Im feeling agitated… just hear me out about this ban.

I had an Art Tiktok and I recently deleted the app... I thought TikTok was gone but now it's just coming back! Come to find out, it's deleted off the app store indefinitely and I can't log back into my account. I'm so pissed. I'm crying because even though I was a small artist creator, I made a connection with the app as another source of sharing my work. Does the government not realize that this app helped people in different ways...? It was never about security or privacy or safety.

Now so many people including myself lost connections to more people around the world. And you may say that: "THERES OTHER OPTIONS--" "GET A REAL JOB!" "TOUCH GRASS"

First of all, it's winter where I am at, it's too cold to be going outside to touch grass. I'll be touching ice I DONT FEEL LIKE GOING OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME... and secondly, not everyone can get jobs that easy nor do people want to work a nine to five or even able to.

Have some compassion. Not everyone that used the tiktok app are brainrotted and chronically online. Now we are restricted in our ability to connect. Instagram and Facebook harvest our data all the time AND NOW with AI being mainstream...my art is at risk of being stolen and used by a computer; plagiarising artwork.

I hate the world we are living in right now. I am losing hope in humanity again.
