Now everyone who is constantly crying about China’s influence can use what will be a far-right controlled TikTok.
Enjoy!

Never thought I’d be less comfortable with the Americans having my data than I am with China having it, but here we are.

Social media (and mainstream media) is being taken over by the far-right at an alarming rate, although I quite expected it. I can’t help but to wonder how long before reddit is gets taken over.

TikTok U.S. joint venture will be owned by a consortium of investors:
* 15% Oracle, will store US user data
* 15% Silver Lake Technology Management
* 15% MGX – a United Arab Emirates investment company
* 30.1% will be held by affiliates of existing ByteDance investors
* 19.9% will be retained by the China-based ByteDance.
* The U.S. venture will have a new, seven-member majority-American board of directors, the memo said. It will also be subject to terms that “protect Americans’ data and U.S. national security.”
* TikTok’s algorithm will be retrained on U.S. user data to “ensure the content feed is free from outside manipulation,”
* The U.S. will also oversee content moderation and policies.
This is for only TikTok US, for the rest of the world it will business as usual for TikTok.
Will US users be given the option to view the international version or will they live in a world of their own?

>new entity will retrain TikTok’s algorithm on US user data
So still a destabilization psyop.
Great.

I wonder if Bytedance is trying to force Trump’s hand by announcing this through an internal company memo.
No way would Trump et al would be happy with just the data. They want control over the algorithm, which is something China won’t want to give them.

Do they have ant evidence TikTok did anything to Americans. I’m waiting for the DOJ charges. It’s likely to turn into a X.

Someone that actually lives in the US explain to me how this is a legitimately worse alternative to a Chinese owned platform

Can someone explain if this will end up blocking you from interacting with international users / users of the original TikTok app?

The real question is will they push their propaganda slow enough so the current useful idiot base on TikTok transplants to the new/ conflicting propaganda, or will it be too quick and cause an exodus?
HitByBrix42 on
Any estimates on when this new app gets rolled out (assuming all parties approve it)?
