Anyhow speaking of Tim Tok isn’t it owned by the Chinese Communist Party?

This week’s This American Life, which is produced by NPR, [don’t worry guys, Relaxer will now be back within 12 hours] led me to believe TikTok goes by another name there and is a huge problem for the CCP’s Internet filtering attempts.

For the record, that is the ONLY TikTok video I have ever seen.   But true, I loved it!  Have yet to try and recreate it though...what am I doing with my time?

Douyin.

Only one Chinese national on the board of parent company, Bytedance (the founder, Zhang Yiming) and they just hired an American to handle their security.

I'm still not using it though.

My 10 yr old figured out how to do a VPN in 2 minutes

It’s just a distraction

so today trump said he would "allow" Microsoft to buy TikTok as long as the US Treasury got paid.  since his government was "enabling" the sale, he needs a cut.

just wow.
