TikTok is going to end up in the hands of some American billionaire and become another rightwing mouthpiece (like Twitter/X).

Look at what Zuckerberg just said in his video this week - he said they are tweaking the algorithm to push MORE political content.

It's going to be a firehouse of rightwing messaging on every social media platform.

This is pretty much what I think too. - OP[/quote]

Me too except I hope that eventually the reality of what people see vs. what is being fed to them will start to make a difference.  This time that feeling broke in the Republican direction---lots of independents and swing voters didn't buy the progressive party line on crime, transgender issues, etc.  But people will realize that mass deportations are not, in fact, going to happen.  And that R  tax breaks will only inure to the benefit of billionaires.  And they will certainly notice if any of the popular Obamacare protections such as no denial for pre-existing conditions and permitting adult kids to stay on policies until age 26 are repealed.  And if tariffs ARE imposed (doubtful) people will certainly notice when the price of everything at Walmart increases by 20%.  My middle class retiree mom was a Trump voter until the minute the 2017 tax act increased her taxes while the taxes for billionaires were lowered.   [/quote]
