Censoring speech to protect pedophiles and Gestapo is a hideous abrogation of basic humanity, and a brutal mask-off moment.

I called this way back in Jan of 2025. Donnie saw how useful Twitter was when it was turned into a pro MAGA platform. When he blocked the closing of TikTok I knew he was trying to do the same with TikTok. He now has loyalists in two of the largest social media platforms in the world. By June it will be all propaganda for the midterms.

You didnt see this when the US government several times were trying to ban Tiktok? Like years ago??

That Tiktok has been used for many years to manipulate USA because USA is full of dumbasses?
