    He’s not even president yet and TikTok went offline voluntarily. No one but TikTok has done anything regarding the ban, and all they did was flip a switch off then back on. More young folk than I thought are very skeptical or even staying off it because they rightfully distrust Trump. It’s like they chose the devil they didn’t know to get away from the devil they did, and now both devils are there. Im sure many will stay however.

      I’m pretty sure Google and Apple both directly removed the apps from the stores since the law officially went into effect today, the company did not request them be removed. And a promise from

      But otherwise, yeah.
