Ivanka Trump has a verified TikTok account despite Donald Trump railing against the service for being a national security threat - Lemmy.World

I get why, the hypocrisy but at the same time…how are we at the ‘the ex presidents daughter has a tik tok account’ stage of American politics.
Ex-president’s *adult daughter. Like I get it, and I hate trump, but why are we here.
The actual government has been railing against the service for being a national security threat. Donald Trump was railing against CHYNA for a moment, before he got a hankering for some of that Xi.
Yeah I was pretty sure this was one of those “A broken clock is right twice a day” moments.
Okay? So what?
That’s what she said.
It is a national security threat and so is TikTok.
it turns out the owner isn’t even a Chinese citizen, he’s just ethnically Chinese 🙄
Well shit, I’ve been avoiding making an account all this time for nothing!
Owner of TikTok? Co-founders of ByteDance Liang Rubo (current chairman & CEO) and Zhang Yiming (former CEO) are both Chinese citizens, the company is headquartered in Beijing, and the Chinese government has government officials on the board for oversight. I don’t know if it gets more Chinese than that, and I’m even Chinese.

As if “preaching water, drinking wine” was a new thing for those right-wingers and fundamentalists.

Imagine being aggressive of tiktok. Really unhinged stuff.
