Yep, this is when TikTok 100% sold out
...since when? How did I miss this?
This was in January, when Tiktok was set to be banned (by Trump in his first term, but it kept getting extended, then magically Trump saved Tiktok (from himself)! And Tiktok did everything it could to make him look like a hero. Also used it a bit during 2024 for my business, and let me tell you, say something leftist = banned. Mention Palestine= banned. Criticize Trump = banned. Report hate speech = "We found nothing wrong". Report fake news = "We found nothing wrong". Report violent calls to action against the left = "We found nothing wrong". So yeah I could go on, but it's very obviously been a maga platform since at least 2024. But nothing is ever enough for them.
Shit. Thanks for that info. I've never used it but figured I would've heard about news like this. Guess not
Oh! And I forgot that tiktok came back the very next day, still before Trump's inauguration, thanking Trump.
🙄
From bad to worse
"Free speech absolutists" 0.1 seconds after being insulted.
I learned from my besties Vlad and Xinnie the Pooh Bear to have government controlled propaganda machines because the youth aren't on that loser Zucky Boy's thing.
It was already hot garbage, now it'll be a dumpster fire.
yeah if there's one thing teens love it's government approved communication channels
I deleted Tiktok last night
Nice.
I never installed it to begin with
I uninstalled that crapware from my spare phone.
I think everyone is well aware that TikTok is about to become yet another racist supremacist shithole.
and pro settler colonialism and genocide too
...I beg your pardon?..
