I most likely will not download the new app that’s replacing TikTok.

It’s called M2, and it’s going to be launched in September of this year. It’s meant to replace the current app. In March of 2026, this app will go completely dark. It will no longer be usable or accessible. The new version that comes out in September is U.S.-only. That means if you’re friends with someone on this app in Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, Australia, etc., you’ll no longer be able to interact with one another. We’ll only be able to interact with other U.S. citizens while the government takes the data they’ve so desperately wanted for years.

One of the greatest things about TikTok was being able to interact with people all over the world, to observe other people’s cultures and mindsets, and to see what’s going on outside of our little bubble that is the United States. The fact that they’re taking that away from us is something I can’t support.

“The Information” has an article about it, but you have to subscribe (not cheap) to read all of it. But other media outlets have reported on it, some based on that article. I’m bummed.

It’s unclear whether the new app will completely separate US users from non-US or if the app just uses different data practices.

I live close to the border, and bought a cheap phone in Canada, and made an account while there. In the Canadian version it already has regions, and is listed as Canada region, same as the app store so I don't think I'll need a vpn when app goes dark in the u.s.

I won't go over to the new app for sure.

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.
