“The [TikTok] app’s U.S. acquisition prompted several users to quit the platform outright and switch to a new app called UpScrolled.
“But for activists like Jamira Burley [Leading with Conviction™ 2015], TikTok feels like ‘a trap door’ where she doesn’t feel her ‘work or safety is protected.’
Our communities are bigger than any one app.
“‘When tech giants, wealthy investors, and political pressure start making the rules, you already know whose voices are silenced first,’ Burley wrote on her Substack. ‘Spoiler alert: it’s not the ones with power. It’s the people using their voices to name harm, imagine better systems, and challenge the world to do better.’
“Burley specified that those most affected by TikTok’s new Terms of Service would be ‘Black folks. Queer folks. Disabled folks. Poor folks. Truth-tellers. Organizers. Artists.’
“Her message echoes that of several creatives and users who’ve left the app in recent days: ‘Our communities are bigger than any one app,’ she wrote. ‘We can bring that magic somewhere else. Somewhere slower, more intentional, and built on care instead of clout.’”
