The ban was short lived. It was already coming back online when you posted this.

There are, but the "kids" think TikTok is better.

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

Yes, interesting who started the ban on TikTok and who amazingly saved TikTok, which was offline for several hours only. It’s up and running like nothing happened. Ironically, it’s the social media app I prefer the most.

Don't be surprised if your grandkids call up asking you how to use Facebook again.

Also, remember the final scene in the Truman Show where all the addicted viewers went right back to their 'normal' lives.

I never had anything to do with Tik Tok due to its links with Communist China. China should NOT be allowed to manipulate young Americans in any way. I would not have a problem with the site if it were US owned. As it is, there is too much potential for propaganda. The Supreme Court even upheld the ban that CONGRESS placed on Tik Tok. One of the better decisions by the Supreme Court.

Now the question becomes, is that a BAD thing or a Good thing?

Many thousands of Tik Tokers went over to Red Note app. which is 100% Chinese state owned and regulated.

Frying pan into the fire!
