Toot

This is what the TikTok ban (in this case CapCut, another Bytedance app that's collateral damage) looks like in app stores like Google Play. For those of you calling the temporary blackout a "stunt" by TikTok, that's not TikTok's doing - it's Google's.

A sobering reminder that app stores enable turnkey censorship for governments.

On Android you can at least install alternative app stores after ignoring some scary security warnings. On iOS in the US, you must put your faith in Apple alone.
