Reports indicate a sharp rise in US users deleting TikTok following the announcement of a deal that secures the app's future in the country. The agreement creates a new US-based entity with majority American ownership, ending years of uncertainty over a potential ban due to data security concerns.
According to CNBC, app analytics data shows deletions have increased significantly in recent days. The deal has been accompanied by changes to terms and conditions, technical issues, and growing debate among users about privacy, censorship, and whether the app feels different to use.
The Guardian is seeking feedback from regular TikTok users and creators on how the ownership changes, updated terms, and political debate have affected their perception and usage of the app. Users are asked whether they have deleted the app, are considering doing so, or have decided to continue using it, and why.
