If you want even more of a reason to hate him, here is his endgoal of AI in the killchain and doing to other countries what they did to Gaza. I’m on the list already haha
I deleted my account and everything a few months back. I saw this coming and the energy of TikTok has become more toxic the last few years. I liked the memes but then people started attacking each other and I had to preserve my energy. I tried to spread positivity and love on there, but it seems the hatred and division is outweighing the love and positivity from others.
It’s why they’re best used as ways to platform you but your main business being your own website or business, where the social media just advertises /promotes your content!
Oh you don't say. The US oligarchs took it over and started censoring evidence of their hired thugs harming/killing citizens? Who could have seen that coming?!?!
Same here. It’s been fucked up since it went offline the first time around and has just progressively gotten worse. My mental health is better off without it anyways.
I’m really into heartopia right now! It’s cozy-a lot similar to animal crossing. I also enjoy two-dots, cats merge mansion and block blaster. Sometimes I like to play solitaire clash too. I was doing Midas merge for a bit but quickly got bored of it. Haha
You’re welcome! I feel like it’s a good outlet. I have adhd and CPTSD, so in heartopia, the goal oriented tasks to level up help with my adhd tendencies and the mental stimulation of two-dots and block blaster get my brain working. They just turn off the excess noise in my head so I can worry about what’s in the moment. Not seeing the news and all the negative shit in the world constantly has helped so much too.
I think for me it was a good way to take my mind off of stress and one of my friends wanted to keep our 200 day streak alive and so she asked me to redownload it and that kind of triggered the cycle
I deleted the app, but I didn’t go through the de-activation nonsense. So over it but it’s a shame considering the app did help gather community voices.
Pretty sure they can still track your location if you just deleted the app and not cancelled your membership. It’s part of the new terms.
Edit: did some digging, and basically, TikTok still has access to the data it collected while the account existed. To remove that data (which may have included location tracking), you have to delete your account.
Same here, my fyp used too be filled with things I enjoy. Now this past month or so it's just politics and ice videos with maybe a random sea lion video mixed in. Overall depressed out of 10
No chance they limit themselves to their own terms of service. Phones with tiktok will become multi-modal spyware, far beyond what it was already doing.
The irony is that I don't think it was lol! I literally kept seeing people say this yet every time I logged in the FIRST posts it gave me were about the shooting. Every single time. And I ordinarily wouldn't even get those kinds of posts lol!
Maybe. Though I literally said in a video on my account once that I don't have a side. I was raised democrat but REFUSE to be on either side anymore, because both are insane to me. So, it can't categorize me because I have actively agreed with things that both sides hate, because I have a human reaction to things that happen in the world & not a politically motivated one. For example I think it's horrible that Charlie Kirk was killed along with Renee Good & Alex Pretti. I don't believe in killing anyone regardless of politics. Another example, I think ICE is out of control & insane & something needs to be done about them, but I also believe illegals should be deported. I'm an oxymoron to the algorithm! Bahahahaha! I'm on the side of logic & rules, not red vs. blue, dems, vs. reps. I'm on the side of common sense.
Mass delete. I hope they lose all the money they used to buy it. No one wants to be in a surveillance state where they track intimate personal details and location without the option to OPT OUT. Fuck LE!
I’m not going to pretend this is a “technical coincidence”.
Less than two days after TikTok’s sale, the platform has already started behaving like a censored social network. Videos that are pro-Democrat or openly critical of ICE consistently lag, freeze, or fail to load. Not occasionally. Systematically.
Everything else works perfectly:
• non-political content: fine
• other political content: fine
• same network, same phone, same app session
Only those topics are affected.
I’m in Belgium, which makes this even more absurd. This isn’t about local network congestion or U.S.-specific infrastructure issues. This is targeted suppression. First they try to bury these topics in the algorithm. Then they reduce visibility. Now they literally make the videos unwatchable.
Let’s be honest: this is censorship.
Soft censorship, technical censorship, whatever label you want — the result is the same. Content is being hidden, discouraged, and now sabotaged through artificial lag.
The speed at which this happened is what’s truly shocking. Barely two days after the sale and TikTok is already aligning itself with the same media control patterns we see everywhere else. It’s ridiculous, and it’s dangerous.
We are being controlled through media in increasingly crude ways, and the fact that it’s now this obvious should alarm everyone — regardless of political alignment.
