TikTok Ban Explained: Everything You Need To Know About The US TikTok Ban 2025

TikTok is facing a major legal showdown that could completely change social media as we know it.

[gachagon]

Going back and forth between Rednote and Tiktok is so funny because on Rednote it's legit nothing but good vibes and people posting their daily lives, and then on Tiktok there's people acting as if downloading Rednote will summon Ji Xinping himself in their room.

"G-guys if I post on there about insert topic d-do you think the post will be....taken down? I heard there's...censorship on that scary new, chinese app so I just want to know before I go over there :(("

I've started to just tell people to go and see for themselves instead of wasting time asking random foreigners about the app lol. Chinese people are human and are not going to kill you because you posted about being gay or trans or being a furry T_T

Is this to say that there are no bigots in China? Obviously not, but it's a fucking country of millions and millions of people who all have differing ideas and opinions...just like the USA.

I don't understand how some people on tiktok who claim to not be racist or xenophobic can say all of this shit about a chinese majority app with no introspection whatsoever.

"B-but you can't post about insert topic on Rednote! That's bad because it's censorship!!" oh you mean like how American websites have become heavily censored in the last year or so? How people on tiktok can't even say the word "Rape" or "Pedophile" without having their video taken down regardless of the context of said video? All of the things you "can't" do on American social media, you can't do on Rednote T_T I don't know why people are going over to an app and trying to talk about things they already know they'd be suppressed over here for talking about lol.

Also some of those tiktok videos saying "Rednote censors these topics!" are misinformed because a lot of Rednote users have said that they can talk about those topics, it's just that there are ways to do it and dedicated hashtags for it etc and a lot of my fellow Americans are ignorant about all of these new things.

It's official, US TikTok is going dark right now. Lives vanish bit by bit, East to West.

So time for the Tumblr house rules for those few, who'll find their way here:

Before everything else, personalize your blog! Put a different picture up, write a bio and/or make your first individual post, or people will think you are a bot. Then it's on sight. We block and report those immediately, thanks to the great porn bot wars.

Once that's done:

1. Speak clear and freely. Say what you mean, we don't do that 1984 Newspeek and emojis instead of words here.

2. Tags are a way to sort your stuff AND to communicate. But stay on topic. No spam tagging. And no censoring words or no one will ever be able find anything. Search system is shot enough to hell as is.

3. Don't like, don't read. The block button is your friend.

4. Reblog, don't repost. We don't steal content here. Always give credit. Which is also the reason for...

5. AI is not liked here. It is trained on stolen content. Just don't.

6. There is no such thing as a Tumblr influencer. Even our big names are just normal people, who just stick out due to longevity and/or weirdness.

7. Follower count doesn't matter. No one can see who has what amount of followers and we don't care.

8. Our "viral" posts are our heritage posts. Some might have breached containment and have been shared to other sites. We keep them going because we genuinely like them or want to keep the ancient magic alive.

9. Which leads to likes. They are nice and you obviously are not supposed not to give them, but they don't really matter apart from spamming the notifications of the OP. Reblogging keeps Tumblr alive.

10. We have our own holidays. Don't worry, you will not be forced to partake, but you will be confronted with them. Unless there is another round of The Boopening. Sorry, but no one escapes The Boopening! (Many prefer it to the Mishapocalypse, but this the SPN site, so never discount a Mishapocalypse. Or getting your news via Destiel meme.)

11. Our lore (Tumblr history) is wild. Stolen bones, human pets, dashcon, crucifix nail nipples, the bullying of John Green off the platform (the totally unrelated intern of a coffee company has forgiven us), female presenting nipples, Goncharov, crab raves... This site has been around for a very long time and a lot of us have been around for most of that. We are proud to have remained "ungovernable" and are unapologetic about it, thus we celebrate our history. Even the failures.

12. You can use the "discover" feed of course. But we basically only ever use the "following". No algorithm, just an endless reverse chronological scroll.

13. There is no verification system. We know that people like Wil Wheaton, Lynda Carter and Misha Collins are the real deal, because they verified themselves through other official means. Otherwise everybody can be whoever they want to be. Meaning also that you always should use common sense before chipping in with donations.

14. It's your blog, not some social media account. If you change interests (however often you want), just post about those. Your followers mostly won't care. Hell, about 90% of the blogs I follow have changed names, themes and topics so many times, I don't even remember why I followed in the beginning. (The amount of second hand knowledge about shows/movies I obtained...) If it gets too much, unfollow or block relevant tags.

15. Pixelated icons indicate that the blog has been flagged/self-reported as containing adult themes, mainly nudity. Goes back to great porn purge (see female presenting nipples). It's also why sometimes posts have pictures removed for going against Tumblr's content policy. There is still enough nudity going around.

Welcome, have fun, look around, find your niche, and don't worry. We don't bite. Much.

