TikTok is down and looking to Trump to save the day. Looks like the Trump administration will be handed a pretty easy/major political win. When does everyone think TikTok will be back? Monday? Middle of next week sometime?

This is an excellent brand campaign. Plus or minus integrity, but who’s counting.

Regardless of one’s politics, as both ‘sides’ of the coin worked to get this over the finish line with years-long bipartisan support of the ban despite substantial public disapproval, the following is factually accurate:

2020: President Trump positions for a ban against TikTok

2025: TikTok CEO scheduled to be a VIP guest at Trump’s inauguration, alongside Zuckerberg, Bezos and Musk, and Trump is publicly positioned as a savior

Also, today, per my understanding: TikTok CEO elects to blackout TikTok for American users, despite the reasonable viability to leave it up for users, as the ban limits the App Store downloads and updates, but doesn’t limit current app-users from access. A perfect melodrama days before the inauguration, no?

Ancient Roman poet, Juvenal, had it correct: "Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt.”

Reasonable to suggest that the playbook hasn’t changed much in the last 2125 years?

Allow my eyes to roll into my skull.

I hope never. It should have been banned a long time ago.

It’s a smart move to praise Trump to give him this upcoming victory. It’ll be huge to gain favor with the young crowds. TikTok is no different than any of the American social media apps when it comes to data mining. It was never about the data.

Feels like a stunt. I think he'll definitely say something as he's sworn in. Easy win for him.

Welp I would have said plan on being back by Monday, but it was back early this afternoon which I agree with everyone saying it wasn’t gone long enough to have the impact. I think they thought they were gonna get but now I’m just over the drama.

Does Underwriting carry any time sensitive tasks?

Would folks be open to participating in a “PM Office Hours” style discussion?

Flexible on format etc; here’s what I’m thinking:
- We choose a particular problem for a week (/month?) which a lot (all?) PMs face regularly. E.g. “stakeholder mapping”
- we have a “Fishbowl Live event” where we (practicing PMs) can discuss what we have seen work / not work/ brainstorm solutions for someone with a specific problem.

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?
