So this is a bummer. My MuellerSheWrote TikTok account is just … gone. I had like 30K followers. I didn’t use it much, but it simply disappeared. I can’t even find any evidence that it existed. It was https://TikTok.com/@muellershewrote

Finding or establishing independent platforms and commentators away from the influence of John Gotti/Trump is going to be key. Cc @mcuban.bsky.social @mehdirhasan.bsky.social
People can create their own server (instance) with mastodon. Then you own your server and everything you post, with no tech bros or billionaire corporate overlords to censor you.
Hmmmm, could it be that someone doesn't want to see Tik-Tok broken up/sold? What better way than to remove the opposition to someone who might have influence.
that happened to me and I was only using it for book recs, nothing political at the time. but I was inactive for a while. so I think it was bc of that.
Conspiracy theory: they are doing that to accounts that are "anti-Trump", "anti-right", "anti-conservative", etc.
trying to keep from being banned or something.
That sucks. Sorry to see that. It's like a war on reality, on dissent, on truth, and presumably TikTok hasn't been compromised yet, but apparently it has.
Scary. It feels like there is a conspiracy to silence you. I am beginning to feel the need to establish even more alternative information sources than Bluesky.
There was a report 2 years ago showing many were buying or downloading movies and shows because they were seeing edits made in the streaming and wanted to keep it as it was
They are cracking down just like all other media/social platforms bowing down to the clown. I’m a little nobody and I’m getting hit again with violations for nothing. Bluesky is only safe space now.
The question is did they erase all political accounts or just the ones criticizing Trump? I’m not on TikTok so I don’t know. Did they erase Politics Girl also?
Meta can be a tool of the fascist regime. That’s fine. We can be the seekers of the truth and call them out. Zuckerberg is just another jack ass in a sea of jack asses bent on Power.
The Oligarchs own the SM platforms and the government has acknowledged, by not passing any accountability laws, that they can do whatever they want.
Too many people make their livelihoods off the platforms. So like legacy journalists, they'll just look the other way & let lies rule.
Not a fan but I “opened” a TikTok account recently in order to watch a video, and when I went to watch it I was told I had been banned for posting too much inappropriate material. I’d never even been on it?
One of the challenges of social media ... you do not truly own the content or means of distribution. I am pondering a method of self hosting microblogs with Ghost and using Zapier to push the updates to Bluesky and others. I need to workout pulling reposts and comments .... hmmm
They are raising anyone with a message other than the one they want to project for the first time ever I have an account warning. But no violated videos.
45 is following in putins footsteps that’s why maga has been programmed to love Russia. If your propaganda is successful you’ll love the very thing that’s going to kill you. He’s already proven that. Every platform except bluesky is bending the knee for 45 for profit & fascism.
They killed my original account with over 11k followers because my posts kept getting flagged even though when I'd appeal, I'd win 99% of them. Everything is awful, Allison.
don't you find it suspicious and interesting that trump wants to go to SCOTUS to fight the tiktok ban that is supposed to happen this month? it's waving a red flag, and you know there are ulterior motives behind his quest. what do you think they are?
They want access to the same data they are supposedly scared of China having. TT was a platform for targets in their culture war. Being able to purchase tracking data from TT and China is easier and less legally fraught than trying to collect it via other methods
it’s the “Free Speech” a battle for AI between the largest tech companies, the unleashing of harmful social media in the US ( ex: inflammatory language that incites violence or riots) rather than the EU regulations that protect values, decency & (to a measurable extent) privacy.
It's so risky having our "public squares" be privately owned, as they are.
Not sure there's a solution, but can't we stop them all being owned by the same person/entity? (Not as if I'd like our current government running social media spaces tho)

He’s Canadian and wealthy Canadians are getting in the disinformation business. Trump’s business partner, Rumble CEO, is Canadian. They platform Russian disinformation.
I'll contend that Chinese government control of Tik Tok is more troubling than some little American prick who owns Facebook. The difference is the potential for active vs. passive aggression against our democracy -- or what's left of it.
If Republicans are so worried about TikTok online disinformation… Why did Republicans get rid of the department monitoring online disinformation?
It’s not about our safety. They’re just greedy.
Well, thank Yam Tits for saving Tik Tok for the Chinese. Clearly, there is no manipulation here. Seriously, I'd call a NYT reporter. There is a story here.
Here’s the search result page and the first capture from 2023. Not much to see. Try this link for the Wayback Machine home page, and put your TikTok URL in the search field. Hopefully that works for you. https://web.archive.org

PInterest were quick to reinstate an account there (someone posted porn in December when I was away). I hope Tiktok are as speedy.

I didn’t stay there because when the news got hot, there just wasn’t enough discussion of the things I wanted to read about. I do like it here better.
(I still want my space back)

Info like yours interrupts the flow of hot new dances for the kids.
World DOMINION
If O Leary buys it for pennies on the dollar it will be another Musk like shit show
10 years of Twitter investigations & posts. Disappeared.
When they kill us, there is no one to complain or report to.
Sentence trump to 4 years & take him from the court.
