President Trump said that he will ban TikTok from operating in the US, rejecting a potential deal for Microsoft to buy the app. TikTok users across the US began livestreaming and posting videos in tribute to what they feared was the end of the app
New York Late Friday night, a social platform best known for coordinated dance routines and funny videos turned somber. TikTok users across the US began livestreaming and posting videos in tribute to what they feared was the end of TikTok, the short-form video app they've come to love and depend on.
"Everyone is live right now," said Ehi Omigie, who has about 25,000 followers on TikTok, in a livestream on the app Friday night after news broke of a possible US ban."Everyone is going cray cray ... If it does happen, follow me on Instagram."Others were strategizing ways to get around a ban, including by trying to trick servers to make it look like they're browsing from a different country where TikTok is allowed to operate.
