- xp84 2y agoDon't forget non-monetary 'enrichment,' too. I'm pretty convinced that the reason Trump switched sides on TikTok, after being one of the first to cast (justifiable imho) suspicion on it, simply because he looked around and saw that popular opinion was against the ban, especially among the influential Gen-Z demographic. (Obviously a President caring about popular opinion is a feature and not strictly a bug, but I think it's reasonable that a President should also care whether said popular opinion is ill-informed and wrong when it comes to national security.)
- moshun 2y agoDon’t forget that TikTok praised him personally to every single user and then donated $50K to his inauguration as well as hosting a huge party that cost well over $100k. ByteDance knows better than most how to deal with corrupt governments.
