This was within seconds.
Why do you think Chump forced ByteDance to sell to his US buddy? See above.

Yes, he did. One of the major shareholders in the new US Tiktok is the saudi group that includes Kushner.
Oh, yeah, I called it on day one. They were only pushing the ban because they wanted to capture it. Of course the new owner would be MAGA.
Wait until they start demanding that AMERICAN companies be sold to a buyer of their choice.

tiktok was the only one that wasnt us controlled, that was allowing anti-zionist posts without severe astroturfing like with all the other SOCIAL media, thats the real reason.

Which document is this? I wanna look it up. EDIT: I found them! It looks like they really are just pulling documents that implicate Trump as they get discovered, and redacting them.
These are the worst Fascists ever. Completely incompetent at spinning political narratives.
I would argue that they are the best kind of fascist; they wont last long.

And you're.... Surprised?
Yeah and EA is blocking saying Epstein, but you can say trump and Biden but not Epstein. A lot of companies are protecting the pedos.

Trump already said that the new deal was going to make TikTok 100% MAGA.

I see one rich asshole ~~named~~ called larry ellison has begun to fulfill his purpose.
It's supposed to be (O)ne (R)ich (A)sshole (C)alled (L)arry (E)llison. Saying named throws the whole oracle thing out and then you might as well use more fun names like decrepit ass-goblin, or world champion cum wrangler to describe him

Continuing to fulfill his purpose. Was pretty disappointing seeing CBS News pushing that sane-washing town hall with Erika Kirk with a temporary hard link on its navbar, but the Larry->David->Bari chain is complete and paying off there too.

Hate to ask this way but is that text real?
Look into the mideas touch podcast. They have a copy of this from before and this redacted version was the one uploaded. 100% breaking the law their orange god signed.
yes
Is there a name for the document? Or a ID?
Admittedly at this point you probably won't find anything useful on the official site, other than the last redacted version. Hopefully someone has saved the first version and uploaded it elsewhere?
Yes that's why I want the name

Somewhat related note / PSA to all:
When typing on Android 16 using Gboard (with permissions and custom dictionary turned off), the words "pedophile," "pedophilia," and "pedophilic" do not show up in the suggested set of words or autocorrections. It doesn't say these are spelled wrong after you complete the word though. It simply offers no suggestions after "pedoph-" is typed and shows literally nothing when you put the cursor on the completed word, unlike any other word.
Out of curiosity, I tried a bunch of swear words and slurs. Gboard will gladly show the N word if typed correctly for example, but not pedophile. ("Cocksucker" is the only other word I can find that has this seeming lack of dictionary presence.)
The fuck?
couldn't replicate your issue. sorry
It shows up in mine if it started with "Paedo", which is the correct dictionary words afaik
It's likely only showing autocomplete for commonly used works, or maybe words that are statistically likely to be next, otherwise the list would be enourmous. There is a setting to not show offensive words, disabling that make is show pedophile as an option.
Good call on the offensive words being disabled as suggestions. I definitely thought I had offensive word suggestions enabled, considering "cunt" and "dickwad" and all sorts of other stuff showed up (stuff I don't recall typing before anyway) when I wasn't enabling it.
Just to confirm, I have offensive words enabled now and yes, pedophile and its relatives do show up. So it's just ... The hierarchy of offensiveness seems weird, eh.
The hierarchy of offensiveness seems weird
I was initially of the same opinion, but actually, which of those would you be most offended to be called? I wonder if that's the scale they're using?

Been using heliboard here for about 6 months now and is the same way
tiktok is owned by maga, isn't it?
Yes. The Trump administration is refusing to obey a law to enforce a tiktok ban in exchange for political loyalty
Yes, trying to forcibly give ownership of it to one of his lackies.
Technically yes but actually no.
The servers are still in Beijing at this moment, these actions were taken by the Chinese.
TikTok and China have always supported Trump.
Still not worth anything to install that spyware on my phone, got it.
That's the problem with the problem with social media.
It isn't the apps.
It's they people are so fucking stupid and addicted they're going to keep feeding it.
The amount of metrics that TikTok collects though, no thanks.
Great point.
I take that back. It's also the apps.

Of course, they just sold to Ellison and friends. It's now just another mouthpiece for the Conservative Propaganda Machine.

If you upload an all-black image does it get flagged?
Try posting a fully redacted page, let's see if that gets removed too
TikToks level of censorship SUCKS its the reason we have those dumb "algorithm-friendly" alternatives for serious topics. Can't say people were KILLED so you gotta say they're UNALIVE.
Everyone needs to be boycotting TikTok hard. Bring more people to Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon, PeerTube and other more ethical alternatives.
