BREAKING - Tiktok has now SHUT DOWN SERVICES in the United States, noting “A law banning Tiktok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate Tiktok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”

    Social media peaked in 2012/2013, before just before recommendation algorithms became a thing. Everything became insufferable afterwards.

      TBH, I found FB insufferable already in 2008, when I deleted my back-then 1 y/o account.

        Agree, I felt the bad effects of FB around then. It was just so pointless.
