Tiktok is Back! / myLot

I am sure a lot of people in the US are relieved. I wonder if this is permanent. The shortlived ban is reminiscent of the temporary martial law in Korea last month. I was speechless when the Korean president announced martial in the late evening. It was like the memories of the People Power revolution washed over me. It was like a replay of events. I somewhat panicked. Then all of a sudden, a few hours later the president lifted the martial law. What the heck! This political turmoil caused a roller coaster of emotions for the citizens.

It would have been restrictive to ordinary citizens if it hadn't been lifted.

I’ve never even been on TikTok. I just can’t bring myself to care at all.

I had three videos on TikTok that were recorded in 2021. But I am not into Tiktok.I did it just for fun.

Is it banned also in South Korea? The news of martial law there caught a lot by surprise. I wonder what he was thinking back then to come up with such action
