The best part about this is that now the libs will stop criticizing China for “censoring the internet”!
they won’t thoughoh so that’s what the emote is for
hey remember that time facebook sold out a teen girl to the feds for discussing her abortion in a “private” direct chat, in this backsliding country where things that are perfectly legal can suddenly become illegal out of nowhere?
you should really worry about tiktok having your data though because there’s a lot they can do with it, like uh… uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
Xi Jinping will PERSONALLY be forwarded the nation’s most embarrassing dance tiktoks, which will be used as blackmail material. Not so innocent anymore, is it?
They don’t even have the data, the data is Warehoused in an Oracle server farm stateside for any toktok accounts in NATO nations.
Our wet boy is pro-TikTok now because libs are the ones banning it
Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 US Presidential Election may also present a lifeline for the app.
Despite unsuccessfully attempting to ban TikTok during his first term in 2020, he said in the run-up to the November elections he would not allow the ban on TikTok to take effect.
Genuinely smart move. If he takes credit for saving TikTok, that will harm Democrats
Just like pulling out of Afghanistan and giving people money during covid. Kinda wild how doing good things for people make them like you. Incredible how bad political instincts the democrats have
The average elitist loathes giving the people what they want so much they use populist" as a derogatory term.
I was so confused when I figured out what a populist was. “He just gives people what they want!” Oh? And that’s… bad?.. Because… We don’t want people to have what they want?
VPN market is gonna take off
Damn right loony CCP lovers, I’ll have meta and google spying on me thank you very much, boohoo Xi Jinping!
Seriously where all my 4th amendment stans?
At least it means less Americans on the app lmao
I hope the project is a success, but I am a bit worried about the developer being like “It is not open source yet, but it will be!”
Oh one hand, I understand the impulse. Maintaining an open source community can easily be a full time job if not several full time jobs if you let it. And it being open source opens the flood gates for heavy stress testing even moreso than just having a live website does. But on the other hand, it raises concerns about security through obscurity, privacy, and licensing.
That said, if they do open source it, I’ll be hosting an instance ASAP for my kids and their friends
Some of our more talented, less decrepid users should get in there early. If I hadn’t sent this as a letter to my grandson to print here I’d be all over it
Bröthër, may I have some loops?
No!!! You will get enshitification from bluesky or loops and you will enjoy it like the good corporate shill that you are. Lol
Can MomTok survive this???
sadly no, there will be no more mothers after the banning

I think that answers your question.
I hope trump is dumb enough to prevent this because tiktok is by far the best social media platform out there for us right now. The Palestine support would be significantly lower without tiktok.
Palestine support is the reason why they want it gone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEDGZlG_41k
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Yes, ban the treat factories, I’m sure that’s a good strategy.
TikTok has a good number of Shitsraeli intelligence bodies running it, interesting they’re still planning to ban it.
TikTok is controlled by the CIA anyway
