Rumble has a lot of rich people behind it. I think Peter Theil is one of them I believe...

I thought TikTok was effectively owned by the CCP. I'm not sure they're selling.

Wait for real?

I expected TikTok to be like an order of magnitude larger in price than something like Rumble

Doesn't matter Bytedance will be safe as long as Trump backs off...which he is.

The CEO of Rumble, the alternative to YouTube favored by conservatives and also the cloud hosting provider for Truth Social, has floated the idea of buying TikTok from ByteDance.

With Musk turning Xitter into a toxic hellhole favoring far-right opinions, it seems Rumble would be poised to do the same for TikTok and its army of influencers. With all the impressionable kids addicted to TikTok, this is arguably a much bigger concern.

The CEO of Bytedance was just at Mar-a-Lago... they won't need to sell to Rumble Trump. Trump flipped on that line he did Budvl Light.

Maddow did a great segment on it.

Hell even Bannon is saying Trump sold out!

The worst part is I don't disagree that Twitter et al are generally bad for everyone, but that doesn't mean you should break links to it.

Well especially when the site is barely functional as is.

No message board I go to has this kind of batcrap crazy policy...but then again they actually care about their user base. Whoever the phuck runs this place stopped caring a long time ago. They dont even come around once in a blue moon to try and smooth things over...they just want this to die like it is an old AOL account or something.

Don't forget he threw snark at centrists first and then got upset when one of them (me) threw pretty minimal snark back at him about the Twitter links.

I like that priceless came back, commented on a comment about twitter links, said something like he slaves away in the kitchen to make this a better place, left the link ban in place, and disappeared again.
