I'm really confused about why the adminstration is doing this right before the election, seems like annoying a bunch of young people is a great way to get out the democratic vote.
- jonplackett 6y agoI guess looking 'tough on china' gets out a different vote. Plus LITERALLY ANYTHING to distract from how bad the Covid response is going.
- symlinkk 6y agoWe are almost recovered from COVID, I don’t think it’s that.
- jonplackett 6y agoI wish I shared your optimism. 2nd spike is coming.
- root_axis 6y agoUm what? Based on what criteria?
- jonplackett 6y agoBased on Donald Trump speeches only.
- NikolaeVarius 6y agoHow? Deaths are still fairly constant https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/index.html#trends_dailytrends https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/index.html#trends_d...
- vernie 6y agoShirley you jest.
- Ccecil 6y agoThis is why. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/21/politics/tiktok-trump-tulsa-rally/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/21/politics/tiktok-trump-tulsa-r... No other reason. It ties in neatly with the revenge track record and the timing of events ties in also. (Just the facts, I have no political view towards either side)
- kanox 6y ago> This is why Nonsense, there is no proof that this is related.
- Ccecil 6y agoIn situations where definitive proof of any clear reason does not exist we are left with the facts presented to us and probabilities. Again...this has nothing to do with politics. I am merely looking at things from the view of an outside observer. There are many more valid reasons to limit Chinese influence and "data gathering" but they are largely (at this point) being ignored. This does not begin to dip into the actual "political" reasons both countries involved have going on.
- matwood 6y agoThere may be no definitive proof, but it's not nonsense. Trump has made clear on many occasions that whether or not a group supports him is always on his mind. He's made clear he would ban Twitter if he had some legal cover to make it seem legitimate.
- draw_down 6y ago“Just the facts” come on
- noelsusman 6y agoThere's a reason why the TikTok ban isn't fully implemented until November 12th.
- sbmthakur 6y agoOr maybe their voter base isn't exactly a fan of TikTok.
