It’s probably not a good idea for anyone to tie their livelihood to this shitty app gleefully pushing Trump propaganda (or any app where you can’t take your followers with you!)

They shut down US servers when they didn’t have to but they didn’t layoff anybody like it was all planned. It was obvious they want to give trump biggest W imaginable.
There are several projects developing a TikTok alternative based on the same open protocol (https://atproto.com) as BlueSky uses:

theyll obviosuly never agree to that, its typical right wing jingoism and arrogance. America is 165 million out of their 1.5 billion users, they can shed 10 percent and be just fine, in no way do they need us.
From this point forward, it’s dangerous to use for anyone that is remotely critical of Trump. You know the terms and conditions are going to change so you can’t criticize the government.
What makes me absolutely livid at the Democrats is that the message isn't even wrong. Trump said TikTok should be banned, Democrats worked to pass and sign a TikTok ban for him, and now he actually is the one taking steps to keep it from shutting down. How does a party fail that hard? What idiots!
How are Democrats supposed to stop Trump for the next 2-4 years when they're busy fighting against things they did on his orders? They can't even stop *themselves* from passing laws apparently!
I hate seeing it as much as anyone, I would set trump on fire if I could, but its not wrong. its repulsive how people have to kiss his ass or else that vindictive child will turn on them, but we did this, we could have stopped all of this and we chose not to.
The next open source piece of software that allows creators to build their own equivalent of an email list of their followers is going to make disgusting 'fuck you' levels of money.
like a unique Follower ID that the follower links to a creator account. That account is linked to every
content/release platform the creator has (and updates)
That way if one platform goes down, the creator wont be disconnected from their follower. The follower can unfollow at any time. The creator can block a follower whenever, and it's all platform agnostic.
No one has put together that Trump’s proposal of the Government owning 50% of TikTok would be state owned media. The man is proposing state owned media.
This appears to be, at minimum, a violation of the Logan Act. Additionally, colluding with the Chinese Communist Party to circumvent laws prohibiting foreign businesses from operating in the U.S. raises serious concerns about potential illegal activities, including espionage.
I’m deleting them all as well and TikTok will be next. Why USA has to force companies to sell 50%? If it’s so easy claim communist spies, then we have bunch of neonazi spies being owners of social media as well. Here the example of non North American but very much Nazi.
I deleted TrumpTok as soon as it "came back." On the selling of 50%, as far as I am aware, this is a first, frankly, IMO, it's not constitutional or legal to force the sale of a private company. All of this is Trump and his cronies.
what would you like them to say? we did this, we banned tiktok, and biden signed it into law. if dems want good press maybe they should stop fucking up so goddamn always. we handed this to trump, and everyone knew it every step of the way, this was always going to happen.
I saw this notification and promptly deleted my account and removed the app. They asked why I was deleting my account and gave me a few options. I chose “other” and said “I refuse to support an app that thanks a man-baby for keeping them up even though HE wanted them banned in 2020.”
But w/ Trump in power &his moves in recent months, getting closer to Xi, removing Chinese investment restrictions from the govt CR, his inaugural invitation to Xi, the Chinese Communist Party VP &TT CEO attending..

50%owned by the US government and totally obsequious to Trump.
