TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.

The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.

I don't understand the hype about TikTok anyway. I installed it few weeks ago, and uninstalled few days later because how boring and useless the app is.

I must be old.

    The main thing that TikTok had going for it was it was open to both left and right contact and it would show you exactly the content you are interested in due to there algorithm.

    It being purchased as caused a lot of issues with that feed being laggy and having issues with mostly left wing content spreading what is happening with Ice and stuff.

    But yeah a endless scroll-able system isn't for everyone obviously.

    I don't believe that for a minute. The CCP just had more subtle methods for suppressing content critical of them.

    The owner is Singaporean not Chinese. Also yes there was plenty of content that I have been able to find that is critical of the CCP
