Apparently the TikTok block on US users isn’t just IP based - they’re also looking at account data, so a VPN won’t help circumvent it. You’d need a completely new a/c that’s not US based. Possibly on a different device #tiktok

This week's net.wars, "Banning TikTok" watches two US presidents go from "Oh my God! The kids are using *TikTok*!" to "Oh, my God! The kids are *using* TikTok!": https://netwars.pelicancrossing.net/2025/01/17/banning-tiktok/ #NetWars #SocialMedia #TikTok #FreeSpeech
This? This is what gets people to act?
Fair wages? Voting rights? A woman’s bodily autonomy? Marriage equality? Healthcare? Saving democracy?
Nope.
Just a foreign adversary’s spyware filled with interpretive dance about an ayahuasca trip followed by political disinfo
We’re not gonna make it
"Cute winter boots" is one of the code phrases being used on TikTok to alert people to ICE (U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement) sightings following last week's announcement on the start of mass deportations.

Welcome to Vivaldi Social, Mastodon and the Fediverse.
If you are coming from a place like X, Facebook or TikTok, this place is different. The good thing is that you only see things in your feed from people you follow. The content is shown reverse chronological.
This means that you will likely see a lot less misinformation, hate speech and AI crap.
But if you do not follow anyone, your feed will feel empty. So go ahead and find people and organizations that you like and follow them. Make things interesting. There is a lot of interesting people out there.
The search is great for finding content and who to follow. Hashtags are useful when searching as well.

📣 Happy #GlobalSwitchDay to all the brave frontrunners out there!
For whom February 1st came a little too soon, don't worry! Just try again on March 1st and celebrate Zero Discrimination Day in the beautiful #fediverse. Alternatively, you can switch on April 1st, as only fools stay behind ;) or join your friends on May 1st and put your ideals to work.

#BAN AND #BOYCOTT #TIKTOK AND #YOUTUBE! XXX RATED PLATFORM MATERIAL. 👙 💈
🎮 Is #TikTok Safe for #Kids? Short Answer?
🥊 BAN YOUTUBE! and TIKTOK #NOT_SAFE FOR THE #MENTAL_HEALTH OF #CHILDREN.
🥊 #FATHER OF 4 | 3 GIRLS | 1 BOY. (since #MY_SPACE)
🎮 #Parental_Controls are USELESS. #Hollywood is DEAD ⚰️ and now we are all left with UNEMPLOYED ACTORS, CELEBRITIES AND ENTERTAINERS who are just a bunch of #ATTENTION_WHORES #ADDICTED TO RECOGNITION and the 🔦 SPOT LIGHT
ADDICTIONS ADDICTIONS AND #MORE_ADDICTIONS all promoted by #bigtech Platforms (Jewish Owned) for the last 2 decades 🧠 #BRAINWASHING OUR CHILDREN with XXX garbage on Public forums like TikTok and Youtube no less???
BY DISGUSTING 🇮🇱 ASKENAZI JEWS!🐍
~THE #JEWS ARE #HOMELESS AND NOW SO ARE YOU!~
Is TikTok parental controls Safe for Kids?
~SHORT ANSWER is NO; IT IS NOT SAFE; even with parental controls~
Parental Controls have never worked. They are smoke 💨 screens. All kids are way smarter than they were 20 years ago and can circumvent any so-called Parental controls easily.
The kids actually Laugh at the CONTROL PART..😄 🤣 😆
Basically the Ashkenazi Jews transferred the #XXX MONITORING responsibility FROM the 🇮🇱 JEWISH PLATFORM OWNERS TO THE #PARENTS ..
(Like as if the Parents don't already have enough on their plates with this Man-Made #INFLATION??)
..while they #poisoned 🦂 OUR #public_schools 🏫 with #LGBTQ #FETISHES and DISGUSTING HOMOSEXUALITY! >> SIN AS A LIFESTYLE. 👹 🚔
Basically SELFISH, SELF CENTEREDNESS, SELF-SEEKING, SELF GLORIFICATION, SELF ADMIRATION, SELF ADORATION AKA #FREAKS! #KINKTERS AND #PERVERTS!
Live and let live or die promoting this garbage to our children who DONOT have the mental capacity or coping SKILLS to process such disgusting and shocking information at such young ages..
🚔 YOUTUBE AND 🚔 TIKTOK ARE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR #EXPOSING XXX MATERIAL TO OUR CHILDREN.
#Youtube.. unrestrained for the last 2 decades.
START YOUR FINES 🤑 THERE. The Platform must regulate themselves for XXX material not the Parents.
Not different than #PORN_HUB (Whom IMHO is the #LEADER in the #RESPONSIBILITY of #protecting underaged children minds. Even though we do not support the promotion of ONLINE #PORNOGRAPHY.
But we do 💞 LOVE Pretty Women;) :) 🌹
TIKTOK and YOUTUBE should be RATED AT THE VERY LEAST #RESTRICTED imho>> XXX for its content!
So what is the real problem here? #GREED! You cannot offer everything to everyone ALL OF THE TIME. Especially on General Public Social Network Platforms such as TikTok and Youtube.
In this video, we are sharing the Parental Controls Guide to Safety on TikTok.
AKA useless imho.

