TikTok Ban All About Control
President Biden put the final nail into the ban of the popular TikTok platform, sending rival social media sites scurrying to take advantage of the move.
Biden signed a legislative bill into law earlier this week that would force either the sale or ban of TikTok. The ban was was part of the larger legislative package to provide aid to Ukraine.
David “Nino” Rodriguez welcomes author Ron Partain to the podcast, who says social media giants, such at Meta, YouTube and Instagram will benefit greatly from the ban. Partain says that while Biden, the wily Democrats and the disgusting Rinos point to Chinese ownership of TikTok as their reason for the ban, he’s not so sure that’s the case.
Partain says it’s more of a censorship and market-share issue. “This is a corporatocracy and people in the United States want control,” he says. “TikTok is not as controllable as YouTube or anything Meta. It’s already been proven that Meta is working with three-letter agencies.”
Meanwhile, Rodriguez reports that Rumble is suffering unforeseen attacks to their site, suppressing users from downloading videos. Partain and Rodriguez discuss the ban further and ponder whether the control freaks will target sites like X and Rumble next.
