TikTok fans are retaliating for Trumps threats of banning the app, which is owned by Chinas Bytedance Ltd. and is hugely popular in the U.S., especially among teens. The thought of taking away a key social and entertainment hub in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic has led to outrage.
For Gen Z and Millennials, TikTok is our clubhouse and Trump threatened it, said Yori Blacc, a 19-year-old TikTok user in California who joined in the app protest. If youre going to mess with us, we will mess with you.
Blacc said the movement gained steam Wednesday when a popular TikTok user, DeJuan Booker, called on his 750,000 followers to seek revenge. He posted a step-by-step primer on how to degrade the apps rating, notching 5.6 million views. Gen Z dont go down without a fight, said Booker, who goes by @unusualbeing on TikTok. Lets go to war.

Many TikTok users say they care less about potential Chinese snooping and more about Trump taking away their digital hangout. In the U.S., TikTok has been downloaded more than 165 million times, according to Sensor Tower.
I dont believe Trump is trying to take TikTok away because of national security, but more to retaliate against activism on the app and all the videos about him that drag him through the mud, said Darius Jackson, an 18-year-old TikTok user in Champagne, Illinois, who asked his followers Wednesday to give Trumps app a one-star.
This is the first year Ill be able to vote and I think activism on TikTok is going to make a big difference, Jackson said.

Would TikTok Teens be known as “Chineens” as they work for free for the Communist Chinese?
Yet another group against Trump. It will be a miracle if Trump is not obliterated in the election in November.
TikTok nurses who were too busy making dance videos to service patients?
...Champagne, Illinois...
TIME editors didnt catch that error. Folks, its Champaign, Illinois.
I looked at videos on TickTock one day.
I felt IQ points draining away rapidly.
This is the first year Ill be able to vote and I think activism on TikTok is going to make a big difference, Jackson said.
And possibly your ignorance with it.
India has banned it because they felt it presented a real security threat.
Tik Tok is a communist Chinese tool.
As are the yutes who use it.
Nice that the urinalists at Slime Magazine did most of the doxxing work on the loudmouths cited in the article.
Hasnt the DoD banned it as well?
Sinister little movement to threaten us all, and the useful idiots who follow along blindly...
How dare you expect a piece with two authors, an “with assistance from” credit at the end, and no doubt one or two editors working on it behind the scenes to be free of basic mistakes like that. Be gone with your racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic HATE!!! < /s>
TikTok is full of animal torture videos and the heathen Chinese see no need to take them down when reported.
Do the little teeny boppers approve of that?
In political campaigns while the use of Social Electronic Formats are useful in presenting political positions. Relying solely on using those venues is a mistake because of their SEF content limitations and media bias .
THAT CERTAINLY APPLIES TO TIC TOC WHICH IS RUN BY THE CCP
Consideration of the use of reprinted material including handouts and flyers such as of articles in FR and the planning of area saturation distribution known as blitzing in the targeted area is essential of one wants to win.

I call them wumao, like their mainland Communist Chinese filth they adore.
The new Communist imposed speech laws have life-in-prison penalties for sedition and other anti-state activities, and TikTok does not want to be part of the enforcement process.
Since TikTok is a Chinese company, I assumed their number one market was China.
Maybe they have two different applications - one for free countries, and one for police states?
Stpidity and youth on a grand scale. Complete suckers but do not even know it.
