    Trump just keeps pushing back the deadline. Right now it’d be banned Sept 17th, but presumably he’ll push it back again.

      Tictok shutdown for a week or however long it was. Then we see it’s CEO sitting alongside Trump, Zuck and the rest of the oligarchs at the inauguration. Shortly after, the service goes live again followed by user complaints about their feeds being different.

      It’s not confirmed but the theory is that tictok is now feeding data to meta, or even running off their servers entirely, so that the US government has easy access to everything.
