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 daily average of U.S. users deleting the TikTok app has increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.
Some users took to social media to voice their skepticism about the new joint venture after being prompted to agree to an updated privacy policy on Thursday.

If Trump stepped in to save Tik Tok then you know he’s making money off of some sort of nefarious bullshit.
They’re and we’re collecting info on gender, race and religion. Lots of info for Trump and his Maga buddies.
why have it if they do censorship, you can’t even talk about the Epstein list anymore.
Yup my a lot of my non-nerd/techy friends are finally starting to do it and on top of that they are starting to care a sliver more about their privacy.
The distrust of tiktok, meta, and google is growing.
Let it die.
Where do they get the publicly available account deletion stats?
I think Tik Tok is required to record those numbers and share them with shareholders as such data would tell one they are worth investing or not.
Really? So there are databases of these numbers for all companies? Or is this unique to TikTok?
All the companies I would imagine. And it’s not information hard to record. After all it’s just Tiktok looking at how many accounts they have and then saying how many deleted
But deleting your account is not the same as deleting the app. You can do either without the other
Sure? I don’t know what I wrote implied I was saying app as I didn’t use that word whatsoever
Ahh that makes sense.
This is a good question
Sensor Tower gives pretty good app analytics.
Lie machine needs to die .
UpScrolled looks like a promising alternative.
promising alternative
We already have an alternative, and its on the fediverse. Its called loops and it doesn’t include proprietary garbage.
Another proprietary, singularly-owned platform vulnerable to hostile takeovers by wealthy propagandists?
I really hope Dansup is still putting in some work on Loops. This would really be a great time.
As a loops user, I find it a decent alternative to TicToc. It just doesn’t have that much content on it as compared to TicToc.
That was predictable.
China doesn’t care, it’s done its job and then some.
