    American phones were geolocated and TikTok users were locked out of the platform until they called their members of Congress.

    Holy shit. Is that true?

    They should be banned today if that’s real.

          Common fucking sense. There’s no technical mechanism they could use to lock you out of the app until they confirmed you made a phone call. How did all these grandpa’s get here?

      If it were true yeah. In reality they are just shitting themselves because people on TikTok are broadcasting the genocide funded by US tax dollars and literally using American made bombs
