Boy, that was a stupid place for TikTok to blow their wad. I suspect that this will result in some fairly serious pummeling of their operations in many places.
The court didn't provide any evidence that this was somehow coordinate by TikTok themselves. Rather a state actor that made hundreds of TikTok accounts just before the election. This kind of stuff happened on Twitter all the time. It'll probably happen on Bluesky as well if they succeed
The Georgescu trend was no.9 world wide and exploded 2 weeks before the election
What I learned from this is that people are much more easy to influence than previously thought. Especially if you come up with something that is a blank slate. Me included.
I was literally crying for my country these last 2 weeks.
