An American company has offered to buy TikTok to prevent the Chinese-owned app from a nationwide ban.
A letter from Rumble CEO Chris Pavloski surfaced on the company's X page Tuesday, declaring his online video platform is ready to 'acquire and operate TikTok in the US.'

Pavloski stated his case further by explaining Rumble would store data safely and securely in the US with its newly launched cloud service that advocates for 'the free and open internet.'

How far will this go?

Bad move.

Nobody who wants to keep their system safe should buy TikTok. The Chinese spyware is buried so deep in the code, it likely cannot be found.

Biden wont allow it because Rumble is a non-woke alternate to YouTube.

Yeah, I don't think this will get very far before a massive amount of red tape from the Biden administration rains down on them. And they can't weather that storm as easily as Musk could.

So who are the other members of the consortium?

Daily Mail article is misleading, they're not offering to buy TicTok.

Relinquish operational control while maintaining ownership, if I had to guess. Similar to how Trump had to divest from a lot of his business upon being elected.

I was thinking of a divestiture as a forced sale under an antitrust consent decree.

The US still has best coders and hackers to combat China. The bigger threat would be China stealing proprietary info from Rumble or any US partner.

So what is Rumble? Judging from the address on the letterhead, it's being run from some guy's waterfront condo outside of Tampa.

Basically an attempt to make an alternate youtube for conservatives .

I think the former cop on Fox News owns part of it. Dan Bongino

There is no way they can compete with any of the bigger guys, They probably do not make any money from Rumble

rumble has been focusing on content creators and doing deals with people who already had followings on youtube. Lawtubers like Nick Rekieta for instance.

Please let this happen!

You have the IQ of a potato if you believe the criminals in DC have your best interests in mind when they pass "bipartisan" aka SWAMP legislation i.e. Tik Tok ban. While tens of thousands of Chinese pouring over the Mexican border fighting age single males. Biden led the swamp in allowing this Trojan Horse happen and on top of that we find out they are flying in hundreds of thousands in by plane from various points of origin using a smartphone app just to decrease the number of illegal immigrant encounters at the Southern Border.

These are the same people that insist on sending hundreds of billions of US tax dollars to Zelenskiy who: abolished elections, arrested his critics and shut down the media in the name of defending democracy. Don't be distracted by the laser pointer folks. They will end up letting Bezos or Alphabet or Blackrock by Tik Tok and it will go from a Chinese Spy tool to a USGov spy tool. The minute the Swamp found out how powerful the influence was regarding Tik Tok they immediately set forth a plan to gain control of it. They will never allow someone like Musk to get their hands on it, they realize how much they lost when he bought Twitter. The Swamp needs to regain control of the unknowing masses fixated on stupidity and the human voyeuristic obsession. Trump is right when he points out that Zuckerberg aka Meta is more dangerous, between FaceBook Instagram, Messenger, Threads, WhatsApp, Meta Quest, Horizon Worlds, Ray-Ban Stories, and Mapillary, they control the largest part of personal data and demolish personal privacy as well as assist the obsessed in living in an altered reality.

Stunned that all this is happening a mere 235-days before the US presidential election.

Stunned in fact.

And keep in mind Mike Gallagher who is spearheading this is not seeking re-election in a vital swing state so he has no danger of blowback. and even though that's a ruby red district, Wisconsin has a really shady election history sp ruby red means little unless the GOP steps up and puts their foot on the neck of the DNC machine.

Lemme get this straight Palantir founder Joe Lonsdale has been lobbying for the Tik Tok ban bill. Gallagher, who wrote bill & deserted House GOP under worst circumstances possible, is joining Palantir? WTF?

SCOOP — @RepGallagher has told people that he is planning to take a job at Palantir, I'm told by two sources.

The Wisconsin GOP anti-China hawk announced today that he is leaving Congress next month.

May not be 100% done, but that's what he has told people he is doing next.
