For those that haven't seen it... the US Tictok homepage has been turned into this..
Quote: | Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now
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!
In the meantime, you can still log in to download your data. |

Yep. Not my thing at all. It will be back very shortly. Trump will think restoring it will make him popular with its users; and he’s right for a large number of them. _________________ "You know it seems the more we talk about it, it only makes it worse to live without it."

I liked Tiktok. It has a lot of funny cats and dogs videos. I know I can find those on Youtube but tiktok was much more convenient. With it going down yesterday I actually got back to what I enjoyed doing before sleeping, reading a book. |

Create a crisis and come swooping in at the last minute to look like a hero. Funny enough, most of the people won't remember. Trump is president because most of the populace is dumb as rocks. |

Quote: | Police said the 19-year-old suspect “admitted to starting the fire in response to recent talks of a TikTok ban.” Grothman was among a bipartisan majority of 360 House members who voted last year in favor of a bill that would force TikTok’s Chinese parent company to sell the app or face a ban in the U.S. That ban went into effect over the weekend. |
Police and fire personnel responded to the report of a fire at the strip mall containing the congressman's office at around 1 a.m. Sunday. https://www.sheboyganpress.com/story/news/local/2025/01/19/tiktok-ban-cited-in-arson-of-us-congressman-glenn-grothmans-office-in-fond-du-lac/77825530007/ |

“As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the US!”, appears on the front page now. What are the odds that Trump made that statement a condition of its return? |

Like holding up our COVID relief checks so he could illegally put his signature on the checks? |

Its like Trump fixing a bunch of non-existent problems. Like renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. |

I was sure from the very start that they will not ban it. Not surprised. |

Just another publicity stunt by a Trump donater. Looks like all the social media apps are directing their propaganda toward bending the knee to the administration. |
