Apple and Google removed TikTok from their mobile app stores in the US as required by a law that took effect Sunday, after the social media company failed to head off the measure passed last year to address national security concerns.

Addressing national security concerns is a red herring. It's all about getting TikTok into domestic oligarchic hands to capture those profits and to stymie anti-Israeli political speech.
This proofs US is just as repressive as all those countries we were told bot to even go visit! All it counts is the billionaires’ interests! Sad to learn so late
I had already started the slow decline away from FB, IG and even Amazon. This just makes it easier to go. I mean Amazon literally changed the physical face of my town. Half the stores are closed. We gotta get these billionaires in check with or w/o TikTok.
I have followed suit in many respects but town centres started declining long before Amazon's dominance and will continue even if it is no longer there. The nostalgia for town centres, as were, is seriously over-done.
BLOG: In a few years time when it’s obvious to everyone, not just those paying attention, we will think of Trump voters as we think of those who voted for Hitler. If you know any, remember them and remind them, because they are to blame for the calamity to come.
To override this LAW is breaking the law and defying SCOTUS. When you hear the Felon say the phrase
“I have total immunity”
drink. Soon you will be able to get through the days much easier and return to sleeping. Of course you might get alcohol related cancer. Oh well.
The Chinese government is going to do their best to make trump it's puppet. The truth is, we'll be at war with china in the next 3 years. They will do everything to destroy every device in the U.S. via malware.
REMEMBER:
TikTok & Rednote's only mission is to keep Americans dumb and occupied.
China doesn't need to go to war. They, a Communist Nation, already have everything they need and already beat the US at its own game.... Capitalism. That must sting.
How many countries has the US gone to war with over the decades? How many regime changes? What about China in that same amount of time? You think nobody can check code on devices to find malware? Has any been found yet? Anything tangible other than fearmongering?
Not from China. And not this frequently with or without China. Then again I have over 30 years experience in cyber security. You might surprise me but I doubt it.
TikTok was the ONLY place giving actual news. Things were happening that legacy news refused to cover. They banned it because we were banding together. Can't have the masses waking up, right?
They’re just rubbing their hands with glee anticipating how many millions will be flocking to their app stores by Wednesday latest when TikTok is miraculously unbanned
So, interesting thing about that: Congress has shown it can move rapidly if it wants to. ANOTHER interesting thing about that: Legislation without enforcement is just dry, boring fancy paper. People seem to think laws enforce themselves…
Making so much fuss about Chinese own social media tiktok and yet nothing is being done about X and FB destroying our democracy with their mis-information and lies now that is OK.
“Tick tick”: US citizens about to rank money above security aren’t they? With security already above school children in a list of five (health is bottom) it’s not a pretty look. Can’t even walk the “Tok”……
Fake news. Headline should read “US Oligarchs convince US society China is stealing their data so they can fight over who gets to own it and control all your data”
If you are upset with the TT ban but still plan to use any Meta platform & Amazon. You’re doing exactly what they want. Stop, if you can. Delete accounts, boycott Amazon. Both platforms directly benefit from TT ban!
Meanwhile all American content is still on the app, lights are on but no one is home. If our data was really in that much danger why is it still all there. 🙄 why didn’t all the American accounts get taken down?
