The anti trust system has failed completely.

Of course. But on the other hand: Who else would?

It's not like Bob from Des Moines is going to find $100 billion behind the sofa cushions to buy it. There aren't that many companies with much higher valuations.

Oracle has been the most involved player for TikTok up to this point. Trump has also floated the idea of being government-owned.

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

They want to privatize the post office but make TikTok government owned... JFC...

[–] IllNess@infosec.pub 6 points 10 months ago

Government owned under Musk. Basically Musk wants to control it while we pay for it.

Disgusting.

So they can use it to spread right wing bollocks, cause at the minute it’s (probably) a little bit of everything.

It’s fucked up, and I had to read that twice, but it’s not really surprising.

It's the only big social media not regime controled.

No no, look what they did with Sun.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Yup, expect paywalls, lock-in, and relentless profit-maximization.

The silver lining is that they seem to care more about your wallet than your data, though they'll hoover up both if given the chance.

Like the rest of the system is in any kind of food shape...

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 38 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So after buying WaPo, bezos wants in on social media. Got to pump out the propaganda where the kids are

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

Already has twitch

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Bezos wants his own X…

[–] FriendBesto@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago

Oh, hell no.

[–] Brotha_Jaufrey@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Yet another reason not to use that awful app.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago

Every billionaire competing to buy the world's biggest megaphones...

[–] Garry@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Isn’t the deadline tomorrow? They should have sold by now if they wanted to

[–] cyberwolfie@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Extended 75 days

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

They will never sell, certainly not to americans

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And I want to buy the moon. So fucking what?

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You really don’t see an issue here?

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The issue is that the owner has said they don’t want to sell. The issue is blatant corruption is ruining everything.

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 0 points 10 months ago

I’d have been clearer if I were you.
