what is going on?
Can you see the next stage, after the ship is scuttled? All the parts of the framework are being finalized, right before our eyes.
“I will not change the US support of Ukraine when I take office.”
“Ukraine needs to draft more and younger men to send to the front lines.”
Kindly provide the sources where you found these two “quotes” from President Trump. I think you may have been fooled.
Edit:
In other words: I do not believe you:)
Horrible Idea to spend our scarce taxpayer $$ to have a 50% interest in this. Just disaster.
I don’t know if this will make any difference to you in your decision-making… but, I was also considering getting one and now I am on the fence about it…
I was on the phone recently with my carrier, & the customer service rep I was speaking with told me of a customer that had ported out, then ported back with a phone she got from that carrier. He told me she had told him no way no how did she want an Up phone (aka Unplugged phone) because of the founder Eric Prince.
https://unplugged.com/
You can watch a video there voiced by Eric Prince, the Co-Founder. I told him that name rang a bell, so I used his name & Brave to see what I could find… Oh, yeah,,,

The customer service rep also told me the name of her new phone & then I looked it up while on the phone with him, & there was enough conflicting info about it on its website, & apparently I decided not to bookmark it since I can’t find it. But, in my search trying to find it again, I came across this and now I am even more suspicious..

UP phone?
Read the comment you are replying to; apperently it means “Unplugged Phone”.
If I recall correctly, Unplugged is a sponsor on Tucker Carlson’s podcast.
A Faraday pouch/bag could solve the tracking problem – as needed.
Commercial entities’ tracking and surveillance may be somewhat stymied by UP phone and other privacy means available to mere mortals.
State entities can still surveil and track you regardless, six thousand ways from Sunday.
I bought one for me for Christmas, 10% off. Still thinking about how I want to use it.
YouTube has videos of numerous people telling you what apps and what to turn off on your phone to try to keep Apple from taking all of your data.
“an arrangement that keeps U.S. data in America.”- Nope I don’t believe it, not one bit….
Wut?
Don’t you trust the NSA?
Biggest vacuum in history.
Are you saying………they suck?
🤣 😊 😆 🤣 😁
BUT BUT Trump has sold out to China, I knew I should have voted for Harris. LOL
FKIN moron! Its not owned by China! All of the data runs through Ellison’s servers, which mean the NSA already have it. Get off those platforms, or don’t use them in the first place!
DO YOU know what LOL means? That’s what I’ve been reading all day on other sites. Good lord.
A lot of people don’t know what sarcasm is anymore.
Exactly.
Or humor.
Yep
Resultant from a sub standard level of comprehension, coupled also with an absence of basic manners. And clearly in dire need of a liver detox.
I know what “LOL” means, and I was addressing “China”
Sure
This sounds a little like Munchausen syndrome.
Tiktok users are being brainwashed….. we need these people to be productive in society. Not sitting around making tiktoks and getting paid by the CCP.
Uh so is YouTube owned by Google payed by US taxpayers.
How does your comment make this problem better?
I’m sorry, but I just can’t care any less. My give a damn’s busted.
🤣 🤣 🤣
Mine, too. Cats out of the bag, and toothpaste out of the tube,..
Reality is, the vast majority of Americans are NOT going to forswear credit, go to all cash, or disconnect from the internet,..and that being the case, this invasion of privacy will continue…
Recall its CONSENSUAL; everyone has to commit an affirmative act, to get a cellphone, and access the internet….and whatever restrictions we put on data collection and use, people will find a way around or ignore.
Funny thing is – – and this may be why President Trump wants to keep TT in the States – – there are a LOT of TikTokkers who’ve awakened and have seen the Light….going from brainwashed to brain-awake & engaged. I think they’re still in the minority of TT users but I have noticed an increasing number of TT posts re-posted on X that are pro-Trump, pro-MAGA while expressing loss of respect or affinity towards the constant DemoCrap false assertions and general BS.
I wonder if the king of tick tock — Sean Hannity approves!
LOL
Definitely lots of issues with the platform (and I’m not on as I’m not on any, CTH being the only one I’m on), whether Trump planned it this way or not, he just got millions more favorables from former haters.
Shallow? Probably single issue folks with this? Sure, but you play on the field provided.
Now, if it can somehow be used for some sort of good and slide some good content in for them to perhaps see…..well, that’s a silver lining.
Early in Biden’s term there was talk of banning menthol cigarettes. I remember thinking “wow, this is really going to hurt Biden with black voters.”
Not sure if it’s the reason why his veep did so poorly with blacks, despite pretending to be one, but it probably did count for something.
A lot of the youngest generation use it and some small businesses use it. Also ran across a article with a video from a WWII vet, who uses it to teach younger generations history and the founding ideals of the country – he talked of how he would miss all his children (ones he taught and interacted with).
Whatever else it might be and regardless of our personal opinions about it, it’s loss would still effect quite a few folks. There’s also nothing it does that our own government doesn’t already do.
This is golden. TikTok directly credits President Trump for restoring the service. That will go over big with a LOT of users who were distraught when the service went dark today.
Even the Trump haters on TikTok may comprehend this massive endorsement of President Trump.
A Bernie Bro has written about Portland banning AI facial recognition. You don’t have to sbare his opinions to be interested in this development

The opEd article link above contains a disturbing news item about mistakes made by AI; a 61 year old grandfather was mistakenly identified as a robber in Texas? And raped in jail before being set free. I know, it sounds outlandish, but read the news item and consider:
https://www.wltx.com/article/news/crime/man-mistakenly-identified-as-robber-by-facial-recognition-software/101-3cc20ddd-f91e-4d15-85c6-a70f1a0a010e
TikTok is apparently a massive super powerful pysop delivery platform. It hooks mostly younger Americans on a kaleidoscope feed of insanity.
But evidently only in the US – in China it is used for beneficial purposes, such as education, or so we are informed.
Some suggest it is one of the prongs of a multi-pronged program to degrade the US as China ascends, over decades.
Now Trump is intervening to keep it going?
Pay close attention to what is happening.
Haha!
