    TikTok in the US was spun out into a separate company. The global version of TikTok hasn’t changed, so the issues that the EU has with tiktok are still with china/btyedance.

    That being said, let’s get rid of social media everywhere!

      I agree get rid of it (along with all social media) but TikTok in Europe isn’t owned by the US. That’s still the version owned by China/Bytedance

      The US owned version was spun off just for the US market.

        I don’t. Never really used tiktok. But there are more than a few alternatives just one google search away.

    Definitely not a politically motivated decision, totally nothing to do with Tiktok’s role as the only non-US-based mass social network, absolutely not because of pro-Palestinian views on TikTok! Europe is totally free and there’s no censorship :D
