https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/06/politics/trump-executive-order-tiktok/index.html How is TikTok banned technically? DNS poisoning like Turkey, or Great Firewall like China? #TikTok #ban #BreakingNews
I really don’t see this holding up, Trump looped in some big business and a lot of American jobs by extending his vendetta outside of just TikTok. But you never know in 2020, what a wild year
A brave move by Trump. Seems about right. When China can ban US companies from operating in China, why can't USA do that
USA is just a country. It has 5% world population and occupies 2% earth surface. Without soft power, USA would just be another lighter color Mexico with nuclear bombs. Bombs are not as useful as you think. You cannot even get Afghanistan to surrender with your bombs.
Cause TikTok and WeChat did not violate any laws? Google and fb were never banned. They refused to comply with local laws and exited voluntarily. Sigh... people are so ignorant
I wish Trump bans WeChat. The app has 1.2 billion active users. They won’t install anything else just to talk to Americans. They will simply stop talking to Americans. From this day on, whenever anybody wants to influence any Chinese speaking person by quoting any American, that person will simply lol. And this is one way ticket, even if Biden takes this back, the damage is done.
lets not pretend that americans can get away with saying whatever theyd like on wechat lol
American elites in charge today are really not smart.
1. WeChat is still available for download in China or other countries’ App Store 2. US doesn’t have great firewall. It takes years to build one. 3. This requires all ISPs’ to update/upgrade their DNS stuff. It’s non-trivial work. 4. VPN is always an option
I think WeChat will just demand a Chinese phone number and stop serving others. It takes centuries to brainwash foreign people to love your country more than their own. Trump is giving that away for something he cannot even implement. Trump is a Chinese agent. Confirmed.
China has draconian laws to do business there. Asking companies to comply with CCP censorship, can't operate as independent entity (example AWS, needs to partner with other Chinese companies to operate), no respect for IP and involvement in IP theft. Always remember, such things always comes back to bite. China thought it is copycat and kept doing these shady practices but never realized one day it will have its own great product & it will be treated the same way. Good, China getting taste of their medicine.
Right. We never copy things. We only learn. Give me a fking break
Lol. There are people still in denial and think China is great. Do you see US treating any other country like this? Or world treating any other country like this? There is a reason why world turns on China, it needs to stop these shady practices! Apple launches Airpods and Chinese shamelessly make clones because there is no such thing as IP! In no other countries such things happen
Great, someone buy wechat pls. Mocking Xi on wechat is my dream
😅
Taiwan numbah one!
