BREAKING - Tiktok has now SHUT DOWN SERVICES in the United States, noting "A law banning Tiktok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate Tiktok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!"

I just don’t see how this move and the timing was not orchestrated to manipulate uninformed TikTok users into supporting Trump. The explicit callout to Trump in the message… I have been fearing the next presidency and this was a blow.
Glazing Donald's ego is a last ditch effort to save their platform. This is entirely on the Democrats—they didn't have to agree to the ban, they could have insisted on higher standards for transparency and data security for social media instead. But banning the platform that featured pro-palestinian sentiment was more important to them. Now all that's left is billionaire owned pro-Trump social media which Tik Tok may or may not join in the future. Good job guys!
