https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/01/tiktoks-potential-ban-in-us-could-be-boon-for-meta-and-snap.html Apparently it is finally happening - some CCP spokesperson commented it is not fair to do so, but someone should remind them Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, many Google products are already banned in China - so it was never a fair competition to begin with. What do you think? Should TikTok be banned in the US?
If he wants to lose votes from teens…
What about free speech?
nothing happening to free speech. you can still voice your opinions in other media , hold a placard on the streets, talk to people etc .
That’s funny. Don’t you libs usually love saying “free speech only applies to the government not a private company”? The government isn’t censoring anything.
Ban the shit outta them. Ban their moms and wives
Why it isn’t completely banned in the world outside of China is beyond me
Because the rest of the world still wants to have free speech. Because the rest of the world still values good relations with China to have cheap products. Because the Chinese are deeply invested in SP500 and if they sell everything you won’t even have money to buy new underwear.
I forgot that Chinese own a big share of American bonds too.
Don’t understand what you have against TikTok, what you see there is just a mirror of the society where it is used. If Americans prefer less serious topics like twerking, that’s what you are gonna see. It is not TikTok’s fault. Why the whole world should trust Facebook for data protection instead of TikTok? Then let’s close Facebook, Twitter and TikTok.
CCP is the big brother here - TikTok wouldn’t be here today if high ups in the CCP were not deeply involved
Will not happen. It's unconstitutional
Says president Xi?
You’re unconstitutional
It will happen. China does it to western social media companies anyway. Boohoo no more music videos for Xi
Yawn they tried it during trump era and now biden era
Difference is libs are ok with it now that Trump isn’t in office. Just like the border crisis, China trade war, and everything else Biden kept from Trump’s administration.
All Dems voted against the bill
Won’t happen cry more
When they ban your apps, you say it’s against free market. When you ban their apps, you say it’s about privacy and security.
It is a two way street my friend - you cannot have double standards
