Lemon8 (another social media app from ByteDance) is also banned in the US.

Welcome to the foundation of The Great Firewall of the United States!


Trollololol!

TikTok is back "THANKS TO TRUMP!!!"

Hahaha, Trump isn't even in power yet! What a bald faced lie.

Fuck this entire place.

Seriously - Congress voted to ban TikTok (which I disagree with). SCOTUS upheld the ban (which is messed up). And now the President IGNORES both congress and SCOTUS... ummm what the fuck?!?! The president is now a king? Cool. Can't be punished for his actions. And can issue unilateral decision opposing the other two branches. Fucking Neat.

Three escalating wrongs don't make a right.

And its gone.

The idea that an app can be banned like this blows my mind. (US Centric)

We really need decentralized FOSS apps.

@stux @tikend this is PRECISELY why the is much more resilient than anything from

It would be extremely hard to shut the Fediverse down on a global scale. If the bans it, then users can migrate to Fediverse servers anywhere else in the world. There are currently 22,668 Fediverse servers :)

As Cory Doctorow @pluralistic explains: "If you're an American (or anyone else, for that matter) who wants to use without being spied on, @privacysafe has you covered: their tool is a private, alternative, web-based front-end for Tiktok, with optional @torproject VPN tunnelling" psafe.ly/VZTH3W

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Saturday he would "most likely" give TikTok a 90-day reprieve from a potential ban after he takes office on Monday, as the app with 170 million American users buzzed with nervous anticipation ahead of a shutdown set for Sunday. "The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely done, because it's appropriate," Trump told NBC in an interview. "If I decide to do that, I'll probably announce it on Monday."

The SCOTUS decision regarding the US ban is probably going to set off a wave of scams and malware that claim to offer access to TikTok.

Some unsolicited advice off the top of my head: If you're concerned about the ban and are in the US, download the official app from the iOS App Store or the Google Play Store before the can is scheduled to take effect. Ignore everything else.

In response to this post

Banning a single company, TikTok, is a "Bill of Attainder", illegal in the US under the constition.

Particularly since corporations are considered people.

.

So how is this possible.
