Luvsmyfam — Tue, 19 Mar 2024 23:43:08 GMT

As most of you have heard,TIKTOK is getting closer to having their app removed.I happen to watch tiktok and follow people.I have made some of their recipies and cocktails and find them very good.Will it be the end of the world for some? I should hope not.I think several are jumping to the utube page.I find it nice to watch after a long work day.Just curious friends.

I don't watch TikTok but I do watch a lot of YouTube shorts which I assume are similar.

I'm not a TikTok watcher. Life will go on. Someone will come up with something else to keep us glued to our phones/tablets.

I don't involve myself with TikTok in any capacity. Never have.

I don't care one way or another as I've never watched it. I'm sure it will be taken over by some other entity.

@Luvsmyfam

Im not on Tik Tok. However, I do feel bad for adults who are and have content they regularly watch. Hopefully, it will be bought by an American company so it doesn't get banned.💝

TikToc, TokTok or whatever they call it is no interest of mine. No loss of sleep here.

I will feel happy. By choice, I have nothing to do with TICTOK and never will.

It should not have been allowed in the USA in the first place. National Security is nothing to fool around with.

It's been stated repeatedly that the app is probably still going to be around. It's the ownership that will change.

Have never had anything to do with it.

I do not care if it goes.

If it happens, it won't be in the immediate future. I don't use Tik Tok. I have played around with it but the attraction just isn't there for me. I suppose I just haven't spent enough time familiarizing myself with it. I wouldn't miss it but I'm in the minority. Just about everyone I know is practically obsessed by it.

never watched TikTok in fact, it's banned from my gd by her parents so there must be a reason.

I rarely check FB not much into "social media".

I will feel...annoyed. The real reason the US gvt wants to ban it is because they can't control what is shared there (unlike on fb, etc...) and want to continue their censorship of facts.

I've only ever been on TT through its website using a VPN. Won't bother me if the website is pulled down in the USofA. The TTokers will just move on over to Instagram if they are not already there.

Dom't care at all. Never bothered to learn to use it. I'm really not big into any social media, I look at facebook minimally, same with instagram and you tube. Don't do X at all.

You should do some research. TikTok invades your privacy,collects data and can keep copies of your e-mail and all of your activities.

If you delete the app,they can still collect info and even if you never installed the app, but clicked on something and watched TikTok, it steals your info.

Now,if you say you have nothing to hide,think again. Your financial info, banking,credit card, medical and lots of other sensitive info is collected.

Once it's into your operating system, it's permanent and dangerous. It is already banned in several countries and many large US corporations have banned their employees from using it.

It's very troubling.

I don't use it and consequently won't miss it. People will complain but they'll find a replacement soon enough.
