[theqoo] THE UNITED STATES ACTUALLY BANNING TIKTOK IN REAL TIME

If you go to TikTok from the US right now, you will see the below pop-up

Just before the ban, American creators were crying and making a fuss during their live streams. While the app is mostly seen as something for kids in Korea, in the U.S., it was one of the major social media platforms. Many people used it for their livelihood or to post promotional videos for their businesses. Because of this, they even protested, asking to be allowed to continue making a living. In the end, it was banned. Trump, during his re-election campaign, said he would give a 90-day grace period, but it’s uncertain if that will actually happen…

1. How can you tell them to go to Reels or Shorts?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s as if they were banning Twitter for you and telling you to go on Threads…

2. It’s back after 14 hoursㅋㅋㅋ

3. I’m living in the US and it’s back now~ To be honest, people were already aware that it wasn’t true and that they had a deal with Trump and purposely did this. So I think that’s why it’s back againㅋㅋ

4. I’m jealous of the ban… I wish it was banned here too

5. They can just go on Insta or Shorts then, why must they go on TikTok? Is the technology different?

6. It’s already backㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ at this rate, why even ban it in the first place?ㅋㅋㅋ

7. Even if they do this in the US, there’s not that big of a difference. As someone living in the US, there are way more kids living without TikTok than with TikTok

8. Isn’t this a good thing?… There’s always a replacement. There’ll be another one soon

9. I’m living in the US and including myself, there are a lot of kids who has TikTok as their most used app. It was banned since yesterday night and it was such a shameㅠㅠㅠㅠ

10. They can just go on Insta
