Folks quoting TikTok‼️

TikTok users in the U.S. are deleting the app at sharply higher rates following the company’s announcement of a new U.S.-based joint venture, with removals reportedly up around 150%.

The restructuring, meant to address national security concerns and avoid a potential ban, shifts majority control of TikTok’s U.S. operations to American investors while ByteDance retains a minority stake. Instead of easing concerns, the move has sparked backlash from users wary of updated privacy policies, data handling, and possible changes to content moderation.

Reports of technical issues and engagement drops have added to the distrust, fueling speculation online. As a result, alternative short-form video platforms are seeing increased interest from users looking for new options.

Despite TikTok’s assurances that user data remains protected, the surge in deletions highlights growing skepticism — and a rare moment where users are pushing back against platform changes in real time.🛑
