Most people slept through the bulk of TikTok’s outage. But the political play and a list of things that seem new or different on the app have left a bad taste in some users’ mouths.

Remind me how, in the last 24 hours, TikTok is no longer a national security threat.
POS Pussy Grabber is the same d!ck who keeps national secrets in his tacky toilet, lets Chinese spies wander his horrid hotel, and tells billionaires how nuclear subs work.
Meta is playing a key role in supressing TikTok. Not surprising really as (a) it's better engineered than anything Zuckie has come up with and (b) Meta is far more aggressive about capturing and exploiting user data than anything TikTok does.
Turned off Twitter, Facebook, Threads and Instagram. Only on BlueSky. The hatred and false information became too much and after the inauguration I wasn’t willing to put any energy into reading their vile posts.
I deleted the app as soon as they posted their ass licking statement about how lucky we are the Trump is going to save TT. Nope, they can have it. And Meta. And any other publication, news channel and media site that is controlled by right wing extremism.
Hitler also sowed seeds of distrust in mainstream media. He called it “Lügenpresse,” which translates to “fake news,” and eventually burned it all to the ground (literally and figuratively).
Yes but now politicians and their friends can actively be fascist which is obviously what the First Amendment was about.
I mean losing the right to talk about that, identify yourself in a way that makes you comfortable, or in any way challenge the government is a small irrelevant price to pay
I uninstalled Tiktock when DJT talked about saving it. I have misgivings when there is a 180 degree turn on it, especially after he went to the ball with the broligarchs.
I closed my FB and IG and quit meta. Been back on TT but my gut feeling is not to trust it. I want scroll and keep up with my faves but I can't ignore the weird feeling
How much does the average Chinese citizen pay for an ambulance ride? An overnight stat at the hospital? How much of their income is spent on housing? How about groceries?
I don’t think it’s even about the money, primarily. It’s about Media control. They want control of that giant platform. And now they have it. Everything Trump-negative has now been blocked.
Yeah. The fact that Trump now essentially controls the majority of main stream social media. X, Meta Apps, and now Tik Tok. It’s a propaganda machine. He can now control what information is distributed. I will never understand how fact-checking is a bad thing. Lies are lies & people are scared.
This. I do not understand why the major news media is succumbing to this! Historically, the news controls a lot of the narrative. That’s how he got elected…. And it’s terrifying for those of us that actually paid attention in history class.
I’m a J school grad who worked in news and in public television and to watch the disintegration of news outlets like The Post and NYTs has been devastating. The Fourth Estate has absolutely crumbled. Katharine Graham would be furious.
It’s disgusting. This entire situation is history repeating itself. It’s highlighting exactly how badly our education system is lacking. Other countries have developed plans for how to deal with US. That should never happen. We are no longer a superpower.. we are the enemy to an entire planet.
My FYP was completely different when it came back. I could not search for things like protest or Kamala. Received lots of bible ads, MAGA hate posts and some porn on my FYP! This app will be used to spread international propaganda for Musk and censor us in the US.
Well, isn’t that just fantastic. The same way Facebook reversed my block list and auto-followed Trump, his wife, and his South American husband. I deleted TikTok when I saw the Trump
Message. Deleted all Meta apps after that little stunt. No, thank you,

Why are not talking about this?

is this account handled by the janitorial staff at this point?
WaPo didn't sleep thru a fascist's rise to power... it actively promoted it
anyone there with a shred of dignity would leave
I've left jobs without a net when I found the place went foul
It's ending hilariousness.
On the wrong planet.
PS: Tiktok *was* banned. Trump didn't bring it back. Don't believe me? Try and find it on the App Store.
How do you figure the standard of living in China has a damn thing to do with what I wrote?
