Still working in SEA.
This is what I get when I open the app. Now where am I going to get the perfect recipe of cat videos, dog videos, and more cat videos?
Fourteen hours of each day just opened up. Christ on a cracker.
Has anyone tried using a proxy or VPN?

Asking those who want to use Tik Tok.LOL no, what for?
I am babysitting my grand niece while my sister and brother in law are in England for my brother in law's mother's funeral. She is already not happy. 13 year olds are addicted to that thing.Looks like TikTok is going to be redpilling all the cool kids.
I guess everyone has to migrate to Red Note now.
An actual Chinese app many TikTokers has fled to.What is that?

The great social media migration: Sudden influx of US users to RedNote connects Chinese and Americans like never before
Now Red Note is completely Chinese, it does not have a Western office and a separate Western App that in theory is independent from the Chinese mother company. It follows all PRC's censorship laws because it's the same app that is live in China.
The entire TikTok vs. various US and State Governments is beyond stupid.
1. Being addictive, and exposing kids to adult content? Yeah, like kids can't Google up a porn video elsewheres.![]()
2. Being addictive...... like the addicted kids who have their faces stuck in a video game 24/7/365 ?
3. Yeah, the US government is really doing us a service when they don't hold Reddit and X to the same standards in regards to porn being splattered through their sites.
4. TikTok isn't unique in data harvesting either.
Jillian Wilson over at the HuffPost put out a good piece on this 3 days ago.

Should You Even Care If TikTok Has Your Data? Here’s What Cybersecurity Pros Say.
Some people want to ban the app for data security reasons, but does that really matter? Experts share what they think.www.huffpost.com
Olivia Powell over at Tom's Guide wrote another good piece.
So, TikTok is far from alone in the extremity of its data harvesting. In fact, you could argue that its data privacy practices are better than those of Meta or X. It has not fed user content into its generative AI models, at least. But, for TikTok, the data harvesting is said to be a matter of national security. If that same finger was pointed at the likes of Meta and X, it would be hard to see that they're doing much that's different.

TikTok is under fire for harvesting data – but is it worse than any other social media platform?
Does TikTok collect more of your data than other social media platforms?www.tomsguide.com
The NSA is a bigger threat than all of them combined and they have access to everything, so...What part of "spyware" and "national security" did you miss in all this?
Blah blah blah.........MAGA!What part of "spyware" and "national security" did you miss in all this?

TikTok is no more dangerous to the US than X , Reddit, and other platforms.
See post #21.
Ah, the blind obedience of the MAGA.

Every single social media platform can take your data and sell it to the Chinese on the ****ing street 24/7/365.
Oh, it seems that you are a little slow on the uptake because I despise Trump.
