...TikTok would eventually be dropped from app stores in the US if its owner doesn't sell. It also would lose access to US-based web hosting services.

Oh no. Where would children act out jokes they stole from old tweets?

So many out of touch people in every thread that mentions TikTok. The same shit we did on YouTube , FB , Twitter, vine, etc is the same concept on TikTok. Memes evolve or new ones are born, that is nothing new

It's genuinely embarassing to see people here behaving this way. And disappointing.

Oh no... Someone that was told the opinion they should have about tiktok years ago never bothered to think about it for more that five seconds before repeating it

Did it hurt? Becoming a boomer.
