New York Late Friday night, a social platform best known for coordinated dance routines and funny videos turned somber. TikTok users across the US began livestreaming and posting videos in tribute to what they feared was the end of TikTok, the short-form video app they've come to love and depend on.
"Everyone is live right now," said Ehi Omigie, who has about 25,000 followers on TikTok, in a livestream on the app Friday night after news broke of a possible US ban."Everyone is going cray cray ... If it does happen, follow me on Instagram."Others were strategizing ways to get around a ban, including by trying to trick servers to make it look like they're browsing from a different country where TikTok is allowed to operate.
Even if he wanted to make this dictator move, the US doesn’t even have an natl entity with the power to block sites/apps on all US devices like China and India do. Even if you don’t like TikTok, think about the precedent this would set. This is authoritarian level overreach.
The US TikTok company is completely separate from the Chinese one. FB, Google, and Snapchat all steal your data and no one is working to take those away. But as soon as young people use an app to politically organize, it’s a national security threat? No, that doesn’t seem fishy.
THANK CHRIST 😆
LOL walls are coming up fast around the US the A. 'Free country' is a hoax.
And his supporters are whining about their rights? Well they should be concerned He is a facist.
The irony of people on social media afraid of their information being stolen with a sad excuse like 'well tik Tok is from China', nobody give a fuck about you, everyone already got your information and they discovered you aren't worth the storage space on their servers.
Dear Canada...
Trump wants to destroy anybody who is against his lies. This is what he considers Freedom. Freedom of whatever he wants to do!
It's just to stop a repeat of Tulsa!
He can't do a thing about TikTok! Unless he plans on taking away internet from all Americans lmmfao. How stupid is Trump? lmmfao
Can you tell your viewers that if Trump is successful to ban tiktok that they can go in settings and click Canada instead of u.s
realDonaldTrump The IDIOT couldn’t delay the election & now he is taking the rage towards youngsters by banning TikToK which was keeping the youngsters busy & entertained at home during this Pandemic.The timing is really bad for the ban. Someone pls advise this IDIOT tiktokban
It may be for our good. China is sending unknown types of seeds to people who did not purchase them. 'What's that about?'. Use AMERICAN MADE AND CREATED AS much as possible.
Hmm
I don’t get it. We’re just kids having fun. He’s just mad that we’re not trump supporters. 😒
He is doing everything he can to eliminate the possibility of losing the election. IMO last minute panic. He alluded to stopping mail in ballots. Scrambling bastard. He needs to realize his time is up.
👍
Did tiktok offer bounties on US troops? SenDuckworth SenatorDurbin
Headline SHOULD be 'TikTok being used to Spy on Americans! Trump Shuts it Down to Protect our Security.' 'Keeping America Safe Again! ' But it doesn't. That's WHY really IS FakeNews . They don't even tell people WHY or what Communist China was doing to us. Disgusting.
