Has been shut  down in the US .

What do you think ?

Addictive Chinese spy app or freedom of expression ?

I don't use it, but my granddaughter does.  I'm suspicious that it's dodgy.
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

Never used it, nor Instagram, nor Twitter. AND, I'm getting totally fed up with Facebook. Won't be anything left for me at this rate.  :boo:

Some of each I expect but I don't know why the USA of all places would want to shut it down.

Yesterday's joke from Twitter was a TicToc video which I downloaded and re-upped to Youtube so it could appear inline here.

I think TicToc is more a place for the very young but could be wrong. Being Chinese it is owned by the senior partner in the new axis of evil who are known to have no respect for any copyright and just produce rip offs that undercut western developed products and cyber spying is the order of the day for them.

I too thought Tik Tok was mainly for kids.
Twitter is OK I follow a couple of people on there.

Hopefully it will release healthcare and public service workers to devote more time to looking after the public.

I believe Tik Tok is back online again now.  Something to do with Trump I think?

Doesn't bother me as I have never used it.

Me neither, though I do sometimes get a video from it appearing in my FB Feed.

But I have never used it
