UPDATE: Well, it looks like the Donald Trump/TikTok joke has reached its punchline – at least for now Earlier today, the guy who tried to shut down TikTok in 2020 took to his social media to say that he was planning on issuing an executive order to "extend the period of time before the law's[...]

UPDATE: After ByteDance made the decision to pull TikTok and a number of other apps from U.S users ahead of the law going into effect today banning TikTok in the U.S over security concerns, incoming POTUS Donald Trump – who was the first to try shutting down the app, back in 2020 – is depending[...]

UPDATE: Shortly after TikTok prepared U.S viewers for the app to go down on Jan 19th, a new message appeared on the ByteDance-owned app informing users that "you can't use TikTok for now." The message goes on to do some serious stroking of incoming POTUS Donald Trump's ego – as you're about to see in[...]

As TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew continues trying to blame President Joseph Biden for its current woes (even though the bill banning the app in the U.S if owner ByteDance didn't divest from it received bipartisan support in Congress and was upheld by the U.S Supreme Court), it appears Chew's one-on-ones with incoming POTUS Donald[...]

These days, if you want a better understanding of the world around us, you've got a better shot of getting it from the folks who make us laugh than what's out there passing themselves off as "news networks."

The drama over what will or will not happen with TikTok continued playing out on Friday night Earlier today, the U.S Supreme Court upheld the law that was passed by Congress and signed by President Joseph Biden (the Protecting Americans from Foreign Controlled Applications Act), giving ByteDance 90 days to divest from the app or[...]

The fate of TikTok in the United States now rests in the tiny hands of incoming POTUS Donald Trump – and January 19th is less than 48 hours away This morning, the U.S Supreme Court upheld the law that was passed by Congress and signed by President Joseph Biden last year, which gave China's ByteDance[...]

It appears Donald Trump had one helluva meeting with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew earlier this month On Friday, the incoming POTUS urged the Supreme Court to pause implementing a ban that's set to take effect on January 19, 2025, if owner ByteDance doesn't divest from the app Last week, the high court announced that[...]

Nine days before a law goes into effect that would ban TikTok in the United States unless it divests from the social media service, ByteDance will be getting a chance to argue its case before the U.S Supreme Court Two weeks after a U.S Federal Appeals Court upheld the law that set the January 19,[...]

What impact incoming POTUS Donald Trump will have on the matter remains to be seen but for now?
