Goodbye TikTok (for now)

[Anonymous]

Something else will replace it if doesn’t come back.

If I does come back, I hate that Trump will probably look like a hero for doing so.

Is there an agency that performed this function today (Sunday)? What did that entail? Is this the first app/website (which? both) that Americans cannot access? Is it just removed from App stores or all DNS servers have removed the mappings? All DNS servers in the US? What about VPN?

It is illegal for TT to operate in the US, so the company stopped operating. They complied with a law that went into effect. There was no outside agency that forced them to stop. When something is illegal, people stop doing that thing. That is what happened.

I will be back on Monday when Trump swoops in to save the day. This is all a stupid game.

The guy who makes his living on stirring s*** on the internet? He was heavily implicated in the internet outrage machine against the pregnant nurse who got into an altercation about e-bikes in NYC? No thanks.

He isn’t the one speaking in the video.

This is Jax, a singer who made it big starting on TikTok. Her song charted and played on pop radio all last year. Her perspective on why TT is being banned in food for thought. She brings facts.

Tiktok themselves shut off American access and usage early than they needed to even after the Biden administration said it would not enforce the ban. TT did this to strike fear and outrage in the hearts of the users so that they protest even louder than they have been this last week. And TT thanked "President Trump" in the message that went out to 170 millions Americans in order to 1) hold his feet to the fire for whatever he promised TT he would do and 2) flatter him so he gives them what they want.

The worst and most likely outcome is that Trump will work with TT who will eventually sell out its users by giving control of the app to some right wing American billionaires who will turn it into another RW propaganda machine.

The whole thing is insane.

TT has done the opposite of educating Americans. And people should get a real job not try to get money from posting stupid content online.

Lots of people make money on tik tok.

And ultimately the Chinese Communist party benefits from TikTok.

Good riddance TikTok!

Your shirt is made in China. You must be communist.

Most likely Vietnam or Thailand. They should be moving manufacturing sites to El Salvador and Honduras to build up Central America. You do that and people want have to grow dangerous terrain to find work and bombard the USA with illegal arrivals.
