  1. Censoring speech to protect pedophiles and Gestapo is a hideous abrogation of basic humanity, and a brutal mask-off moment.

  2. If you’re still on TikTok, you’re complicit in fascism.

    You don’t need it. Find a hobby.

  3. The only thing that’s safe in America right now are the Epstein files. Forget about the 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, 4th Amendment, etc

  4. And gen Z ***still*** won’t stop being zombies to it.

    Tiktok has a *full on dystopian* pop up when Trump “saved” the app, and they *gained* users.

    It’s such a dark time.

    Hey remember MAGA when you all were *so* upset that Hunter Biden laptop story was temporarily ranked lower in the Facebook newsfeed for ~~a few days~~ less than 24 hours?

    I’m sure this will upset you too.

    TikTok is state sponsored propaganda now for the Trump administration. You have the power to delete it from your phone. Behave accordingly.

  7. LOOKS LIKE A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY!!!

    Somebody please come out with a replacement platform so we can ditch the garbage!!!

    Gee it’s almost like there’s now a US-specific Tiktok that was bought by an American billionaire who supports Trump.

    Oh wait.

    Larry Ellison: ORACLE is one of the US owners. One more billionaire owed corporations – who are going to be in court today for harming children.

    So, instead of outright banning the app like they said they’d do last year, they’re now rewiring it into a trash propaganda machine. But I guess using an app like TikTok is a way more efficient way of reaching millions of easily-manipulated teenagers. They’ll get a couple years worth of brainwashing and then head to the polls in 2028 to vote GOP. Republicans are pretty incompetent, but sometimes they know what they’re doing. Disgusting.

    So guns are bad now and free speech has limits? 

    U.S conservatives really are the worst scum of this Earth. 

  12. Lol seems like it had less censorship when it was chinese, at least we could criticize our own government

    It’s like all the stuff they said china was doing is just what they *wanted* to do the whole time!

    Controlled by Larry Ellison… along with CBS and Paramount, soon to be Warner Brothers which includes CNN, and HBO….

    Fuck ICE. Abolish the agency. Name and charge the shooters and accomplices.

    Fuck Trump. He wasn’t elected. He wasn’t shot. He’s in the files.

    Release the Epstein files. Charge all accused pedophiles.

    I posted a video of me painting a picture of Renee Good’s car (nothing graphic, a little blood on the airbag) and my entire TT account got “permanently banned” yesterday.

  17. Anyone paying attention knew this was coming. That’s why I uninstalled the day the sale was announced.

  18. Shocking, the app that started off advertising underage girls dancing is going to protect the highest pedo in the land

  19. Figured that was gonna happen as soon as US investors took over operations here. It only switched over a few days ago, so that was fast.

    The platform is already infested with MAGA bots, anyway.

    Crazy not to mention they’re also censoring criticism of israel considering that was explicitly why it was bought in the first place.

    What a good ad to delete Tiktok. Delete that shit off your phone and off your kid’s phone. It’s rotting everyone’s brain even before all this.

    The right crying about free speech was always a lie. They wanted to spread hate speech and misinformation. Now they are covering up truth. Pure evil.

    It would have just been better to ban it, at least then it wouldn’t be another propaganda tool of the fascists.

  24. If you use TikTok you are part of the problem. Delete it and move on. Rug pull those billionaires.

    I deleted my account on the 21st. I would not accept the terms so I haven’t been back on. I lost all my viral videos and 25,000 followers but I wasn’t going to stay on that God forsaken app
