Nearly all of the good content on TikTok are from the American context creators... more specifically, the Black American content creators.

I feel so bad for all the small business owners and Black content creators who built their entire brands/businesses from TikTok. Hopefully this is resolved quickly and TikTok becomes available in the US again.

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated to be only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

I'm scared (It's my employer)  :dead:

oph.

yall reaching

did you think they were gonna do a staggered shutdown according to each timezone? vccccc

and trump bringing this back is not going to make him be seen as no damn savior. healthcare has been cut, taxes are being raised for the middle, women are losing their rights, farms and other major industries are facing worker shortages as a result of his deportation approach, and he's about-facing on campaign promises and aligning with musl on issues that are pissinh his own base off. and thats just off the top of my head :omf:

Purple Moon

Whats the tea on tiktok linking to fb messenger automatically hours before the shutdown happened???
Must be a purple moon, feel like one of those nights...

u clearly skipped over the article I posted where even the White House said tik tok is pulling an unnecessary "stunt"

I thought it was a bit stunt-ish considering it was shut down early (and started thinking why did they still shut it down at all. I was confused because Biden got a green light to enforce the ban from SCOTUS but opted not to) but I did a lil research to confirm my theory.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5093393-white-house-tiktok-ban-joe-biden-support/amp/

Turns out they gave a "warning" that they'd "go dark" unless they received outright support from Biden, instead of his passive "I'll just leave it to trump" mess.

so tik tok still shutting down is definitely an effort to apply pressure, send a message and prove a point.

Tik tok wants the gorls to SEE what their absence could do . It's typical obnoxiously annoying chink behavior but also smart - as proving negative and widespread impact (including cultural and even economic consequences) could discourage the US government from fuckin with them in the future.

Here's an excerpt from the article in case you're too lazy to click the link.

QuoteThe White House on Saturday called TikTok's statement warning that it will "go dark" on Sunday unless President Biden steps in a "stunt," arguing the app doesn't have to take action before President-elect Trump is sworn in.

"We have seen the most recent statement from TikTok. It is a stunt, and we see no reason for TikTok or other companies to take actions in the next few days before the Trump Administration takes office on Monday," outgoing press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wrote in a statement Saturday.

and the white house is reaching too 
cvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Just pack up that "time zones!" statement u tried to make

Regardless of time zone, a shut down on the 19th was not a requirement. The ban was approved, but not yet enforced.

This is a fact, not a "reach".
