The best part about this is that now the libs will stop criticizing China for "censoring the internet"!

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

~~they won't though~~ oh so that's what the emote is for
hey remember that time facebook sold out a teen girl to the feds for discussing her abortion in a "private" direct chat, in this backsliding country where things that are perfectly legal can suddenly become illegal out of nowhere?
you should really worry about tiktok having your data though because there's a lot they can do with it, like uh... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
Xi Jinping will PERSONALLY be forwarded the nation's most embarrassing dance tiktoks, which will be used as blackmail material. Not so innocent anymore, is it?
They don't even have the data, the data is Warehoused in an Oracle server farm stateside for any toktok accounts in NATO nations.
Our wet boy is pro-TikTok now because libs are the ones banning it
Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 US Presidential Election may also present a lifeline for the app.
Despite unsuccessfully attempting to ban TikTok during his first term in 2020, he said in the run-up to the November elections he would not allow the ban on TikTok to take effect.
Genuinely smart move. If he takes credit for saving TikTok, that will harm Democrats
Just like pulling out of Afghanistan and giving people money during covid. Kinda wild how doing good things for people make them like you. Incredible how bad political instincts the democrats have
The average elitist loathes giving the people what they want so much they use populist" as a derogatory term.
I was so confused when I figured out what a populist was. "He just gives people what they want!" Oh? And that's... bad?.. Because... We don't want people to have what they want?
Damn right loony CCP lovers, I'll have meta and google spying on me thank you very much, boohoo Xi Jinping!
Seriously where all my 4th amendment stans?
I hope the project is a success, but I am a bit worried about the developer being like "It is not open source yet, but it will be!"
Bröthër, may I have some loops? 
No!!! You will get enshitification from bluesky or loops and you will enjoy it like the good corporate shill that you are. Lol
Some of our more talented, less decrepid users should get in there early. If I hadn't sent this as a letter to my grandson to print here I'd be all over it 
At least it means less Americans on the app lmao
Can MomTok survive this???
sadly no, there will be no more mothers after the banning
URGENT :

I think that answers your question.
I hope trump is dumb enough to prevent this because tiktok is by far the best social media platform out there for us right now. The Palestine support would be significantly lower without tiktok.
Palestine support is the reason why they want it gone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEDGZlG_41k
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Yes, ban the treat factories, I'm sure that's a good strategy.
TikTok has a good number of Shitsraeli intelligence bodies running it, interesting they're still planning to ban it.
TikTok is controlled by the CIA anyway
