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.
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
The article is about users deleting the app. You said they could tell who did that by counting how many accounts were deleted. You can’t because those are different things
Ah I see. Well logic is still the same. It would be weird for any app to not be informed from the App Stores how many downloaded and deleted (because of course apple and Google would track those.)
Ahh that makes sense.
This is a good question
Sensor Tower gives pretty good app analytics.
Heh. Thanks for that! Very good read! Opened my eyes a bit!
Yup my a lot of my non-nerd/techy friends are finally starting to do it with tiktok 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. There is hope.
Let it die.
Lie machine needs to die .
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 were 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.
Why aren’t people leaving X too? Also meta socials too?
Good start
People were happy to use the Pet Cemetery version of Tiktok since Elon took office last January… Better late than never I guess.
The tiktok algorithm is what made it valuable, as well as a search function that beats Google in finding and presenting relevant results. I hope upcoming competitors can match it
