A warning

I am posting this here as a warning to anyone else looking to redownload the app. I never deleted it, and I wish I had sooner. When the app was no longer banned, I found it to be heavily censored, with live and shop being removed. I also noticed my feed was replaced entirely with political talk, negativity, and worse. So here is my warning: if you redownload it, be ready for a lot of uncomfortable videos or videos you just don’t want to watch get forced into your feed. Also, be prepared for a LOT of ads. If doom scrolling or political talk is what you like, then go for it. But if you want to avoid it, I recommend keeping it uninstalled. There are other options to replace it with(look for the one you like best. I’ve found one I enjoy quite a bit). Just remember: if you redownload, be careful.

Tiktok has already been political and heavily censored since before the ban. Also Apple and google play dont have it available to redownload.

I deleted it the moment they started licking trumps taint. It’s going to be owned by Meta or First Lady Elon Musk so it’s not even worth revisiting.

I deleted it AND I’m a small business owner on Tik Tok. I don’t give af.. I will not support Trump, musk or his cronies.. EVER. I’m literally about to throw my dreams and family life vision away just because I hate this mf so much and being a lawyer is the only way to actually be in a position to change things.

My feeed Haven't gotten any right wing ads bit i admit when it first got brought up i did encounter some right wing ad

Its just you honestly. All my friends and I's for you page and everything else has returned to normal. I get like 1 ad every 200-500 videos. Why are you seeing so many ads? The political content was because trump just got into office. What do you mean there wont be news about politics? Cause reddit sure as hell is all about trump news right now. 10x more than tiktok. It's Jan 23 and the algorithms moved on to the newer cali fires, lively and baldoni gossip, and etc.

Do yourself a favor and delete the app if its not what you like.

my FYP is the same few people over and over. No one i follow, no content i follow. The ONLY people who are on it i do follow are really super big creators. I can not block any accounts. The lives are all the fake lives of pre-recorded videos, the same thing over and over. It is all 100% political now. I did not follow politics before. I went out of my way to block them. Many creators are now getting community guidelines violations for things like a gay pride flag in their profile picture.

For the first time EVER, my husband had corn pop up on his. Hard core.

Hate the Fact that TIkTok proved the US is not a free country, but at least everyone knows now

I mean freedom is speech, gone. freedom of commerce, gone because only Mafia Dons hold a gun to your head and force you to sell your company, oh Mafia Don's and the corrupt US government. Freedom of association gone, and gone with a ruling fully hypocritical to their Citizens United Ruling that increased government corruption in the US. I mean not a surprise from a court that held bribery was legal and the President is above the law. The Banana Republic has come home to roost.

how do I make tiktok give me normal search results again

i’m tired of recommended or suggested searches that are based off of your algorithm I just want regular search results. either It’ll be some random video with 30 likes or something that’s not even remotely related to what you looked up and if you move off of one of the videos that was under the search results it just disappears.

Live streams always getting restriction

It doesnt matter what I do, what I talk about. Within like 10 mins my live stream gets restricted for "redirection" and then if I appeal it, it gets denied. Customer Ser. Tells me there is no restrictions that they see. This has been an issue for months. I even took time away from trying. Any suggestions? Make doing tiktok shop live or just relaxing and chatting impossible
