From the OP's post history: she's a single mom living in section 8 with an neurodivergent daughter and has various white women diseases (she requires a "mobility device" to get around apparently)
I know its just an app. Its just one outlet. Its just one space to go on the internet but its also so vital in how to do so many things. I learned how to do the following:
Becoming a better mom
Learning how to advocate for myself and my kiddo
Finding a community
Developing better skills to find better jobs
How fix shit around my house (for better or worse. lol)
What symptoms are signs of (whatever is possibly causing my symptoms)
Unlearning so many shitty traits from systemic issues
ALL.THE.RECIPES.
And now...its just going away. Capitol hill couldn't improve healthcare as a country, improve the housing market, cutting the cost of food, or stopping school shootings but hey, they did it. They banned an app that brought so many people together...
On to the comments:
I see the ban in essence as a form of controlling our algorithms and to only support / allow AI to train on pro US narratives and not on anything counter to it.
I'm a very casual Tik Tok user, and I'm upset about this. People are going to lose their livelihoods over this, and it smacks of censorship. So what's next? Reddit? Tumblr? Pinterest? AO3? It's ridiculous this even happened with so many other issues in our country.
Yep. So many people in my life aren't make the connection of what this actually means. We're witnessing an iron curtain rising. And its devastating.
NGL being a SAHM mom with no village and no friends, tiktok was my socialization and how I was able to find some sort of community and even just talk to people. I'm struggling with the fact that life is about to get lonely and isolating again.
Tik Tok is the reason I finally cut ties with my crappy religion and political party. It's the reason I finally saw why the full range of women's rights matter. It gave me a reason to be politically savvy. And it's the reason I see the ban for what it truly is. I'm terrified for what this means for Americans, and I fully crashed out on my other social media apps today before logging out and deleting them from my phone.
I understand that "he" won, so I won't throw a temper tantrum about it (like some people). I concede that this is what more than 50% of the voting population wanted. But I won't go down without expressing my concerns, if for no other reason than to say "I told you so" in 2 years
Does this idiot not realize that it was that enacted TOTAL ZOOMER DEATH? What does Trump have to do with this
I wish I could do more than upmarsey. This is everything.
I became a RedNote turnover 🤭 it's great, most of the TT's I followed are there now
Actually looking forward to learning Chinese...
I joined TikTok during covid like a lot of people. My algorithm eventually led me down a path of seeing content creators who were talking about SA, abuse, manipulation, gaslamping and all sorts of content on toxic relationships. It was then that I realized after nearly 2 decades with my husband that I was in an abusive and toxic relationship. My normal meter had become so fricked because of his manipulation that I didn't know up from down. I finally had the language to describe what I was going through and the courage to leave. Been out 2 years now and living my absolute best life. Where before I was dying a slow and painful depressing death.
TikTok saved my life.
I'm annoyed by the people who don't use it lacking any empathy or perspective. They'll say it's brain rot, shallow entertainment, a source of misinformation, then turn around and spend hours on Reddit or twitter or instagram like it's any better.
The wishful thinking part gets me. Like, what makes you think Reddit is safe? FB? Groomercord? If one goes, they can do this to whatever they want.
Unfortunately reddit, groomercord, and Facebook aren't controlled by the Chinese so they are safe. But I pray for the day of TOTAL GROOMERCORD DEATH.

Please dont ban rdrama. Rdrama helped me realize I was in an abusive relationship with my parents, my partner and all of my friends. I cut ties with all of them and found my new community on rdrama. Rdrama gave me the language to handle my abusers (my former friends and family). Since all my social interactions are only on rdrama, Im living my best life.

This is like that Lewis Black bit about overhearing someone at IHOP saying "If it wasn't for the horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college."
I struggle with explaining to zoomers that actually Carter began military aid to Afghanistan and El Salvador and Reagan only greatly increased the quantity. If I'm still alive in 20 years I'm gonna have a new generation of r-slurred kids to deal with but they'll just care about social media.

Tiktok is an amazing app. The sole reason it was banned was to protect meta and Youtube from competition.

My fellow citizens, we gather in the shadow of a new age, where the cowtools of communication and the threads of connection are no more than playthings in the hands of those who would divide us. We have witnessed the rise of a platform, Tiktok, which has spread its tendrils across our lands, capturing the minds of our youth with its siren songs of entertainment and triviality.
But let us not be deceived by the glittering facade of this digital behemoth. For behind its jovial mask lies a more sinister intent, the manipulation of information, the harvesting of our very thoughts and desires. And now, with the decision to ban Tiktok, we find ourselves at the precipice of a new kind of conflict.
From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the digital realm. This curtain, not of steel and stone, but of code and algorithm, separates us from the free exchange of ideas, from the open discourse that has long been the cornerstone of our civilization.
We must stand firm, for this is not merely the banning of an app; it is the declaration of a digital battleground where the freedom of information is at stake. We must not let this iron curtain, this barrier of censorship and control, become the new normal. We must fight for a world where our voices are not silenced, where our thoughts are not dictated by those who sit in distant lands, pulling the strings of a vast, invisible network.
Let us remember the spirit of resistance, the unyielding resolve that has carried us through times of darkness before. We must ensure that this digital curtain does not become a permanent fixture, but a challenge to be overcome. For if we allow this to stand, we surrender not just our entertainment but our very essence of liberty.
In this struggle, we must be vigilant, we must be united, and above all, we must be free. The battle for the digital frontier is upon us, and we shall not yield. We shall prevail, for we are the guardians of freedom, the bearers of truth, and the architects of a future where no curtain, no matter how iron, can dim the light of human spirit and ingenuity.
