UPDATE 1/18: TikTok OFFICIALLY SHUTS DOWN IN the United States, sends message saying DONALD TRUMP WILL SAVE US to 170 MILLION AMERICANS

[JT-Money]

People we're really making money on that garbage app?

Who knew??

 

[bnew]

That's like 1% of the userbase.



And if they are actually successful, they will adapt. Am i wrong?

these people are on multiple platforms and their experiences are largely the same, the tiktok algorithm is better at connecting them with potential customers. go on teh small business/marketing forums, communities and chatrooms to find months or years old conversations of them telling people the pros and cons of each platform and see how tiktok is discussed.

Am I the i the only one who doesn’t give a fukk?

you don't give a fukk about the government setting a dangerous precedent that will undoubtedly lead to more online bans the building of a censorship apparatus?

 

[TDT]

wow

these tiktokers got 36 hours to move their fans somewhere else before they go dark

Some of these content creators are literally crying in their cars

There will be something else that people eventually gravitate to.

As long as they don’t ban YouTube or the Coli I’m good.

RedNote,Fanbase and Lemon8 already got a bunch of "TikTok refugees"...

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

My sister in law is a hairstylist, and makes hair products, and tik tok has helped her business tremendously after going viral.

No, I’m not telling y’all who it is, because I’m in some of her videos.

 

[Armchair Militant]

They said TikTok CEO going to be at the inauguration.

They walking this back

I don’t support the ban, but this is pathetic from all sides.

 

[TDT]

I don’t support the ban, but this is pathetic from all sides.

Watch Elon Musk will make an announcement "You are now looking at the NEW owner of TikTok!!!"

 

[Fillerguy]

A slippery slope into infringing on first amendment rights



A slippery slope into the executive branch ignoring/rejecting bipartisan laws that even the SCOTUS thinks are valid


We're fukked either way and we deserve it.

I thought about switching to RedNote but then read this

Is RedNote Safe? Here’s What Millions Of TikTok Users Need To Know

As TikTok users flock to RedNote, there are several considerations, including the privacy of your data. Here’s what you need to know.

www.forbes.com

According to RedNote’s privacy policy, the platform collects a large amount of data including sensitive information such as your location via your IP address, browsing habits and more. Adding to this, RedNote’s terms and conditions are in Mandarin, and users are struggling to convert them into English.


Experts warn of the risks of sharing your data without careful consideration.“RedNote might seem like a quick fix for TikTok fans ahead of its potential ban in the U.S., but it comes with serious cybersecurity and privacy risks,” says Adrianus Warmenhoven, cybersecurity expert at NordVPN.


Like TikTok, RedNote is subject to Chinese data laws. This may grant government authorities access to user data without the privacy protections expected in the U.S., says Warmenhoven. “The platform collects extensive personal data, including location, browsing activity, and device-specific information like IP addresses. It can also share this data with third-party service providers or government authorities, raising concerns about user privacy,” he says.

apparently this is suppose to scare users who have facebook, instagram, twitter, snapchat and youtube also installed.

Were you saying this during the Facebook hearings years ago? Or are you just mad that the platform that gave you easy views to your content is going away?

I don't really care to be honest but I know my girl gonna be pissed because she likes using TikTok to watch a lot of motivational videos, love shows, advertise some of her photography work, and stuff like that.

As far as Trump “saving” TikTok, that's just his marketing ploy to win certain people over, similar to his putting his name on stimulus checks. If he were to save or put up a fight for TikTok it could create millions of newly found supporters to be on his side.

Is saving TikTok worth all that risk? Let's be honest: most people aren't using TikTok for political purposes; that's just on the surface as of late. Most people are using it to do ASMRs, reviews, blogs, sketches, sports reels, clothing hauls and try-ons, and other miscellaneous shyt. I don't know why people are acting like TikTok, at heart, is a beacon of free speech and political discourse .

I never advocated for government censorship.

what views are you talking about?

 

[IIVI]

To preface this, I don't care about Tiktok being banned and I see why they're being banned. I feel like if they were an American enterprise being forced to break up or be sold, they would've complied years ago.

With that said, Tiktok is different because YouTube only suggests videos that are viral so it leans towards popular users and major brands. Tiktok shows every user to you no matter if they have ten likes or a million likes and figures out what content you want by how long you watch and then keeps showing you more users like them. So it gives regular people a massive audience they can't get anywhere else. It's weird that American companies either can't or don't want to replicate this. It's probably the latter. Google wants people to pay for that kinda exposure. Tiktok gives it away for free.

It’s this.

That’s why I remember someone pointing out that celebrities were having a hard time translating to TikTok success because TikTok is closer to “real life” and non-filtered or processed like other apps where it’s basically an entertainment industry entity curating content.

Come to find out ordinary people are pretty entertaining and talented.

TikTok basically avoided “enshytification” through it’s entire American lifespan.

I don't think the shytty Supreme Court opinion even addresses why they think Lamont vs Postmaster General doesn't apply. However it is narrowly tailored to TikTok case and trying to ban RedNote could pose different issues.
