and many people don’t know: the reason Chinese are banned from TikTok and they can only use the Chinese version, Douyin, is to “protect” them from being influenced by Western ideologies
I don’t care if they have my info as long as they don’t get to my bank account. Which is entirely possible…but we need to collectively revolt. The government isn’t by and for the people any more.
The thing that scares me is I have already seen articles about congress people claiming Red Note is next on the list. I’m sure some of it is just looking for clicks but can’t help but wonder how long it will take now that the precedent is set.
RedNote doesn't seem to me to be much different from TikTok as far as the ostensible reason for the judgement went. So I would be surprised if it lasts much longer.
Unless there were some ulterior motive that made Tiktok a special target.
Well I’m older not old. But have had someone hack an app and sell off about $12k in stock I’ve never recovered. So yep…just a little paranoid knowing that China literally invests in hacking farms.
Trump started this shit! And now his going to try to be a savior! Only to use it for propaganda. I can’t stand this country! We clearly are not free here! And I’m sick of it!
Get mad. Call out my government. Don't make me protest alone. Please show them the world is not as divided as they are trying to make it seem. They are painting a narrative that we all know is false.
I'm in Nebraska and it's dark here too. I got a message when it went down that Trump will have to decide whether he will stop the ban. That's so annoying. Ugh
Let’s not blame Trump or Biden right now. This is a censorship issue which ultimately both parties agreed to. Or perhaps it’s a control issue, or just wanting a piece of the pie $ issue? BUT it is certainly not a party issue.
It is political …. Many people will be so happy with Trump as the one who solved this (way back it was his initiative ). They will not care about the utter chaos or failure to keep all the outrageous promises…. End wars lower rent. Who cares … he fixed Tik Tok
Yeah what the hell?! I thought this was gonna be my sanctuary. I lost so many tik tok friends now because we all followed each other on lemon but nowhere else
Bytedance made the decision to pull them. The law is directed to Apple and Google continuing to offer the apps on their App Store. Under the law, the apps could have continued to function. But bytedance made the decision to make the services go dark to anyone with a U.S. account.
#CapCut of all 3 apps is still banned AND MAGICALLY #META launches a new app TODAY called #Edits to compete with CapCut. META created #TikTok accounts got verified in the few hours TikTok was down. Now TikTok prompts you to link your profile to FB. HOW FUCKING DUMB DO THEY THINK WE ARE?!
Neither side did nothing to stop it because the bipartisan law has been passed, signed and uphold by the SC.
Even if Trump insists of playing a hero, all he can do is giving 90-day extension so ByteDance can sell to a non-Chinese-buyer. ByteDance doesn’t seem to want to sell. The question is, WHY?
I was just trying to reply at all. I’m not super familiar with this platform yet. I had no intention of calling you out or something if that’s what you’re getting at.
Supposedly, if you make a new account under a different phone number or email address on a different device with a v p n and your location.As another country, it works
Thats bcos they're asking you to register with your phone number. If it was email, we might still be able to access with VPN but phone number is registered to your country.
I'm like 90% sure in a weak or less it will be back up, and they will act like trump saved it, just it being banned it places its not supposed to shows tick tock isn't taking it seriously otherwise they would try to keep as many people on it as they can
I'm in Australia and can't use TikTok because my account was under my old US phone number. But I could create a new account with my current Australian phone number.
I've never used tiktok much so creating a new account was no big deal for me, but I know it would be a real issue for a lot of people. There is a "contact me" option, but I'm sure they're overwhelmed at the moment.
😊 I requested a data download yesterday, but it still hasn’t come through so yeah, I reckon they are a little hard-pressed atm. Mainly I want a list of all the creators I follow, so I can track down my favs on other platforms.
They could get a cheap sim card, use it just long enough to get the text message with the code to activate the account, and then close the mobile account.
Thats bcos they're asking you to register with your phone number. If it was email, we might still be able to access with VPN but phone number is registered to your country.
It’s not just phone number. I think it’s actually from literally tracking where you physically were because I’m hearing of people who signed up with foreign numbers on US soil getting kicked off. I guess kinda makes sense if US servers are the closest servers to you when signing up?
ESPECIALLY, when you make the uneducated, racist, bigoted felon, the public, yes, man of the white spoopy ghosts 👻 the president of the very racist fascist country.
I'm surprised to hear that TikTok is restricted in Canada. It's possible that your internet provider or government has blocked access to the site. Have you tried contacting TikTok's support team or a VPN to resolve the issue?
I’ve tried several VPNs in Canada and Australia. I’m still getting a banned message but it doesn’t state US, it says “in your region”. I wonder if Meta or Elon actually was able to buy TikTok? One state media?????
Yeah I just tried that now myself and it says it cannot be accessed but you can still log in to download your stuff. It’s appears your IP, SIM & or if you used a US # to make the account all seems to be the factor if you can access it or not
So it appears your IP, SIM and or if you created your account with a US # all appears to be the defining factor of accessibility or not (from my understanding)
I saw a user in Australia who is locked out on substack - even tho she’s in Australia, with an Australian phone and number, but is an American citizen.
Hear me out! We start a rumor that MarkZ is the anti-Christ.Christian conservatives panic delete their FB and Meta accounts. #facebookboycott #tiktokban #boycottfacebook
I'm still in shock that this is real life. We would need a real good Trojan horse to get Truth Social users to believe anything that the orange man doesn't say.
Yeah, nothing is working. I'm in Albania (where they have also banned it, apparently). But I switched my VPN to the UK, and it worked for half a second, and then it shut me down again. 😔
Couldn't access it from Argentina..wIth an argentina ip and local argentine cell which was loaded in my tik toc profile. I was getting a South america tik tok feed, but boom, they pulled it today. I believe since the PHONE was purchased in the usa ...there is some very stealthy samsu or google code
that's unfortunate, but it's likely due to tiktok's geo-restrictions, not canada's government. many popular apps are blocked or restricted in certain countries due to local laws and regulations.

I have a music phone that I could try it on, maybe I will in a little while if I can get my v.P n on that phone
This is what I see…

What a tragedy it is
