Is TikTok DEAD? The SHOCKING Truth About the Ban!

[@PatriotJewell]

I hope the ban the hell out of that social media cess pool!

[@paulamirkin5347]

Tic Toc needs to go away so much drama over there.

[@katintheshadows]

BAN AWAY‼️ I absolutely HATE the censorship and we will be more than okay without it. In my opinion, IF DIKTOK IS YOUR ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME, THEN THATS WHERE YOU WENT WRONG IN THE FIRST PLACE! Creators need to be aware that their platform can be gone in the blink of an eye and you have to be prepared for that. You need to have a backup plan, and always follow the rule of never making social media your one and only source of income. ❤

Not me I’m not monetized on there but that’s the argument from 0.2% of USA users who are. so many other countries do not allow their citizens to be a part of the creator fund, and they also limit a lot of visibility.

[@katintheshadows]

@ damn that’s actually a waaay smaller amount of people than I figured it would be! I’m not monetized on there either because I refuse to censor myself. My main concern is that like we’re taking about horrific, heinous, violent crimes where most of the time someone(s) been killed. It’s a serious topic that we cover and so many people (definitely not you. You’re so good at keeping the focus and respect on allllll victims involved not just the ones who died but the ones who lost those people) cannot wrap their head around the fact that that person their talking about, well her/his mom and dad are most likely watching. Their siblings. Their grandparents.. and so on… think about what they hear when we say something like “this is so and so. On this date she was brutally knifed to death.” And “he unalived himself with a pew pew” …. Like, NOPE! Not doing it! I refuse! This may just be my opinion but I just see that as all kinds of disrespectful towards the deceased and the family members who are grieving. Crazy world we’re living in. 😪🩵

[@karanj931]

I dont use tiKtok but i feel for those who do enjoy it and will have to give it up. 😢

[@julieunderwood525]

I agree with you its all sums down to Political BS

[@XSweetDreamsX]

If it does go down and trump brings it back, does everyone lose everything, entire account and start fresh?

[@Bubbles_bubblez]

I’m not on there a lot but this will be interesting

[@StraightOutOfContextWithBarb]

Yes it will! The reason why everybody love TikTok is because you have free editing software that you can use as your recording and you have the green screen software and so you don’t have to pay for it. It’s all built in the app and you also have amazing tools and features. That’s the cool part about it.

[@Bubbles_bubblez]

@@StraightOutOfContextWithBarb yes I did know that and I do love the algorithm but the petty and ugly I can’t do. Well maybe just in tiny doses 😂

[@Danniedorito]

Wonder if a VPN would help 😂 I dislike tiktok personally but that's mainly because it feels like one big commercial. I also don't use the internet like people do on tiktok

[@StraightOutOfContextWithBarb]

I’ve read that no it won’t because in the law itself cell phone providers, and Internet providers have to block you from being able to access it from any kind of App Store, to download it or update to the newest version, and a VPN won’t block your carrier that you’re in the USA.

[@VernaCunningham-sz9uz]

I know that it will never be banned BUT I sure wish that it would be BANNED!!!

[@karanj931]

Why would you want it banned? If you don't like it just don't use it. But to deny others a choice? 😮

[@kathleenfleck3363]

When asked what happens Jan19, i said my birthday. Forgot about tic tok. I hope it is saved alot of ppl use this.

[@sharonlefebure3892]

Happy birthday! I care about your birthday more than I care about TT!

[@sharonlefebure3892]

I’ve heard Trump say he’s not going to ban it. I mean he uses it too! But if it was banned I couldn’t care less. I don’t use it very often, but even though there’s good content on there there is also terrible creators that do nothing but put out garbage and teach our young people to think it’s a good thing. I honestly think a lot of content shouldn’t be monetized bcuz that’s the problem. If there was no money to be made most of the garbage would be gone and then these people will have to get real jobs and the people that find them entertaining will have to get a life too. I’d get into all the content I’m talking about but I don’t feel like writing a book and I’m sure most of you know what I’m talking about

[@ArtisticAutistic777]

Why does this feel like some kind of weird joke to me ?

[@StraightOutOfContextWithBarb]

It happened before maybe? But this time it’s real but I don’t think it’s going to stay banned. Personally. We will see. The joke is a lot of TikTok creator, thinking that they’re gonna tell a bunch of people who are only on TikTok to go follow them on other platforms when those people don’t like other platforms and are not on them. I’ve had so many people tell me on TikTok that they do not like KZbin and they won’t really watch people there and same on KZbin about TikTok. I guess we’ll just wait and see what happens.

[@ArtisticAutistic777]

@ Yes, I agree. I think Trump will fix it.

[@Angelica-uo7bw]

This is crazy! I can understand government officials possibly being a target and they should consider that for their own safety. But just everyday people? China would be pretty bored and think we're all a bunch of crazy people 😂

[@Runaaxe]

Trump LOVES his social media 😂 I definitely think he’s not gonna allow the ban to stick

[@StraightOutOfContextWithBarb]

He’s going to save it, watch!

[@Runaaxe]

@ I feel like he’s gonna convince Elon to buy it lmao 🤣

[@StraightOutOfContextWithBarb]

@ that’s what he would wanna do but TIKTOK is actually worth way more in one year than what Elon Musk’s entire net worth is. He’s only worth about $280 billion in TikTok brings in over $320 million every year. So I don’t even think Elon can buy it lol and that’s so crazy because TIKTOK has been around and popular with American children and adults for over six years and we’ve never had an issue and it’s extremely racist for them to assume because the current and former CEO of TikTok is Chinese born that they both would illegally use users data and give it to the Chinese government when neither even live in China lol Facebook Meta Threads Instagram One man owns Google Apple And X They cannot sit here and say that under our constitution we have all of these rights and then try to infringe on another country’s rights and say they have to sell and not only do they have to sell they have to sell to an American - or be banned here. That is so entitled and fucked up like China has 1.8 billion people we have 330 million Asia holds 2/3 of the entire human population because India has 1.7 billion also. If it gets banned on the 19th watch, Donald Trump is going to overturn it the next day because not only does he love social media he loves being loved and nothing is going to submit his presidency or his fame like letting it be banned for a day, let people see how bad they miss it and how much they miss having their income from it (creators) and then bring it back. But that’s just a feeling that I have personally because the Supreme Court upheld the law Biden signed: saying it does not have anything to do with free speech. And it’s not gonna work because you can’t get a VPN and you are not gonna be able to download the app because no service provider no App Store no Internet provider is going to be allowed in that law to allow you to download it or update it. The thing that’s concerning is that all of these people that are on TikTok literally are flooding KZbin right now because they’re trying to force everybody to go follow them over on KZbin like not realizing that a lot of people on TikTok only like TikTok people that are on KZbin like KZbin and there’s a reason for that it’s totally different communities totally different ways of making videos and content. So we will see! 🙏🏻❤️

[@Runaaxe]

@@StraightOutOfContextWithBarb yes! You nailed all the on the head! But it is crazy to think that even Elon couldn’t afford TikTok 🤣
