Don’t waste money on a CCP App when 80% of its ‘ip’ is likely stolen and the other 20% backdoors and spyware. The CCP already has stolen enough from the US. We don’t need to openly give them our money tiktok_us Twitter Microsoft

tweektok?

And now even Facebook looks more attractive. 😄

Lol. Mismanaged Vine so let’s buy Vine!

トゥイットゥーアカになる?赤の他人になるしか

The new TikTokTwitter? Fun

Let's be more reasonable, shalln't we? Put a roulette and the one who wins stays with TikTok.

Microsoft will be a better owner - they will leave TikTok alone. Twitter?

Ojalá no termine como Vine. Hay creadores muy talentosos en esta plataforma

glynmoody Twitter should never have shuttered Vine

Tik Tok won't survive, either way. Facebook has launched,Reel(a complete cut and paste of TikTok) MS doesn't know how to run anything other than OS and cloud. Twitter is a bad business manager.

There goes our data

That would be contaminated

Twitter interests anything makes Trump look bad

Oh no! then porn on Twitter will be all dancing

Everybody want to fuck TikTok ?

Twitter is e only American owned social media platform allowed in china something sinister

Being that Twitter has a lot in common with China, they both like to censor their citizens and users

I doubt Twitter's ability to run it.

TikTok should take Trump to court — Free speech— Trump, prove allegations.

Oh great. Censorship from Silicon Valley

No no no no no

Thanks

Microsoft also expressed interest in buying Tik Tok, company has formally declared its interest after President Trump reversed course on a planned ban of TikTok and gave the two firms 45 days to come to a deal.

Trump's approach is unconstitutional

To shut it down like Vine? 🤣

YEAH AND TWITTER WILL ASSIST IN STEAING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION !

This might be a better deal.

Twitter buying TikTok now

If their stock ever DOES get above 40 maybe they won't have to reduce themselves to aligning with communist China.

Twitter and Communist China go together like peanut butter & Jelly.

Twitter buying TikTok now

To control the Masses and the messages heard by all.. MorganStanley do I need to switch to tiktok_us to be heard?

Only at a low price

Place your bids, it’s getting interesting.

This is a brazen robbery. Shame on twitter. Shame on MAGA.

Many years ago, US government command GE to purchase French company Alstom. Now it's the same story. US is the biggest threat to world peace.

Oh you mean like how Twitter bought and killed Vine

TwikTerk

Don't let them, they are bringle of the same plate

Trump’s Attack on WeChat and TikTok Highlights Cost of China’s Technological RivalryIf Donald Trump wanted to shore up America’s national security with his Thursday night executive orders pinpointing two Chinese apps, he has certain not achieved much. On the other hand, if he want… This report omits that the Red Communist Chinese steal $100s of billions in Intellectual Property from the USA, every year (and have for decades). Thus, your headline should read 'USA moves towards ending Chinese state-sponsored theft of American Intellectual Property'. Fixed it. Tic Tok is racist.. Their algorithm excludes Black Purple in favour of Whites... Ban them...
