00:01TikTok users in the U.S. have been deleting the social media app at a sharply higher
00:05rate following the company's announcement that its U.S. operations will move into a
00:09new joint venture.
00:11App uninstalls jumped nearly 150 percent compared with recent averages, driven by user skepticism,
00:17privacy concerns tied to an updated policy, and reports of technical issues.
00:22While the controversial data collection language is not new, confusion and limited communication
00:28with creators have fueled anxiety and social media backlash.
00:32Despite the surge in deletions, TikTok's overall U.S. usage has remained steady even as rival
00:37platforms see a surge in downloads.
