I already said it wasn't ideal. At least Trump had to do some shit first to fuck with tiktok. You think that wouldn't have been immediate if tiktok was controlled by the government?
No, I don't think so. Because - up until Trump - people in governments know that if they pull shit like this off, they risk the same shit being pulled against them, after they're gone and the opposition takes over.
And Trump has proven that reasoning invalid. Things are never going back to the way they were before now that he's shown just how much you can get away with. Until mechanisms are put in place to prevent such corruption and deal with his kind we can't trust the government to handle anything.
