TikTok is reportedly planning a total shutdown when the Congressional law requiring a ban or sale of the video-sharing app takes effect.
TikTok is reportedly planning a total shutdown of the Chinese-owned video-sharing app when the law requiring a ban or sale of the app takes effect on Sunday.
The roughly 170 million US users who try to access the app will be greeted with a pop-up message directing them to a website with details about the ban, according to the Information.
Users will also be given the option of downloading their data from the app, sources familiar with the plan told the outlet.
I don’t know about twitter, but its very easy to download all of your data from Facebook. I did it yesterday in preparation for closing my account. Account->Settings&Privacy->Your Information->Download Your Information.

That’s nice of them. I bet Facebook and Twitter wouldn’t do that.

That is a bit harder than “click here to download” on the front page.
You are the best kind of correct.
Pretty sure they’re both required to do that by law. I’ve downloaded all my Facebook data a few times
True, but I doubt they’d put the effort into making it easy for someone to download it in the message.
