As someone who dropped TikTok around 3 years ago, the next month or two are going to be very amusing.

My wife quit it and was back on it a week later. Apparently it's very addictive. As someone who is on Lemmy a thousand times per day, I guess I can understand. I don't consider it quite the same though since we actually talk here, and discuss things beyond pressing like buttons on glorified commercials.

Ho hum. TikTok ain’t going anywhere.

It will be banned for a short while, long enough for Trump to enforce sale to Meta in exchange for their absolute hard turn top to bottom in everything they do to help spread misinformation and keep the plebs angry.

In this house, we only like propaganda that's covering up genocide. /s

The interest your domestic and foreign corporate social media platforms have in you are VASTLY different. It's naive to equivocate them. Yes, TikTok should get "banned", which will just be pulling the app from the app store and likely still available as a web app maybe through a VPN. They're just going to create more friction in getting access.

Instead of advocating for spyware, perhaps we should be highlighting open alternatives?

Americans complaining about other countries meddling in their affairs is such a hilarious hypocrisy. You guys have been the worst for ruining other countries around the world.
