What exactly does that mean? I dont use tiktok, but I imagine it will still work if I already have it installed? Or is this a geoip restriction that doesn't affect Tor users? Or is it just not in the app stores?
Since it's not active, it looks to just be geo based as changing my VPN location makes it work.... This was my first time visiting the website and it was showing someone opening an egg he boiled for 2 hours... 💀
Maybe I should get on tiktok. A social media app with Americans sounds wonderful
without*?
Also I think this only affects one country in America?
Yes, my bad. Without.
Kind of funny that this kicks in the day before an inauguration.
Not funny, a deliberate decision by the legislature in order to safeguard it from whoever was going to win the election (since it was set before the election).
Conveniently just in time for Trump to blame it on the Democrats even though he started the process during his previous term.
It passed with bipartisan support
Amazing the citizens there will allow this. Land of the free lol
Users will also be given the option of downloading their data from the app, sources familiar with the plan told the outlet.
That’s nice of them. I bet Facebook and Twitter wouldn’t do that.
I don't know about twitter, but its very easy to download all of your data from Facebook. I did it yesterday in preparation for closing my account. Account->Settings&Privacy->Your Information->Download Your Information.
That is a bit harder than “click here to download” on the front page.
You are the best kind of correct.
Pretty sure they're both required to do that by law. I've downloaded all my Facebook data a few times
True, but I doubt they’d put the effort into making it easy for someone to download it in the message.
There goes my plan to sell jailbroken iPhones to zoomers.
Could you not access with a VPN?
Access what? There is nothing to access.
