"...but I heard it is different now."
Congrats on being willing to accept the US Govt & Oligarch Propaganda so easily.
You did precisely what they wanted you to do & are now conditioned to believe precisely whatever you "hear" on the internet.
They won.
You lost.

Because there's no actual reason to be boycotting TikTok & most saw they were being duped into boycotting.

Just someone who despises disinformation

And yet nothing is actually being censored.
ICE Raids are being reported & opposed on TT
Plenty of content criticizing in Donny's EOs
Livestreams continue to criticize Donny's administration.
It's almost like you might be deliberately spreading falsehoods.

Yep. As usual, the US believes they are the alpha & omega of the world & they get to make the rules.
Personally I want to see Canada, UK, & EU require Meta & Twitter to sell off their US ownership or face ban for being US spyware.

A search of TikTok videos this morning. Appears to be plenty on the ICE raids.

How exactly was my posting two screenshots of current TikTok searches showing your assertions of censorship regarding ICE & Donny were falsehoods "toxic trolling?"

And, as we can see, cat dude outside themselves as a Twitter/Meta troll.
comment in response to
post
Even if it is "performative clickbait," the content discusses Donny's Raids, talks about how to organize, & what to do if immigrants encounter ICE.
See, I actually watch & research before I post about something.
So, if Donny's got TikTok censoring ICE raid videos, how did I find & watch them?

I'll step up with ALL OFFENSE to cat dude because they are either conspiracy farmers or will believe every single lie they are told. They posted two lies just within this thread.
comment in response to
post
You're lying...
Here's a screenshot of a search about Donny's EOs. Plenty of critical content.
You are deliberately lying or are willing to swallow the lies you've been told.

And yet...a screenshot of a TikTok search at 10:05am Fri.
Plenty of videos about ICE raids this week.
So, who has been lying to people to make them mistrust TikTok?
Who could possibly gain from US users not trusting TT?
Hmmm...

No.
There is a absolutely no reason for them to sell when this is happening...

Or so you heard, right?
As someone who is actually still using TikTok, nothing has changed. Plenty of Lives slagging Donny & Elon. Plenty of Luigi vids. All the usual liberal media influencer reporting.
Nothing changed.
Well other than being able to fine tune your FYP topics.

Oligarchs are primarily concerned about making money. That cannot currently be done with TikTok as it's not in the app stores. Additionally, Oligarchs wish to extend the reach of their control which also cannot be currently done as it's not in the app store.

The ban has not been repealed or ended. Only Congress can pass a bill to repeal. All you need to do is look in the app store to see that you've been lied to & Donny has done fuck all as usual.

More bullshit spread by conspiracy farmers. How much are you getting paid by Mets & the US Govt to spread bullshit?
comment in response to
post
And yet that article is spreading falsehoods as the ban is still in effect.
comment in response to
post
So why isn't it available in the app store if it's been "taken over?"
comment in response to
post
And yet those oligarchs haven't restored the app they've "taken over" to the app stores.
Why?
comment in response to
post
Why is it "sarcasm" to point out verifiable factual evidence?
And why have you now defended Meta in two of my posts?
Curiouser & curiouser

Ok, show me the proof China is manipulating us.
As you've dismissed my statement, you clearly have well researched & documented evidence that China is using TikTok to manipulate us.
So here's your chance to prove your assertions.
(Spoiler alert: you can't)
comment in response to
post
And yet, the TikTok app is NOT available in with the Apple & Android stores proving everything you posted is bullshit.
comment in response to

Gee - when did community college become free in the US? I missed that.
comment in response to
post
Now the question you should be asking yourself is...
Is it more likely that China or the US Govt is manipulating you.
(Hint: it's not China)

250 million people in the US are on Facebook. It's the only source of news that many people ever see. The owner is a US Oligarch. The US Govt can use your data to spread disinformation & encourage division.
See how that works?

Plus you've also demonstrated your clear ignorance of a "server migration" as TikTok did a migration from there original servers to Oracle servers in 2022 without any service disruption.
And, BTW, you can find that by using...wait for it...
GOOGLE
comment in response to
post
It doesn't because not everyone needs to be spoonfed the obvious like you apparently need it.
But a traceroute shows TikTok is still on the same US Oracle Servers they were on prior to the outage.
But you're the "expert" so come on & back up your assertions.
You won't because you can't.
comment in response to
post
Sure sure. 15 years of doing it professionally means zero. So please tell me your extensive background in server tech. I'm sure you can't.

And what's the entry cost in nursing school?
Unless it's ZERO, then you have no understanding of modern youth reality.
comment in response to

Only if you have no idea how business works.
comment in response to
post
Yep - just like Hollywood or the music industry or the publishing industry or art industry or really any self employment choice vs working for a company that won't help you repay the massive debt required for entry.
comment in response to
post
As long as you have the money to go to nursing school.
comment in response to
post
Exactly. Just like anyone deciding to start their own business rather than going a shit ton on debt on college that they may never recoup.

We'll see if kids could train for those jobs for free & schools, utilities, & hospitals paid as much as creating in TikTok then that wouldn't be the case, right?
comment in response to

Sorry to hear that. Thankfully it may return soon depending on whether all the politicians joining the "Don't Ban" train support this ..

And you're wrong...
It was about proving ByteDance would gladly cut off the US & won't sell.
The only thing TT wants is a repeal - and OH LOOK AT THIS!!!
