There are a couple of Indian apps[0] trying to replicate Tiktok functionality. Many of them saw a surge in usage after Tiktok got banned. Not sure about the current numbers though.

The issue there was collection of massive amounts of public data by Facebook. Open data APIs can be used to build nice things, if the data isn't user information.

The difference is that if you choose to go to any URL, you can (not considering device capability and support; flash etc) from any of your devices. And what you pay to go to one website is the same amount that you pay to go to a different website as long as you use the same amount of data. Data rates being different across networks is a different issue.

Wow! That far? I feel sad. Kurzweil had me hopeful that I'd be able to use it in next 30 years.

With all due respect, being somewhat of a privacy and security freak (although I use social networks etc.), all I can read while going through the article is a crybaby whining about how it is harder than before to get user data.
The article makes an assumption that the warrants and the snooping is only done in legal and genuine cases, which has been continuously been proved wrong lately. Not to mention all the secret courts, FISA orders etc

I think http://www.reddit.com/r/brokengifs collects such things.

Can someone open it in IE and confirm whether it works better than on other browsers? That'd be a first.

Nothing fancy, just a bouncing ball in canvas that follows the laws of gravity and elasticity.
