First video that popped up was AOC talking about how insidious this exact message is.

Anyone else think it’s oddly convenient how this happens just after Rednote jumps in popularity?

It’s clearly pro-Trump propaganda, but I also can’t help but think there’s more than one motivation going on here. People are jumping to another platform, time to remind them that TikTok is still here! Can’t risk pulling an Elon and losing all those users to an alternative.

But I’m just thinking out loud here. I don’t use TikTok or Rednote, so I don’t know how well they compare. Thoughts?

I think China doesn't want tiktok users to spread to rednote since they have a large domestic userbase already there, they don't want influenced americans influencing the chinese population creating influenception.

They're now also censoring pro-Palestine content.

Is this a real screenshot or an edit based off the previous "Tik Tok isn't available" message? I can't check as I am not in the USA.

Can confirm it’s real; went to check myself out of suspicion.

I mean Google Play did disable downloading it with a freeze warning about the ongoing issue.

Sucking up to Trump is exactly what any company would do right now if they want to ensure further existence and business. Musk and Zuck flipped even faster.

tbh I don't think it would have been that much different under Biden because he did say he wasn't interested in enforcing the ban which means he was also probably trying to negotiate TikTok to give partial ownership to someone in the USA. Either that or he lied for optics which is also nothing new lol.

I almost had a vomiting reflex. It is now pretty obvious that the whole thing was intended from the beginning to suck the small trump dick hard.

I never had tiktok and now have a superiority complex.

I expect reports of deleting any video saying otherwise in a few days.

YouTube is probably going to be the next platform to entrumpify
