TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.

The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.

I remember when tiktok was getting blocked. People got pretty riled up that they didn't have access to their propaganda app anymore.

The US fascists are doing a hard push on all social media in general ramping up at least since a few weeks ago. Seth Andrew's thinking atheist channel was dropped for no reason from yt, which by itself isn't unheard of, but several other popular religious debate channels (deconstruction zone, allegedly Ian, etc) are seeing a huge drop in opposition, religious callers starting at the same time when much of those were coming from TikTok and yt giving them a fair shake at recommendations based on their view counts. Yt is delisting or excluding from search results videos more now instead of demonetizing as well.

Is nobody else concerned that "they" know when software is installed or uninstalled?

  1. Good

  2. It was the same brand of red fascism before and after. Algorithm and databases still in Beijing, a few days ago the backup on Oracle went online.
