They just could not take China's frequent demands to user data if I remember correctly so they left, this happened most specially to Google, do you know why apps like weibo are created in the first place? Because Google, Meta and others have LEFT CHINA NOT BANNED IN CHINA

                          The atrocities comitted by that one 'manufactured country on stolen land that always plays the victim' I'd beyond criticism for some reason, as always. When >80% of us top gov positions is under their influence, this comes as no surprise.

                          If they really cared about the mental wellbeing of children and preventing harmful exposure, this should have been done as soon as the cringe started.

                                        I kept getting warnings on TikTok for random and harmless comments. It got to the point where I was scared to post anything - and I had never been in trouble with moderators before. I typed the word "dead" once in a post (which explains why so many people say unalive). Someone reported it and I was banned for 48 hours. Meanwhile, I was spammed almost daily with obvious bots advertising x-rated links. I must have made hundreds of reports and all I ever got back was "this post does not violate our terms of services". The platform is bonkers.

                                        I think the sooner it's gone or given to responsible owners, the better.
