So, ZioNazi Larry Ellison gets the lead public stake of TikTok in the US, shadowy private equity Silver Lake gets a cut, every Nat-Sec Nutsacks™ favorite petrostate, Abu Dhabi, gets a cut, and China still has a fair degree of backdoor control? What a piece of shit. But, it didn't start with Trump.
Also, this seems to ignore that three years ago, during the Biden administration, it was already announced that Oracle was overseeing TikTok’s algorithms and data protection. It’s kinda weird that everyone seems to have forgotten that. This is all, more or less, what was already agreed to years ago. Just shifting around the ownership structure to give Trump and his friends a “win.”
There you go.
Give the full piece a read for the stench of Trump, notes about the lesser stench of Biden, the stench of current Democraps supporting this deal, notes about Larry Ellison's long history of stench on privacy and security issues and more.
TikTok will actually be worse on privacy issues than before, China will love it, Ellison and private equity will combine to enshittify it, and a decade later, the Chinese will move on to bigger and better things.
Answers?
First, don't use TikTok.
Second, duopoly exit.
