TikTok USA ist kaputt

Or does it work as intended? 

Nah. China still getting their data tho.

Of course it is. Trump touched it.

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.

I deleted it yesterday.

I deleted it for the second time yesterday. There were so many Russian bots it was unbearable.

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 SILL 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…….

Naw. They shut it off to slow down people sharing what is going on. The admin doesn’t realize that people have other platforms.