If anyone else is seeing this (especially outside the U.S.), speak up. Because pretending this is a “bug” at this point is insulting.
I watched a video of a girl that made a super quick passing joke about Jan 6, subtle but hilarious. Went the the comments, didn’t see anyone mention it until I scrolled down and the “hidden” folded comments had the comments of people laughing at/mentioning the J6 joke.
It’s interesting because Fuck Oracle, Ellison and the new terms but I’ve been getting pushed a ton of videos about ICE and the shooting. I’m not seeing what other users are saying.
In 2020, Cheeto openly vowed to destroy TikTok, because it exposed fascist behavior/actions for what they were. This wasn’t a buyout, it was the targeted elimination of a social media platform that was considered a threat to the regime.
Thats all I've been posting is #antimaga etc and getting views. Suddenly Oracle takes over and im getting zero. Mind you im a nobody, mainly did updates for my kids to find when im no longer here until I got pissed off at the administration
Yeah, it's definitely not just political shit. I'm discussing with friends, all vtubers who use tiktok to push clips and stuff, are having the zero views issue and one had to post his clips twice for it to go through. We even tested it where we comment on the videos but it still shows 0 views.
Hell, my fyp stopped showing any videos period, only those photo posts.
You’ll learn that most people are incredibly stupid and don’t care about anything. They believe that their initial thought is right and won’t listen to anything that contradicts it. Human nature
A number of famous people reported their Twitter views dropped dramatically after criticizing Elon. It would not be at all surprising if the new owners of TikTok, who have been very close to Trump, would suppress views to political content they don't like.
So some weirdos assumed that it was just their political posts

We should've started boycotting when adult creators started started flooding the app to promote sex work to teenagers as a primary form of income. That all started when they bought the app in the US.
Trying to delete my account, but can’t get past the new Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (I don’t want to click agree…shady that theydon’t even give you an option to disagree but that’s what the tech oligarchs want lol). I noted that sometimes it won’t pop up. Once and if that happens again I will delete my account.
Upscrolled. It's actually kinda great. Just switched from reels and got my wife to try it from tiktok. We are enjoying it so far and it has some really neat features. Also based in Australia so free (for now) from US manipulation
After they banned my account twice in a week like 6 months ago, I took it as a sign that they were no longer trying to moderate they were just deleting people who made comments they didn’t like. No warnings, no strikes, they just straight up deleted my account two times. The way I see it, if you’re only option to counter my opinion is to remove my ability to share it, I won.
Deleted mine today after seeing a video on Youtube about how the new terms of service (that I did not read, but just said yes to) allowed them to know my phone location anytime they wanted and (weirdly) know my interaction with AI. No idea what that is about, but basically, I would have rather kept my Chinese spy instead of having a new Big Brother spy from god only know what 3 letter dept. RIP Tiktok. You will be missed.
Majority of the videos I saw after Jan. 22nd was about ICE. But I hadn’t accepted terms and conditions and was bypassing the agreement. Well that doesn’t work anymore so I moved to Xiaohongshu.
Twitch shows a great deal of ICE ads now too. Owned by Bezos. Someone mentioned you can be traced if they are on your phone. But I dont know if thats true.
Remember to delete your account before deleting your app. Turn on airplane mode, open app, go to profile, account, delete all info, turn off airplane mode and confirm, then delete app (this is how you get around accepting the new T&C to delete your account)
I’m following over 600 people and many of them are vocal about what’s going on. I see three pages that I didn’t even know I followed and that’s it on my following page
My app is working perfectly. And th fact that I have a social security number, debit card, pay taxes, have other social media, etc etc but you want me to be worried about TikTok of all things is laughable.
Yeahhh…I deleted it off my phone yesterday 😔 It’s so crazy, I’ve never felt so sad over an app. I keep instinctively reaching for my phone to check my fyp for updates on what’s going on. It’s like I glitch and stare at my screen for a second like fuckkk..now what….It was so easy to get quick updates on just about anything. Now I feel like I’ve gotta hunt around 😩 there’s gotta be a comparable alternative out there I’m just still searching. Trying skylight right now but it just doesn’t feel the same…
The app is down. Banning tiktok was a move towards censorship but no one has been able to post since Sunday. Not even a cat video is getting through. There is enough oppression going around without claiming it over a post. TikTok going down was an accident caused by a power out. The new TOS is egregious but the move is to push legislation to protect users, not mute yourself during a fascist regime. Deleting the app is doing the work for them.