In #Memory of #George_Floyd ✝️ (October 14, 1973 – May 25, 2020) was an African American man who was murdered by a white police officer in Minneapolis,
The 🇮🇱 Devil is in the 🇱🇷 Details.. WHAT DOES THAT #MEAN?? 🐍
AND WHAT IS #FINANCIAL #Hannibal_Directive??
Lets ask the recently deceased #knee_on_neck Murder Victim BY OUR OWN POLICE DEPT 🚔 for $20 alleged FAKE BUCKS shall we? 💵
WHO PAYS #TAXES in THIS COUNTRY? ANSWER? #ELITES AND #BIGTECH #WALMART, #AMAZON PAYING #ZERO IN #TAXES
FEDS NEED TO KEEP ITS FOOT ON INFLATION'S NECK bc if this Government cannot get you to pay your taxes, if any, they will #inflate the #economy by 30% in order to #TAKE TAXES FROM YOU WHEN YOU BUY #FOOD, PAY #RENT, #mortgage, BUY A #CAR ETC. ETC ETC.
That's right every time you buy food you are paying a 30-40% #markup.
That's #FORCED #INCOME_TAX Folks OF another name CALLED #INFLATION!
All Americans are PAYING AT LEAST 30% IN INCOME TAX AND THEY DONT KNOW IT?
(AKA TRUTH) Remember LAZY ASS #LOSER_CHUMP wanted to apply a 30% take on #TikTok #ACQUISITION.
#TRUMP THE #LAZY_LOSER TRYING TO #ROB THE #STAGE_COACH on its way into town >> AND WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT #ENDS??
This country will not see one penny more than there fair share of taxes. NOT #ONE_PENNY MORE!
It's in the FEDS BEST INTEREST to #PRINT MORE #MONEY to #INCREASE INFLATION NOT LOWER IT! or else the #Value of the USD dollar #WILL_COLLAPSE and GREEDY INEPT #OIL_Tycoons #DIRT_BAGS (AKA #ZIONIST_NAZI'S) benefit when the dollar COLLAPSES..
The feds need to keep raising inflation by printing money and then buffer the impact by 25 to 100 basis points FOREVER..
. in order to COLLECT the income taxes REQUIRED to run this country.
#Kicking the #can FURTHER down the #road is the only way the USA Government can now COLLECT TAXES from its Citizens.
AND That my friends is a SURE SIGN OF A #FAILED_REGIME.
Unless you are a w-2 employee (AKA GOVERNMENT OR FORTUNE 500 #SLAVE!) -- but most are now #self_employed. All of WE THE PEOPLES MONEY HAS BEEN #ROBBED, #SPENT, #PILLAGED while this Israeli regime murder's its own citizens.. gone!
aka #FINANCIAL #Hannibal_Directive.
AND THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS WHEN the "FEDS SAYS." IT #NEEDS TO KEEP ITS #FOOT ON #INFLATION'S_NECK??
Who would have known what #George_Floyds death would actually #SPARK!?;)

[a very well-written article with a favorable yet realistic angle on the #Fediverse]
"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."

Yesterday, *they* forced one of the world’s most followed #TikTok and #Instagram users (#KhabyLame) to self deport because he flew into Vegas for an event, and his Italian visa was expired by 2 days. So they denied entrance, and gave him the option to immediately self deport. He did.
The kids (under 25) are LIVID. The reaction is intense. Moreso than the reaction to LA. This is going to be the issue that wakes them up to how severe the situation really is.
President Trump delays TikTok ban for third time, giving 90 days for a deal to be struck with American owner. @AssociatedPress reports:
My life among the normies since the fall of Syria:
"Where are you from?"
"Syria."
"Oh I heard you guys are having democracy now."
"We have un-elected AlQaeda terrorist as a president."
"But he isn't a terrorist anymore right?"
"No he's still a terrorist."

Loops is the ethical TikTok alternative the fediverse needs.
Unique safety features, mental health protections, and user controls you've never seen before.
