People getting beat up in parking lots, dogs, and scare pranks?

Does kinda make me wonder why they haven't gone after Rumble, well, in all fairness.....

I guess it aint banned yet. Elon Musk might buy it?
He'll crash it just like he did Twitter.
Who knows?
Who cares?

He's nuts.
He may be Mr. Money, but he should stick to making Jetson cars. His beliefs on most anything else are bizzare.

Poor little clockwork robot...

Wait? There was an ap? Which hosted super-short videos? Oh-well.

The more I read about this, the less I understand the rationale. Even if you don't use Tik Tok or care about the service, I think you should be skeptical of the government shutting down an entire service. Congress has a burden of proof to convince us this extraordinary step is merited and they've basically just said "trust us, they can do really bad stuff, we can't tell you what it is but trust us it's bad."

There are a lot of things that disturb me about the near future of this country...the fate of Tik Tok is not high on that list.
In fact it's not even in the top 100.
