TikTok

     The president of these United States wants to shut down TikTok. TikTok is a community. Of youngsters. It is loaded with people who don't like the current president. Not sure shutting it down will change any minds. Not sure letting Microsoft buy it will achieve his goal of silencing dissent.

     TikTok/Douyin is a Chinese video-sharing social networking service owned by ByteDance, a Beijing-based Internet technology company founded in 2012 by Zhang Yiming. It is used to create short dance, lip-sync, comedy and talent videos. ByteDance first launched Douyin for the Chinese market in September 2016.Wikipedia



     The clips I've seen on TikTok are short and sometimes very witty. I see no reason to close the service in the vain attempt to make the president look better. That is impossible. He has committed enough atrocious acts for one lifetime and it will take years to undo the damage. Leave the kids alone.
