China will only be able to spy on our phones, TVs, cars and refrigerators (Frederick Douglass's 1852 speech)



August 2020

“Well guys, with the coronavirus surging and the economy cratering. President Trump is turning his attention to what’s really important: threatening to ban the Chinese-owned app TikTok in the US, citing a vague national security threat. 


What is he doing? Is he the president of the United States or the preacher from Footloose? Apparently this is a real national security threat: the Chinese government knowing which Americans can and can’t dance. I’m sure it has everything to do with national security and nothing to do with the TikTok teens who sabotaged his Tulsa rally. 


Or it could be that Trump is playing hardball with China, since if he bans TikTok, China will only be able to spy on our phones, TVs, cars and refrigerators. So, that’s where he draws the line.


As for reports that Microsoft will purchase the app, Fallon found the idea of the American tech giant owning the video-loop app laughable. The most non-TikTok-y people are buying TikTok. It’s a big day for the three TikTok fans that also love Excel spreadsheets.” —Jimmy Fallon
