  1. What should happen also is people deleting their TikTok accounts, that would be a full uninstall i’d say.

  2. Glad I never installed that shit to begin with…Reddit may be going to shit also but I still hang out for the good people I run into now and then.

  3. The Twitterization of TT was really inevitable.

    Oracle, for all it’s success as an enterprise Database company, has never translated to ANY other space. Every single thing they’ve ever tried to build (or more likely acquired) that has a B2C or B2B2C profile, has failed. All of them. For decades.

    This was destined to be no different.

    I mean, the new TikTok majority owners are Oracle (part of Larry Ellison’s hostile right wing media takeover project), Silver Lake run by Texan Egon Durban, and MGX, a UAE fund, that, among other things, staked a $2b investment in Binance shortly after Trump took office using World Liberty Financial’s Stablecoin. For those of you who don’t recall, that $2 billion investment essentially underwrote the Trump family’s crypto scheme as Trump was starting his second term.

    So, yeah. Families everywhere should feel completely comfortable letting these guys run algorithms to determine the content presented to your children during their formative years.

  5. Just curious, but is it the entire TikTok they bought, or just the American market? It sounded like the latter the last time I paid any attention (world’s gone barmy since though).

  6. I did my part.

    Tbf I wasn’t much of a tiktoker, only had it to connect with partners i was seeing but after that latest T&A, I deleted it.

  7. Literally only had it installed so I could see TikToks that other people sent me, but after this, I decided not to bother. Don’t want that thing on my phone.

  8. Don’t get your hopes up. Twitter is still chugging along. People will excuse all the Nazi propaganda if it means they get a dopamine fix.
