I would have never found this. If Playstore didn't ban Capcut.

masslass33.bsky.social•100 days ago

They’re forcing us to mobilize and have cooking and make up tutorials in sketchy warehouses in the toilet paper district. We need to get busy making flyers to distribute. Hmm where have I seen this before.?

mth811.bsky.social•100 days ago

The kissing up to Trump doesn’t bode well even if they get ‘saved’… all the things that made TikTok good will be gone

Did you see the latest Lemon8 msg. It has changed.

rainboweclipse1989.bsky.social•99 days ago

I have a feeling M eta aquired the app.

alliefaye22.bsky.social•99 days ago

I sadly think so which is to me notttttt good at all

eahwp.bsky.social•100 days ago

I kept trying to tell everybody who was moving to the lemon. How were they gonna keep one and not the other? But I’m surprised by CapCut. I didn’t know they were owned by the same company. I just tried to login with my email address and got the message.

So underhanded, you tell us your banning one app and then you ban three

alliefaye22.bsky.social•100 days ago

It’s cause bytedance owns all 3

elyseat.bsky.social•100 days ago

shit I had NO idea CapCut was involved at all! would have gone through and downloaded some stuff 😩

alliefaye22.bsky.social•100 days ago

You can download your own right now but anything else isn’t working

pictureitsiciliy.bsky.social•100 days ago

Oh wow! It’s not even in the App Store anymore

jenny753.indiepocalypse.social•100 days ago

The sheer amount of people who signed up for Lemon8 thinking it wouldn't be included in the ban. Oh gosh. I feel for them.

bokzumi.bsky.social•100 days ago

you know that the bill that made the TikTok ban happen had a bunch of things in it, and the TikTok ban was something that was hidden and snuck in, right? it’s not just one party that’s responsible.

amc3dox.bsky.social•100 days ago

Joe Biden could've done something about it. ALL of the Dems could've voted against it instead of meat riding Elon and Mark

No, the Dems are great at their true purpose- to be the same as the GOP. Your "two party" system is fake.

olgraymaher.bsky.social•100 days ago

I thought we had until midnight in our respective regions but looks like the company wanted to hammer home they were gonna prioritize smooshing Dems' faces in their shit.

herefornaps.bsky.social•100 days ago

And let’s be real, once TikTok is “saved” it’s going to be a Meta duplicate.

We’ve been telling democrats for a decade that they’re actions are going to have severe consequences and they still don’t get it or care

markbravus.bsky.social•100 days ago

When are voters going to realize Democrats and Republicans are two faces of the same coin? They are just handing out different color Kool Aid but it's all the same corruption.

syllabicsamurai.bsky.social•100 days ago

I somehow doubt the folks who would vote Republican because they "saved TikTok" were a reliable constituency for Democrats. Besides in about 30 days there will be so much chaos TikTok will be the least of folks worries.

naturistrich.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yeah.....I just could not care less about Tick Tock

Democrats haven’t done jack shit to stop him. They’ve had years and they’ve done nothing but hold to trying to be polite. This shit is for sure on their hands.

allegedlymissy.bsky.social•100 days ago

💯

endlessdays.bsky.social•100 days ago

From a comms perspective, don’t you think that ‘saving’ tik tok is one of the dumbest things he could possibly do? It wasn’t banned because of security, it was banned because it bred dissent. Unless tik tok likes his pockets somehow, I don’t see a good motive here.

fairverona.bsky.social•100 days ago

The only way to change anything is for many, many people to participate in their community and government. But given the election, I'm not sure people will.

duus.bsky.social•100 days ago

It was such a dumb law. A law which outlines rules for social media companies and privacy? I'm all in favor. But what is TikTok doing that we know Meta or X isn't doing? And, if we can identify that thing, why isn't the law about that?

little-thieves.com•100 days ago

It just boils down to its ok if American data goes to American companies, but not foreign companies. Hence why Meta/X are scot-free and Tiktok will be too once an American gets to own that sweet American data harvesting

bearemy313.bsky.social•100 days ago

Im seeing people all over the world say they can’t access the app now. 👀 This is getting messy!

itsjustmason.bsky.social•100 days ago

It’s also not illegal to use it? Like what is this? The law blocks the App Stores from having it on there, not users from continuing to access it.

lostservice22.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yup.

owlseer.bsky.social•100 days ago

It’s a special brand of awful: the people know how to create an unnecessary problem in the first place, to only then set it up so that it is they who swoop right back in to be the one to fix the problem (and get the credit). Ughhh 🤦‍♀️

100% said he changed his mind because of the massive alt-right platform on there that either got him the youth vote or made folks stay home.

