People work inside the TikTok Inc. building in Culver City, Calif., Monday, March 11, 2024. House Republicans are moving ahead with a bill that would require Chinese company ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban in the United States even as President Donald Trump is voicing opposition to the effort.

The hell is that summary, AI-generated? Why yes, people DO work inside the TikToc building.

Talk about burying the lede, by not elaborating on that title, like the article does. "Stripping" does not mean that teenagers are being "stripped" from the platform, or from feeds, like I figured. It literally means that THEY are stripping. OnlyFans style. For gifts. Jesus fuck.
