Ban Still In Effect

TikTok is still banned in the US despite Trump’s joke of an executive order and the app’s public praise of the US President. On January 18, TikTok had two available courses of action: see the app removed from app stores but keep it up, or shut down altogether in the US. They made a show of choosing the latter but, since Trump’s executive order means absolutely nothing, the former condition still exists. TikTok could have chosen this course all along. I don’t even like TikTok that much, but my wife does. She’s going to lose it in a couple of days because we have to get new phones.

Trump made a show of “saving” TikTok in the US. TikTok reciprocated with support for Trump. In the end, the ban remains in effect, just as if Trump had done nothing. It was all a farce.

Reminder: Trump is the senile, geriatric, pants-crapping, lift-wearing fascist who started the crusade to ban Tik Tok.

You can only side load it now. Which is pretty easy to do.

I was so confused because I heard it was unbanned and I went to download just to find out it’s still banned

Omg thank you for saying this! I don't use tiktok but I'm flooded with posts on here daily of people not being able to access it. Last I heard trump saved it, and when I google, it just appears as if it was banned as planned. What you said makes so much sense!

It’s not the same now anyway. It’s made me refollow a lot of people and I have a bunch of people I had to unfollow because they followed them for me. All super trumpy people. I have trump blocked so thankfully it didn’t have me following him. But it’s not the same and I won’t care if it goes away. They have taken over all media and suing PBS and NPR means we will never have access to accurate information in this country.

Get her an Android then :) She'd be able to download the Tiktok APK from the browser

Trump has stated that the new funding operation they've apparently decided to make the "sovereign monetary fund" or whateverthefuck "could buy tiktok" which would make it state media. 🤷🏻‍♀️🫠

Of course, the ban is still in effect. Nobody ever said it wasn't!

It's just not being enforced.
