Censorship concerns are back in the spotlight after TikTok users claim to be having trouble posting about Jeffrey Epstein and ICE raids.

Days after the company finalized a sale to a consortium of American investors who now control TikTok’s business in the US – which averted a national ban of the app over national security concerns – users report being unable to use the word “Epstein” in direct messages.

The company responded, telling NPR “We don’t have rules against sharing the name ‘Epstein’ in direct messages and are investigating why some users are experiencing issues.” Continue reading “TikTok Users Report Trouble Posting About Epstein, ICE, Days After Company Finalizes Sale To US Investors”

First of all, let’s establish that, if the federal government were actually serious about eliminating the illegal immigrant population in the United States, it would take the following steps:

· Close illegal immigrant bank accounts, seize the money, and only return it once they’re on a one-way flight back home

· Cut off migration welfare services distributed through state programs by holding federal funding over sanctuary states’ heads

· Institute a 100% tax on foreign remittances

· Throw employers, especially executives of large corporations, in prison for violating labor law
