    Let’s find out if they do, considering that tRump had that special, secret call to Roberts, earlier. President Musk told Humpy Dumpy not to let Tik Tok go bye bye, after all. And Doggy Donny does what his Master Musk tells him to do.

    They don’t care about destroying small business owners. They only want to ban this app over the backlash they received with the Israel vs Palestine situation. They can control main mass media. They cannot control TikTok.

    It’s a huge blow to free speech. The idea that a video sharing app is a national security concern is laughable. They’re only doing it because of the money they received from lobbyists from Meta and Google.

    Were we listening to the same thing? Both lawyers for TikTok made very valid points, especially the one representing the content creators.

      You’re not funny. Instagram is American owned it’s not owned by a Chinese government that doesn’t allow its own people free speech.

    The people who are saying they want TikTok banned are the same people saying they want all social media platforms banned ????. Absolutely ridiculous that is never going to happen ????. I feel like most of the people who are saying that are just grumpy old people who are just jealous of other creators who found a way to make it on social media ????????.

      Too late for crying.. Tik tok is gone.. Get your stuff in order before the 19th

      You are absolutely freaking ridiculous. All the other social media platforms are owned by americans. Tick tock is owned by the Chinese probably the government. The same government in China that refuses to allow its people to have free speech and will literally put them in prison or kill them if they say anything. But yet they want to listen to everything you say from behind the scenes and you support it because you’re too dumb to realize what you’re really saying. It’s not owned by the US they don’t want to sell it we don’t want it too bad so freaking sad. I will not support any country that harms its own citizens by not allowing them free speech and putting them in labor camps. Grow up emoji baby. Who does that and expects to be taken seriously on a YouTube comment. This is not tik Tok.

    Ban Onlyfans also. Stop giving easy money to these stupid young girls

    What i don’t understand is why the intelligence community and politicians from both sides support the ban. They must know something we don’t and I feel like I rarely see this much universal support from politicians and intelligence like this on something so I guess I just have to trust it

      The bill the ban tiktok was funded by AIPAC. The ban was snuck into a 90 million dollar foreign aid bill. Congress is funded by AIPAC there is no evidence that tiktok is using our data for whatever. Just a bunch a sleezy politicians lining their pocket.

    Again why do people not understand that this app unlike our other apps is owned by china. China does not allow free speech and its own country. But they want to know what you’re saying and they can see everything you’re doing and access your information from behind the scenes. I guess your brains don’t wrap around that very well. Thank God our government finally realizes it. This is going to be a great time. And we have a new wonderful President coming in. And we’re deporting illegal immigrants by the dozens.

Venture firms are turning to creators to build trust with the next generation of founders before a check is ever written. It’s a trend that’s been building with a16z’s acquisition of Erik Torenberg’s Turpentine podcast and OpenAI’s acquisition of TBPN. Lightspeed Venture Partners just made its own notable hire in that vein, bringing on Claire Zau, a seed investor with a major following on Instagram and TikTok, to source deals and co-host the firm’s new show, Lightwork, alongside CMO Josh Machiz.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Dominic-Madori Davis is joined by Zau and Machiz to dive deep into whether the “creator-investor” is becoming a real function in venture or just something firms are still trying to figure out.
