I just got out my little red book
The minute that you said goodbye
I thumbed right through my little red book
I wasn't gonna sit and cry...

"TikTok is a Chinese Communist spy app that addicts our kids, harvests their data, targets them with harmful and manipulative content, and spreads communist propaganda."

TikTok says it's restoring service to US users based on Trump's promised executive order

I am not a TikTok user, but I know some who are. Sounds like TikTok (in the app and on social media) even gave Trump a shout-out. Well, after all, they are Chinese - which means they know how to handle strong-armed shakedowns by party officials - it requires not just bribes but also flattery. This is not a unique or unprecedented business challenge for them. And you best believe ByteDance is paying attention to how our own tech companies are adjusting to the incoming administration - we've seen Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg, etc. kiss the ring, but there was also this official statement from NVIDIA on AI policy.

QuoteThe first Trump Administration laid the foundation for America's current strength and success in AI, fostering an environment where U.S. industry could compete and win on merit without compromising national security. As a result, mainstream AI has become an integral part of every new application, driving economic growth, promoting U.S. interests and ensuring American leadership in cutting-edge technology.
...
As the first Trump Administration demonstrated, America wins through innovation, competition and by sharing our technologies with the world — not by retreating behind a wall of government overreach. We look forward to a return to policies that strengthen American leadership, bolster our economy and preserve our competitive edge in AI and beyond.
