I just don't see the actual advantages for users over Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts.

Call me an unrepentant nationalist, but if someone is going to be collecting more information about what I do on my phone than I'm comfortable with, they better be an American company!

i don't have Tik Tok and really don't know much about the controversy.

that being said, i'm a bit confused. 

i thought the R's hated China and the D's thought that it was overblown.

comments in this thread suggest otherwise. (which is, frankly, refreshing)

Biden administration officials, who leave office on Monday, have indicated they’re unlikely to enforce the ban, throwing TikTok’s fate into Trump’s hands. That’s forcing leaders within the company and in Beijing to consider dwindling alternatives for keeping the app alive after President Joe Biden signed the divestiture bill in April.

Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now

A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now.

We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!

In the meantime, you can still log in to download your data.

New YorkCNN — 

Around 12 hours after shutting itself down in the United States, TikTok is back for many users almost like it never left, attributing its return to a move by President-elect Donald Trump to save the app.

They can bury their head in the sand all they like.  Just click the link.  I don’t think you even need the app

It isn’t banned.   The ban only lasted for a few hours.  I’m watching the wrong missy.  It’s fantastic. I recommend.

I know you’re in IT.  That’s obvious.  It works in a browser.  I promise you.

Not in IT.

It works in your browser because you have the app. Without the app the Chinese government is not able to gather the info on you that they want, so to view, even in a browser, they push you to first download the app.

Say hello to Xi Jinping for me.
