  1. FYI Microsoft will buy tiktok if it is banned .. so that it will not rlly be banned..if u.s. company owns it then u.s will not c as security / biz challenge etc .. I think I read this either in “the drum” advertising mag email or maybe it was “music business worldwide” email .. Trump n Kanye are the same, both announce drama like this to distract from policies which harming masses and only help billionaires..since Trump n ye r both narcissistic billionairess satanic opposite of wat Jesus preached eg. Helping poor and foreigners
