INFLUENCERS are mourning the looming shutdown of TikTok as they post tearful videos saying goodbye to the beloved app.
The Supreme Court have upheld a law to ban the application if it is not sold in the United States - leaving users devastated.
The ban is set to go into effect on January 19, leaving the platform's future in the hands of the incoming Trump administration.
One popular influencer on the app, Emily Senn, filmed herself crying after hearing the news, saying that she would "never forgive" the US government for its actions against TikTok.

Now maybe they can work on getting their IQ’s back up
Their brains are mush now. Too late.
They can do exactly what they’ve been doing on Facebook or YouTube or any other social site. Even gettr has one.
How are the bored housewives going to know what other bored housewives are doing?
OH MY GOD! How am I going to make as much yen as I do on Tic Tok at a regular wage cage job?
I don’t know much if anything about TIKTOK, but it seems to be foolish if anyone is counting on making a living from it. I was of the opinion it was a social network, but that there was the possibility of the CCP getting useful (to them) information from it....information that could be used against the U.S.
Never used it, not affected.
Ditto to just about all of the social media platforms.
If the cell phone network went down for five days they would be killing themselves.
Worthless faggots
Emily needs a hobby. Maybe a good book.
The arrogance and hypocrisy here astounds me sometimes... What if it was the Free Republic? No problem at all right?
If anyone claims it would not bother them they are lying through their teeth...
Free Republic is American, not Chinese.
“Ditto to just about all of the social media platforms.”
And you think the Free Republic is exempt from the legal definition of social media?
Wrong... The Free Republic “IS” a Social Media platform too.
“Social Media: Definition
Social media is digital technology that allows the sharing of ideas and information, including text and visuals, through virtual networks and communities.
Social media typically features user-generated content that lends itself to engagement via likes, shares, comments, and discussion.”

How can they make money now, with no job skills and no clingers/harpies/"fans"?????
Well said, Sir!
“Free Republic is American, not Chinese.”
That is not the point at all. The point is sadistically making fun of their panic when you all would do the exact same thing if it were the Free Republic. It is hypocrisy, arrogance, and self righteousness at it’s best.
I figured most anything with people communicating is can be a target.
FR is about 90% of what I use.
The Chinese prefer to shut TikTok down in the hopes of future life than lose control over TikTok by selling TikTok to a US buyer.
Not happening. They have been so dumbed down. Have you looked at this math they are inflicting on our kids and grand kids? Not 10+10=20, it’s 1 box with 10 dots and another box with 10 dots. It’s STUPID
