Summary
TikTok, with 170 million US users, faces a nationwide US ban starting January 19 unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells the platform.
A court rejected ByteDance’s bid to delay the ban, forcing TikTok to appeal to the Supreme Court.
The US government cites national security concerns over data collection, while TikTok argues its US user data is stored domestically.
President Biden may grant a 90-day extension, but the decision could fall to Trump, who has opposed banning TikTok.
You would WANT to use that shit? It is awful. Curious why you feel the need to have any social media at all? I get setting up private groups, chats, etc on your own hardware. But corporate made algorithm driven and profit centered applications out of your control seem like a horrible idea. And it turns out they are.
There are some echo chambers on here too, it’s almost impossible to escape echo chambers.
I feel the best it to see all of them and form your own opinions
