Default TickToc is down

Will be interesting to see productivity numbers for the week, I'd say more people getting out of the house, stores and such should get busier, right?

Probably. I rarely have gone onto TikTok. Maybe if someone on Facebook or Talk of the Villages mentions something on there, I might check it out.

I've never Tic-Tocked. So I don't know what I'm missing.

TikTok reminds me of America's Funniest Videos.

70% of viewers on TikTok 35 and under. The loss Probably won’t be an issue in any retirement community.

Now if Utube goes dark, how is one going to fix a leaky faucet

You can look up what/who came up with the legislation to ban tiktok in the first place, if you've forgotten. Discussing it here is an infraction of the rules though.

But the tl;dr summary: it's all politics.

I'm surprised since it obviously makes a lot of revenue, why this country hasn't started its own version of TikTok.

Tik Tok is privately owned ... as are it's 15 or so competitors.

If you're looking for an alternative, try Triller .... or, Clapper, which is more geared towards an older generation.
