The way Elon Musk could potentially reshape TikTok concerns me as much as it does you. I think Elon is only good at rockets and cars, not with social media.

Yes, I believe it's still available on both Apple store and Google Play Store. As long as it's not fully banned, it's going to be available.

That is great. I was not very happy to have read that it was banned. People needs freedom of speech and Tiktok offers a better opportunity for them.

Well, it depends. It doesn't offer freedom of speech if it's doing what USA said it was doing by spying on the country. It's a threat to their National security.

Tiktok is currently unavailable on both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store for users in the United States. If a user deletes the app from their phone, they won’t be able to reinstall it.
It’ll be available again as soon as it’s sold.

Many people in US will be hoping for Tiktok to be sold which will allow them access to the app. If it's banned permanently, there will be a mass hysteria in the States.

How much do you think Tiktok is worth if they are considering selling it? It should be more than what Elon Musk paid for Twitter/X.

I think it’s worth around $100-200 billion. It’s worth a lot more than Twitter was as it’s more profitable.
Microsoft and Oracle are potential buyers.
Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion.

Microsoft definitely have the financial capacity to make the purchase. They paid a total of $75.4 billion to acquire Activision Blizzard.

I'm one of those that have never ever used Tik Tok and think it's a senseless waste of time and should be banned just because of the level of stupidity that goes into it lol...

The banning of TikTok is because of the excessive response to the situation at hand, especially the privacy concern. One lesson learnt from this is responsible media behavior instead of suppressing entire social media networks. But I'm glad the ban was lifted by our controversial president.

They unbanned it but Apple and Android still have no added it back to Apple Store or Play Store.

Wow! I didn't know this. The current level of impact TikTok has on younger generations exists as a major point of concern. Other than that, it's a great platforms to keep me busy and unwind.

From what I heard, they are not going to add it until either the sale of Tiktok is finally done or it's banned out permanently.

They added Tiktok back earlier today.
