BREAKING: TikTok has shut down in the U.S.
Both of my daughters just texted me that they were kicked off.
Maybe they should ask Joey about that. The screaming is going to be loud about this.
Joey? Biden?
Cause Trump was for the ban and more republicans voted form it than democrats.
This isn’t a conservative vs liberal issue.
How many 18-25 year-old votes did that message get JD Vance in 2028?
I’m serious.
parents everywhere rejoicing
teenagers inconsolable
It's kind of a fitting end to the Biden Administration.
No, it’s a freedom vs Security issue. FREEDOM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SECURITY
I could not care less about TikTok, but the statement does make Biden look like the idiot that he is... so I like that. And President Trump just said that he is likely to give them a 90 day reprieve. This is just one more thing that will end up looking like a win for Trump and add momentum to the “transition”.
Youtube shorts is almost the same thing. Maybe the tiktok name is cuter.
Facebook steals your data and hates America too!
Exactly.
There goes half the content on Facebook
Where will single women go to vent, complain about men, and cry about life now?
Tiktok is a CCP spy app masquerading as a social media app.
Plain and simple.
Folks, it has a keylogger in it that is active even when the app is closed. It means it records all your keystrokes all the time, your passwords, accounts, not to mention your private info you type.
And this is only one spy feature it does.
‘ FREEDOM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SECURITY’
Often repeated, but having read the posts here for more than 20 years, it’s not a dealbreaker.
If it was our own government spying on us, I would agree.
In this case, its a foreign government that is also hostile towards us and is actually on many levels already at war with us. So in this case, I disagree.
Tnis is part of protecting people against foreign and domestic enemies. In this case the foreign enemy, the CCP.
At a Dec. 4 Mar-a-Lago, Florida news conference, President-elect Donald Trump credited TikTok with increasing his support among young people and said to have “a warm spot” for the app.
On Jan. 15 Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.), who was recently appointed as the national security adviser to Trump, disclosed to Fox News anchor Bret Baier in response to inquiries about a report that the incoming U.S. leader is looking into ways to preserve TikTok.
Baier noted that one of these options could be an executive order temporarily halting the implementation of the divest-or-ban law for 60 to 90 days.
