Quote from: K-Dog on Apr 06, 2024, 09:51 PMRE and I could score a trip to China!

I will contribute my 50 cents for 1/2 ownership. :)

Seriously, how hard could it be for the Chinese to find an Amerikan buyer?   There's a zillion ways to structure the deal so profits flow back to China.  They could split off the Amerikan division as a separate company and just sell that part while retaining control over the international version.  Separate editorial control and content.

The problem is, anyone who buys it will still be under pressure from the 3 letter agencies to censor any pro-Palestinian content.  If you think we have problems now with the MIB, it would be orders of magnitude worse with TikTok.  The problem isn't who owns it, it's the political spin of the platform and the level of popularity and number of users that draws the wrath of TPTB.  Chinese ownership is just the excuse to force a change in editorial policy.

Of course, I wouldn't mind being a tech Billionaire. :)  I'd get a high tech robotic leg from the Chinese.  Maybe have my other leg cut off also so I could jump really high and run real fast like the $6 Million Dollar Man!  8)  8)  :o  :o
