Heck look how many believed he was going to lower gas and egg prices and now they can’t attend the coronation. Not sure how they pay for flights and hotels when they can’t afford groceries and gas.
I took a video of my fyp which was briefly accessible on my laptop. I think they’re already messing with it on the backend. I got a video from a Trump account and all other videos were from November 2024. It’s weird.
Also, the lemon8 app is not working either and I tried downloading another app, and that apps not working, even though they had an update three days ago
He'll work with them all right but it'll cost them a lot of money which he'll promptly pocket. That's why he said he'll have to take a look at it, so he can make a deal. I'll let you stay if you pay me.
TIKTOK went maga. Defund Deactivate Delete! No meta No twitter No truth social. Oligarchs welcome Shou Chow to the boys club. Shou will like 4ths on the diaper don.
Please everyone throw your support behind @buildwithtori.com @reedharmeyer.bsky.social and their tiktok replacement for bluesky called @skylight.social !!!! Bigger and better to come. We won't be gaslit! Time to take power back from oligarchs! It won't be the same tiktok anymore anyways.
This would be the 2nd platform that was MURDERED BY TRUMP & COHORTS. Even if it comes back it's NOT going to be the same... It will more than likely become a MORE DYSFUNCTIONAL version of X. Now he wants to rescind cause there's money involved??? -ONE.?💯🤔
That last paragraph 😂😂😂. Trump is the person who got us here. The app will not be the same and I’m sure it will be some type of money grab for Trump and his oligarch friends. Disgusting.
Saaaaame! It won’t be the same TikTok without the algorithm and I don’t want to endorse the corruption of a government forcing a company to sell to its competitors for whom those government officials are invested in!
They were always like this. It's one of the biggest misinformation machines. Facebook, too. Because it makes A LOT of money to manipulate and prey on people's ignorance.
Yep lol. I've been following the tech bro influence in politics for at least 15 years now and how they manipulated politics in Silicon Valley. The rabbit hole goes deep.
Thiel, Zuckerberg and a lot of them have known each other for decades now.
Why not? I feel like a huge reason why people can’t believe he “switched up” is because a lot of you infantilize Asians and act like they’re not capable of doing evil things. He’s literally a ceo. What did you expect?
Red Note/Xiaohongshu is a better app anyways. Better algorithm, it's more chill, folks are moving there anyways, and we're go going to need international solidarity and news as things evolve. Screw Meta AND TikTok, I don't want to be on a platform pushing American fascist propaganda 24/7.
We've been discussing politics and history over there from the day I joined. There's more restrictions for Chinese citizens and, even then, they've discussed politics and issues in their country with us for the last week.
Chinese folks have expressed concern about this happening. They fear they might lose the ability to communicate outside China if other app users get too bold. Does this seem like an issue to you?
I’m asking about your personal thoughts and experiences. I’m not wanting you to explain the app. I’m asking if you feel conflicted in any way, if you see any potential issues… that’s all. Just looking for a first person account
Zuckerberg can rename it Meta Tok and monetize everyone’s data. The plan all along. With
Trump being the Hero of the problem they created. Meanwhile some good American people gladly welcomed China in to steal same data. 👏
a Singaporean man with close ties to China CARES SOOOOO much for American free speech? please! It's a bs lie because free speech didn't even exist on that app.
If he cares so much about free speech, he should be working to get free speech for CHINA, so they can talk about Tiananmen Sq.
Kissing Donald Trump's ass has me really concerned now. I fear that TikTok will be gone even if it comes back because I will not participate in it if Trump or any of the oligarchy are involved
It was always a misinformation machine. It's just not shy about whoever it will align with for top dollar anymore. Trump loyalists don't care about anyone. This is an oligarchy.
This is why I don't understand why so many people are upset. Tiktok is absolutely terrible. Misinformation was the whole point, disguised as "social media".
It's also easier to just block or say whatever you want on social media. Which is far different to conflict or socializing irl. I think people are seriously hooked on that (add in era of chatgbt "friends") Can't self regulate emotions, can't deal with conflict & in a country with credible violence.
All this is on point. Social media in this climate has really become more of a liability, than an asset. Then you have people like musk and zuch doing whatever they can to make things worse.
A lot of people are not equipped to deal or detect that. It's readily available escapism *with* harmful content. Like a security blanket& now it's taken away.People are also distracted by thinking the tiktok ban is the only thing the entire government is doing. Because they're disconnected from it.
People enjoy it because it reflects their interests. When used for entertainment or slice of Life, it is very effective. If you go looking for trash, you will find trash. Most people do not go there for the dark side, and it isn't forced on them. It is still there because some ppl want it.
I know. I also understand algorithms and grifting. It's impossible to escape the "trash" content- ask why it keeps getting pushed and who is vulnerable to it (many people are- in a country with low education and literacy levels.)
Hard agree. It's intentional. For those that are vulnerable and get enraged by it- our time, data, money, energy are what they're after. If we don't realize all politics are community issues, we abandon community and supplement a synthetic (and ai generated) alternative.
I kind of think it’s a blatant attempt at manipulating a narcissist. Tik tok is nothing without American content. It will fail eventually without us. They’re main goal is to get it operating again ASAP
With such a message praising Trump when he was the one wanting to shut down in the first place, if people are still using it after all that, then they are dumber than I thought possible.
When you find yourself
subjected to the rants of
Trump, Musk and FOX
news remind yourself
from time to time that
before the internet all of
this would have been
merely the scrawlings
on toilet walls in unkept
public bathrooms or the
floors of padded cells.
if they take the orange one at his word , they must be crazy. the only way he allows this back is if one of his billionaire d/owners gets control of it.
I came here to say this and felt alone on red note where Americans were posting that “ trumps our only hope to save tt”. I never want to return to that app if it’s through him. The amount of likes and comments agreeing was saddening to see. Create a problem then fix it, it’s out of a basic playbook.
Trump has never and will never save anyone but him and his interests. I don't respect him or anyone who supports him at all. A friend of my enemy is my enemy. Period.
Yeah I’m not going back. I don’t care if Trump, Meta or whatever “saves” TikTok. They killed it and TT won’t be TT anymore. It’ll be different. I’m done. I hope Americans wake up and realize our government has failed us. Only on an app can they unite. Not healthcare, vets, homeless. F USA.
Trump publicly initiated this in 2020.. I know it's been in the works longer. They just been waiting for him to be reelected. Shou in on it too. This whole country a game to be played and we are losing.

#tiktok works fine
they left the backdoor open i guess

If you ever need a nerd...
I'm also pretty sure Peter Thiel is working quietly in the background of all of this too, IMO.
Thiel, Zuckerberg and a lot of them have known each other for decades now.
I won't die without TikTok.
If he restores it , be like X
No thank you.
First thing a dictatorship does is control the media
Trump being the Hero of the problem they created. Meanwhile some good American people gladly welcomed China in to steal same data. 👏

Meta will now be State social media.
