Question for Tik Tok users & those that don't use Tik Tok - If you use Tik Tok, are you thinking about leaving the app now, following this news? If you don't use it, but know someone who does, will you advise them to leave the app?
Never been on Tik Tok.. never trusted it, saw shit coming I suppose. So it's an official surveillance machine now, HEADS UP! Sadly the people I know who use it are addicted (by design) I hope they seek recovery. I will encourage them to do so.
I used TT a lot, loved it, but has been declining ever since the shutdown last year, all ads, can’t find creators I follow. I haven’t and won’t hit “Agree” on their new terms.
I've used Tik Tok to record videos, but never use the app for consuming. I know a lot of people have created small businesses for themselves through that app, so I know this won't be an easy transition, but it's one I think we have to take.
I've never been on Tik Tok OR Twitter/X and, no Im not under a rock! However I do use Instagram and occasionally post my own personal original photos there. I scroll around there but don't involve myself in a social way. I use it for my camera roll so my distant family and friends can see my photos. Probably a good time to stop this practice and use a thumb drive. Sad ya know? Regulations are next to impossible to legislate it seems. Be safe all!
Where does Substack fit on list! Get off alllllll social apps except blue ones. Do it now! Stop whining and waiting to do it. If you don’t, you are being complicit.

Done.
Does anyone know where Substack stands on this issue?
I wish I knew the answer to that question. Haven't been able to find that information anywhere yet.
Conscious decision never opened a tik tok account. Will not advise others but will ask their thoughts.
Deleted twitter account (yes pre-X) just 2 weeks after Musk spent OPM Other People’s Money to buy it, never looked back.

Deleted Tik Tok months ago. Will definitely share this with those who do still have it....
No question . Moving on.
Definitely the right move
Done!
Awesome.
Never used it and, now never will. I imagine other platforms are not too dissimilar
Boycott TikTok…
close your accounts and never look back.
You could try using a VPN service, Afterall, TikTok only has American leadership in the US.
Happy to say I don't use any of them.
I left the App I am sick of Trump administration ruining everything in America!
So is CapCut now following the same policy as TikTok? I use CapCut and did not see any massages about updated privacy policies
Yes, CapCut also falls under this particular umbrella.

Like 99.8% of all (anti)social media it sucks. Best advice is to get off all major platforms and enjoy the noise free life.

It will affect, not effect.
We have Substack, let’s not forget it.
