idk all signs point to Bytedance not budging on this so it will be really funny if this backfires and tiktok becomes unavailable in the US.

Might see youtube shorts take off or something totally unforeseen pretty wild shit all around.

    someone mentioned the EU might force apple to allow side-loading in an unrelated suit and that would make the ban meaningless

    from what I’ve heard side-loading will only be enabled in the EU.

    the fanboys have told me this is a good thing, uwu smol bean apple is just protecting kids from downloading Clash_of_Clans_Hack_2024_Working.ipa monke-beepboop

    wonder if a tiktok ban changes their mind

    That’s what happened in India after TikTok got banned there. YouTube shorts took off and so did another platform called Josh.

    My only concern with YouTube shorts taking off is that their algorithm is a far-right cesspool.
