I saw an article that said the 90 day extension ends April 5th. It didn't say exactly what will happen to tiktok afterwards, though. May go dark again or it may not. Just wondering if anyone has seen anything about it?
I saw where Trump mentioned just extending the date again. They still trying to work a deal out with China supposedly.
Who cares
It will continue working
It sucks now anyway
Get off the propaganda app that sells you Temu garbage and hijacks your dopamine
Will you sign up for the Neptune app if TikTok goes down?
Will it still get banned if Frequency gets to acquire and decentralize it?
for everyone who wants to support a more democratic way of doing social media you should know that there is an app called skylight in development that is going to be a tiktok clone bluesky viewer. it shows you videos by bluesky accounts but it looks like tiktok. the developer is on tiktok and gives frequent updates. i'm currently testing the beta version. of course it will work better the more people use it. it already looks like tiktok but it doesn't have all of its features yet
i don't think tiktok is going away spontaneously but it might slowly degrade. especially if the us government or tech billionaires influence its content. so i think its a good idea to make parallel accounts and support alternatives. skylight/ bluesky are built in a way that it can be decentralized so it won't be bought by a billionaire who can fully control it. nobody can fully control this tech. that could be a revolution for social media. but it needs more people in order to become serious competition
No one is sure, unfortunately. I’d follow this woman for news on TikTok, she’s really great. She also has a newsletter, in case TikTok isn’t accessible anymore.
By law, gotta get banned on the app stores, and might have to get banned by ISPs but that is yet to be seen.