So with the rise of influencer fcs in the Tumblr rpc, I figured I’d make a quick masterlist of Instagram accounts who keep track of people who has requested not to be roleplayed so people can cross check them before they use / gif someone. Please don’t rip screenshots / the entire list while using these without reaching out for consent from the account who posted it too, it's considered rude to do so in their rp community and as guests, we should respect that:

donotmodelrp (also posts problematic fcs)

rpmodel4u (also posts influencers who has given the thumbs up, has a pinned post to request influencers for them to reach out and ask)

helpingrpm (posts approvals as well)

thighs4fcs (has both a tellonym and takes requests in dms to reach out to influencers and ask)

sk8bnny (posts approvals as well)

Most of these accounts also have highlights (which may include screenshots from people who didn’t give consent even to post their photos to let people know they’re not to be rped and links to other accounts posts of fcs who've asked not to be used, so they’re worth checking).

I can’t wait for all of the content creators slowly returning to TikTok like doomsday cultists going back to work the day after the world was supposed to end

[brinksnow]

i love people posting “rules” for people coming to tumblr from tiktok like ?? it’s tumblr no one gives a fuck about your rules stop 😭😭

[pyreneese]

Temu and Shien: *takes your information, destroys the environment, uses borderline slave labor, has shitty security and has made clothing/textiles actively worse through fast fashion*

The US government: Hey, let's ban the social media app

[troublcmakcrs]

//tumblr be normal about fiction challenge

imagine being immature enough to make snap judgments about someone's morality based on how they like to play with the dolls in their dollhouse lmfao; couldn't be me

[danganronpaisbest]

Well CapCut guess you kinda deserve it for being money hungry... at least I have still have my KineMaster... who knows maybe they'll add some of the features you had on the app and MAKE IT FREE

one of my favorite tiktok things is when there’s a funny expression in a video and then everyone replaces their pfp to comment… wanted to document it 👍

And another thing! I hope to the gods that ByteDance doesn't sell to ANY US company, or billionaire, or what have you. Doing so would be setting a dangerous precedent. I especially hope that they don't give into to Mark Yuckerburg. These tech CEOs and billionaires want so badly to own and control the information available to us, a direct contradiction to the piece of paper they so badly cling to. They want so desperately want us to be disconnected and unable to organize, because informed minds together are threats. Selling to a US billionaire, will inherently be such a loss for the American people. Because congratulations, the American billionaire superiority complex won, you're less "free" than you were before, oh and that wage gap just grew tenfold.

do y'all remember that tiktoker roblox drama about a sensory game being too inclusive and people making alternatives. hasn't gotten any better I tried to check out one that moved and while just like all the others I went into couldn't make a functioning game that didn't make me crash every time I tried to join, I did see an entire room dedicated to explaining why endo systems and lesbians who fuck around with gender too much are bad and whining about how horrible the original devs are. this would be so much more interesting if I had screenshots but I literally couldn't get them because as I stated they cannot make a functioning game. like no sorry I will not get my opinions on why this minority group is bad from reading a block of text on a roblox game. why are the youth so easily convinced to be hateful

[maybeasunflower]

Key quote:

"the Chinese government is actively silencing the views of Americans who try to criticize that government"

(based on a study by Rutgers University’s Network Contagion Research Institute).

It is revealing that ByteDance would rather voluntarily withdraw from the US market than sell to a third party....

Is It a Comeback?

My wife is telling me that to show my solidarity with TikTok I'm supposed to delete my Facebook account, my Instagram account, and I oughta get rid of Twitter, too, for good measure.

Is this the last sacred social media space for me? I know a bunch of people bounced from this platform once the Draconian (?) restrictions on the type of content *ahem nudity ahem* that could be shared, but judging from my feed not EVERYBODY jumped ship.

Mass reverse exodus to Tumblr?

We'll see if it sticks, but I'm gonna try to use this account for now.

Scared for the future of the world wide web,

Weekly output: AT&T's wireless backup to AT&T's fiber, new Android features, court approves TikTok commercial ban

This year has only two full work weeks left and CES is only four weeks away–and somehow I have yet to get a cold call from a publicist about the annual gadget gathering in Las Vegas. I’m sure that I just jinxed myself with that last statement. 12/2/2024: AT&T Rolls Out Free ‘Internet Backup’ Wireless Service for Fiber Customers, PCMag I’m pretty sure that the only times our Verizon Fios…

[sugiliteshadow]

Agreed.

I understand that you guys are mourning but this kind of censoring just makes it so much hard for people that have blocked the main words.

That being said, if you forget this and use some weird TikTok censor lingo it's okay for one reason:

There is an edit option on your posts

Just hit the little pencil icon and you can switch your lingo for the correct word.

Thank you

tiktok refugees i believe you are few but it is VITAL that you know on tumblr you can speak freely. kill. die. sex. fuck. you can say things here
