U.S. Pushes for TikTok Sale to Resolve National Security Concerns
The other thread got flagged by sour ccp. Do you think TikTok will really be banned in the US?

Elon can buy it šš Layoff everyone and start making reels..
does he have money or integrity I should say, to buy any more of these social media companies? haha
I don't know, it kinda looks bad for BD.
I mean they are running their businesses like facebook pre-cambridge analytica. Its a matter of when
Is Facebook really banned in China? Is Snapchat really banned in China? Is Reddit really banned in China? Seriously it doesn't even need to be for security reasons. If you've been paying attention US and China have soured relationships recently.
True, C h i n a has banned so many US owned apps for over 10 years and created their own versions of them. A new non-chinese TikTok will emerge
SCOTUS gonna have to remind these children that the 1st amendment still trumps all regardless of how bad theyāre being beat in the free market
Someone remind this guy under national security reason supreme court cant do anything
Thatās a super naive understanding of the issue. Government canāt just claim ānational security issueā without satisfying some material proof evidentiary standards. Take a read of https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/1134/national-security Basically TikTok is going to do anything short of selling to satisfy national security requirements and call the administrationās bluff. Unless SCOTUS wants to establish the precedent that any foreign investor presence is de jure a national security issue, justice department will have a big uphill battle to show this is a national security issue and not a economic protectionism one
I keep saying it, but this is all really just political theater. Iāve worked at two large Bay Area tech companies each with a large number of employees in China who had production access. In both cases there was plenty of PII data. Neither of those companies is being targeted, nor the likely dozens or 100s of other companies with China-based employees.
0 chance to happen. Proof: Trump failed and lost his jobš