Also not at all surprised because we have people think that abortion bans are Biden’s fault

madgreek2024.bsky.social•100 days ago

Sadly we have too many gullible uneducated misinformed fools, who vote.

little-thieves.com•100 days ago

It’s seriously bonkers and makes me completely believe the data out there about our country being highly uneducated. Half the time in leftist spheres, I feel like I’m talking to my MAGA coworker because they believe the same right-wing talking point or misinformation campaign

sarahsthoughts.bsky.social•100 days ago

Banned on the eve of the ban. I couldn’t scroll past 9:41 PM CT.

lucanisbrowlicker.bsky.social•100 days ago

I’m betting there’s been a deal in place for a long time and they’ve been keeping it under wraps for this exact reason

travelmsw.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yep

scgpdxsf.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yep. Exactly. Completely played here.

mamashark321.bsky.social•100 days ago

Feels like Republicans are actively trying to destroy us while Democrats only pretend like they’re trying to stop it, but they’re actually on the same side as the Rs.

bobbyblossom.bsky.social•100 days ago

This is my thought. They slow them down to make us feel safe for a bit, then when we're complacent again they lay it up for the fascists to have another run until they don't need to soothe us anymore.

This smells a lot like Reagan “miraculously” freeing the Iranian hostages as soon as he came into office. History doesn’t repeat, it rhymes.

Except in that situation Jimmy Carter didn’t work with Reagan to hand him that win. Joe Biden and dems just presented this gift to Trump.

Biden wasn’t going to uphold the ban. But the republicans were hell bent on pushing this because Trump wanted it and convinced everyone that it was the gravest national Security threat. It was such a big blown up deal forever and the reason I never downloaded the app 😹

Hitler often manufactured, exaggerated, or exploited problems to consolidate power and justify extreme measures portraying himself as the savior of Germany.

itsjustmescott.bsky.social•100 days ago

How is Biden consolidating power ? His last day is tomorrow at noon. The Chinese Government OWNS TikTok. a foreign government not Friendly to the USA. They were told If they sold it , that it would not be banned. They failed because Their goal is to to get out information.

commonsensesally.bsky.social•100 days ago

Trump… this is about Trump. Trump first signed the Executive order banning Tik Tok.

itsjustmescott.bsky.social•100 days ago

So Trump bad, China Good? Naw both are bad

TikTok needs to be banned until they sell it to a NON GOVERNMENT ENTITY. It does not matter who signed what.

CHINA BAD

itsjustmescott.bsky.social•100 days ago

Do you know why the ban was placed?

TikTok is a CHINESE GOVERNMENT OWNED APP, They collect data on all their users through out their lives. Some of those users will grow up and work for the US Government. China finds users who work for the US Government and gather their data.

jupitersrequiem.bsky.social•100 days ago

If this is the case why did so many us politicians have accounts on the platform not to mention 2 years ago TikTok US not to be confused with the Chinese equivalent Douyin moved it’s servers over to Oracle a us company based in Texas so loud and wrong.

hueymelo.bsky.social•100 days ago

It is owned by byte dance which is a Chinese company China dies not own the company

itsjustmescott.bsky.social•100 days ago

Like with most big Chinese companies, China's ruling Communist Party has set up a party branch at ByteDance - in 2014, according to state media, raising concerns about Beijing's influence over the company.

hueymelo.bsky.social•100 days ago

You do know the Chinese do that to every company, right!! Also, the Chinese are not communist

itsjustmescott.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yes they are still COMMUNISTS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Communist_Party

michelemarden.bsky.social•100 days ago

Anyone who believes that the TikTok ban is anything other than theater is naive. It was a way to blackmail them into paying Felon47 a massive amount of money. And the first “influencer” who is grateful to Trump for “lifting” the ban can fatwo.

Biden signed it into law in the face of creators that supported his campaign also tge creluel way it was done cannot be forgotten.

Yeah, hate them so much.

therowanraventree.bsky.social•100 days ago

i get that and i'm definitely not denying it. but time after time Dem Politicians have proven how spineless they are, so why do we keep putting our chips in with them when we know they're just going to fold

bgjamison.bsky.social•100 days ago

Oh yeah that’s because our country was designed to have an “only two parties at a time” system- it’s definitely not by choice! Maybe this will be the downfall of the Democratic Party, we can only hope.

therowanraventree.bsky.social•100 days ago

Like just to be clear, Tiktok was banned for a few main reasons. 1) it was taking $ out of FB and Twitter's stocks
2) It was giving us live news updates about Israel's genocide against Palestine
3) We talked w ppl globally and learned
that's it right there.
