As the day when TikTok will allegedly be shut down approaches, social media users are sharing alternate apps Americans can download in order to keep access to TikTok and to protest against the ban. Yes, it's as stupid as it sounds.
For American TikTok "refugees", here is a list of Chinese social media substitution apps. pic.twitter.com/eDzpqpE1Ro

This is a really bad idea.
I’d recommend not doing this. https://t.co/GccJwbO6JG

Literally, just send the hackers photos of your credit cards at this point.
Every single one of these apps should be banned in America. https://t.co/LrKczVXbwQ

It's almost like the Chinese won't sell TikTok to an American investor because they really just want to mine data and not they want to convince Americans to join even more of their apps.

Helpful. I hope someone in congress is making a list of new apps to ban. https://t.co/xOyJq53LtU

There's an idea.
It makes me feel like I’m looking at Amazon company names https://t.co/e8hqTMnqNI

I don’t understand. Why would you need to download an entirely new set of apps when you visit China? https://t.co/kJgcnbhnHy

They are so close to getting it.
If you QQ me to hang out but don’t want to split a DiDi with me, I’m never tagging you in a Redbook post or mentioning you on my Bilibili channel ever again. https://t.co/CvAmCqSO4N

It's the 'Great Value' version of apps.
"Yeah if you wanna get spied on like you're a Chinese citizen try these out!"

The Chinese need to be treated as an enemy of America. https://t.co/gE2qTYVopt

Don't give them any ideas.
How do they feel about the Tiananmen Square massacre on those apps?
— Walmart Battle Orc (@ASo1omons) January 14, 2025
That is a banned discussion on those apps.
Wow they even have the Temu version of Temu.

Do they just send you hand drawings of the things you want or do they send you actual crap.
For all the people downloading their apps have a look at their reviews! Y’all have fun getting censored.
