TikTok is reportedly planning a total shutdown of the Chinese-owned video-sharing app when the law requiring a ban or sale of the app takes effect on Sunday.
The roughly 170 million US users who try to access the app will be greeted with a pop-up message directing them to a website with details about the ban, according to the Information.
Users will also be given the option of downloading their data from the app, sources familiar with the plan told the outlet.
But what do all these TikTok users need to do suddenly? Talk to each other face to face? Doing something useful in live? Help?
You are typing on a computer / phone right now on another social media platform, probably not the time to feel superior.
But the fediverse is better right ;)? They can’t even ban it haha
Social media’s quality and harm lie on a spectrum, it’s not just black and white. Text discussion on a forum is way different from the average TikTok experience.

Algorithm driven social media is different, it just is. There’s a boy who cried wolf element here which is unfortunate, but that doesn’t mean wolves don’t exist.
it’s that damn opera.
I agree, but the OP referenced none of that.
