An edited meme image featuring two stills from MegaMind. The top still shows Titan speaking to a the mayor, who is labelled “TikTokers getting censored by China” and saying “You have freed us!” overlaid. Titan has a US flag as a label, and is saying “Oh, I wouldn’t say freed, more like under new management.”

      I think there is a good chance the CCP refuses to let it go, because it was never about profit to them. It was about control, and judging by the amount of death threats our legislators received that goal was exceeded.

      My honest thoughts are that they won’t sell it and just shut it down cmpletely. The CCP has zero interest in monetizing the platform. Now imagine having 175 million people pissed about their beloved platform taken away. The CCP has about a year to do real psyops damage before shutting the platform. This will enrage the people addicted to it.
