STATEMENT FROM TIKTOK:
In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service. We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive.
It’s a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship. We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States.
But anyways, here’s how I feel in song form: https://t.co/M3ayyQ4Dvs big shout out to OCT Official Music who I found via TikTok who created the perfect outro to TikTok.
I think people forget that creators and small businesses use TikTok as a means of income and promotion for their brand or business. TikTok being banned means many small businesses and creators have to pivot last minute to a different app.
TikTok being banned means that $24B made from this app towards the US GDP didn’t mean ‘anything’ to the government. This is a loss for multiple reasons. Can we regulate the things that really matter in our country? Maybe healthcare, g^n control, education?
I am absolutely disgusted. The internal sexism America has is horrible. You choose a felon over a well qualified and educated woman? Ok sorry this isn’t even about politics anymore… you choose having “cheaper eggs” over someone’s potential rights and bodily autonomy.
