The number of folk in here who think it’s no big deal the gov’t shut it down is disheartening. Your freedom of assembly (1st amendment) has been shuttered. This time, it’s one you don’t care about. Next time it might be something you DO care about. It should concern anyone calling themselves “free”
Celebration time for the US. I do worry about the lack of good alternatives like a proper reddit webm swiper app, going to check if that's included now in the only app reddit didn't ban but if it is, it's not widely used/known. https://www.kialo.com/should-tiktok-be-banned-in-the-us-63051
I thought that it was going to still be available for 3 months after Trump took office. He does not want people to share information about him on TikTok so he had it banned just before he takes office. We will now be fed twitter lies.
Don’t fall for this. It will miraculously come back on Monday at 12:01 and trump will be hailed a hero by the legion of morons that have nothing better to do with their lives than watch mind numbing drivel videos.
That subtle, manipulative wording is exactly WHY TikTok should be banned unless sold to a company under Western or Democratic jurisdiction. The Chinese Communist Party is literally playing with our heads right now.

Trump was the first to publicly talk about banning it.. a Republican wrote the law.
The idea that Trump is the savior here is insulting and stupid
Brb going on eBay.
...so this is TikTok upping the stakes and applying pressure, forcing Trump to walk the walk and put his money where his mouth is.
They know they can't trust what he says in the spur of the moment, but they can make him look weak.
