SS: President Donald Trump has indicated that he might not save TikTok after all, after calling the social media site “worthless” on his first day back in the White House.
Trump had previously pledged to rescue TikTok from the nationwide ban enforced by the Supreme Court, which was launched over fears the site’s Chinese owner ByteDance would be able to use American data to compromise national security.
Obviously he learned something new yesterday that has changed his mind.

This is a negotiation tactic with China. He obviously does not think it’s worthless – banning it would drive the younger generations insane, he’s just doing this to get as much control as possible over the algorithm. The day it was down they (reportedly) already messed with the algo, disappearing anti-israel content
Mostly depends on China and the people currently wanting to ban it.
I’m not sure about TikTok fate…
He doesn’t get money from it so he doesn’t care.
