I read somewhere that the algorithm wasn’t part of the purchase.
So everybody’s reset to what is likely going to be right-wing propaganda.

Thanks for sharing this! Here’s a bit from the article:
Many in the US have found it impossible to upload videos over the last day or so, which are sitting “under review” indefinitely. One video we uploaded from a US account last night has yet to go live, nearly 12 hours later, while a video uploaded from the UK is published — but it’s only visible to our editors who aren’t in the US. Similarly, accounts for pages like the BBC and *The Guardian* only show new uploads for those of us who live outside the US, while viewing the same account from the US shows only videos uploaded before Sunday morning.
Given the timing, many drew a link between TikTok’s issues, its US operation’s new Trump-friendly owners, and this weekend’s anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis, exacerbated by the killing of a second local resident, Alex Pretti, by federal agents. The combination of publishing errors and previously political For You Pages that are suddenly filled with generic content has led many to assume the worst when their videos about ICE wouldn’t publish, but at the moment, the problems appear to be much more extensive.
I deleted TikTok recently and my wife asked why. I told her the basic story of the US Govt taking it and using it for surveillance. She was confused and asked “so you didn’t care when it was the Chinese government but you do with the US government?” I replied that to my knowledge, the Chinese government hasn’t killed anyone in the US for their political views this year but the US government has. What a world.

Well, they’re retooling it to integrate with Palantir, and collect more information about users, including legal status and location. This was widely reported yesterday.

The US took over local ownership because they claimed foreign governments might be spying on users?
The next time the US says something honest will be the first time.

Comments section is totally fucked. Either it won’t load, hearts/dislikes roll back, and if it does load you can’t comment or view full threads 🤦🏻 I wonder if it’s intentional bc I’ve only noticed it happening on political/left-leaning posts…especially ones about the most recent ICE murder

A bunch of Conservatives bought the platform and their megalomaniacal plan is to buy up all the news and social media and control everything we see and steal everything we say. And yet these “Geniuses” forgot the most simple and obvious flaw in this plan…
We just stop watching, and using all of it. And we go use other places and watch other things.
And we’ll STILL continue on talking and interacting with the world and each other, because all your stolen analytics never learned we’re not robots, we’re smart humans, and we know how to change.
Can’t stop the signal.

Nearly sounds as if peoples uploads are being withheld so they have time to censor them…….

That didn’t take long. Now disable it world wide, x and meta too.

It has been turned into another propaganda machine for the MAGA state.
Let’s hope Princess Lea was right. “The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.”

No shit, the government bought a 50% share to turn it into a propaganda tool after leveraging banning it because of Chinese government using its data to spy

I love how they told us that it was for her own security and to not give data to china. And their new terms of service is them basically saying they’re taking even more data from you now. All your comments, location, etc.

It’s a new propaganda tool for the government. Everyone knew this would happen.

Step 1. Buy an super app from China because we couldn’t make one as popular
Step 2. Make it a political weapon
Step 3. Hope everyone associates it with China and not the U.S. despite it being TikTok US being a U.S. controlled company now.

Haven’t used tiktok since ‘21 and I’m happy that I avoided this clown show.

Broken or working as intended by Larry Ellison?

Tik tok is owned by MAGA now. Uninstall it.

Yeah. I had 10 mins of straight Israel posts yesterday. I deleted it.

I uninstalled last night after going to my following tab and kept getting the same 4 creators over and over regardless of how much I scrolled. I was following 200+ channels so there’s no way I should have been only seeing the same 4 people. The initial “banning” of TikTok was a humongous red flag and we all knew it would die but that was just blatant evidence that the apps algorithm was drastically changed.

Tik tok was supposed to be Spyware for the ccp. Now its Spyware for corporate America
