Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Coming soon: A Tiktoker's Top 10 Tiktok TACO Moments.
More likely he was paid off by someone.
So like funding the government, we now have to kick the can down the road for TikTok every few months instead of actually dealing with it.
Is this more TACO? Sounds like it.
TACO!
Someone smarter than me needs to look at S*uth D@kota and help put the pieces of this odd puzzle together. (Made a new acct just in case I'm on to something here.)
This university is well known for its cyber-security work with the feds and happens to be working mighty closely with the current SD governor (probably with the help of crusty gnome herself) and some big-talking billionaire to try to buy Tiktk.
If you thought Amazon was bad... A "public-private partnership?" God knows what that would mean for controlling the algorithm and extracting data from unwitting users, i.e. a shitton of Americans.
Fun fact: Just up the road, a massive multi-billion-dollar data center is planned and the company, Applied Tech (which looks like a front tbh), is currently trying to get zoning laws passed in a county of a few thousand people, a county whose board of potential rubes doesn't understand tech to the point their commission meeting minutes were auto-recovered according to the downloaded file name.
Wanna bet the new power plant planned to go up nearby exists almost exclusively to power this data center's virtually unlimited crypto mining operation primarily publicized as "just doing AI stuff"?
A final fun fact for good measure: S.D. is a tax safe haven for corporations and is also one of only a few places where "dynasty trusts" can exist in perpetuity.
Maybe it's all a coincidence, but it sure seems like all of this put together spells disaster. How much dark money stands to hide in SD and places like it? Exactly how would the state's regulations (i.e. the lack thereof) facilitate this Tktk "rehoming" scheme seemingly filled with ill intent?
The TACO might just be pushing the deadline off so that the feds can get their ducks in a row in how they, too, can capitalize on this venture.
The crusty gnome clearly sold out the state for something. Technocracy perhaps?
Don’t feel like enforcing a law Congress passed? Just hit pause!
It's an artform really
He's hoping for a bigger bribe.
Taco yum
