Is Trump Coin being blamed on TikTok? Boss: I'm busy making short videos
Recently, rumors have been circulating online that 'the boss of TikTok is frantically buying Trump Coin,' which has infuriated many. TikTok's official response was a direct statement: completely fabricated! This kind of rumor couldn't fool even a three-year-old; are the rumor-mongers treating internet users like fools?
TikTok has no connection to 'Trump Coin.' The boss is busy operating the world's most popular short video platform, so who wouldn't be upset to be unfairly blamed? Even more ridiculous is that this rumor is full of holes; Trump himself has never publicly supported this coin, so why should TikTok's boss be the one to take the fall?
The people spreading rumors don't care about the truth; they only want traffic. By randomly crafting a headline, taking things out of context, and piecing together 'evidence,' they can link two completely unrelated companies, even implying 'capital aligns' and 'political deals.' Such tactics not only disgust TikTok but also grind the intelligence of internet users into the ground. Do people no longer have any ability to think independently and must rely on such low-level rumors to 'gossip'?
Even if, hypothetically, someone did buy 'Trump Coin,' that would be a personal action, not the company's responsibility. Bringing up the boss's private property and tying it to corporate liability is logic weaker than paper. As a multinational company, TikTok is under constant global scrutiny; if it were to engage in any shady dealings, it would have been exposed long ago—could it still be standing now?
The routine of such rumors is: make the headline explosive, fabricate the evidence, and wait for the controversy to come. They don't care about the facts; they only care about whether they can stir emotions and garner attention. Even sadder is that there are always those who tirelessly share, as if this makes them seem 'informed.'
In the face of such mindless rumors, we ordinary internet users should really be more careful. When you see 'explosive news,' don't be quick to get excited; ask a few more questions like 'where's the evidence?' 'Does this make sense?' Stop being the carriers of rumors and start being rational gatekeepers. The rumor you casually share today could turn into a knife aimed at someone else tomorrow.
We won't take the blame for TikTok! To the rumor-mongers, please use your brains and stop grinding the intelligence of the whole world into the ground!
