I never liked TikTok, now those TikTok refugees are migrating to xiaohongshu, though I do like the cultural exchange since it’s long overdue, but I’ll say, posting those brainrot crime committing videos does not qualify as quality content and it’s a bad reflection on American culture and its society. Plus it’s really fucking with my feed on the app

Save the kids. Shutdown all social media. It’s toxic and adds nothing positive to society.

Can't believe all the people who can't look past the annoying sounds and recognize how dangerous it is to normalize having a government that has a habit of banning media just because it's foreign owned

I assume my data is being stolen by all these apps, the thing I’m sick of are constant ads and subscriptions.

Just remember the government could have helped with rent or groceries or any matter of vital pressing social issues
But they thought TikTok was what really needed to go; eliminating jobs and the way people communicate and organize and entertain themselves
their corrupt intentions couldn’t be more obvious

I know everybody like to hate on tiktok influencers but there are also like 6 million small businesses that rely on tiktok for business so it’s gonna be impactful for a lot of americans beyond just having one less mindless social media app
