The US ban on TikTok will fail, understanding most young Internet users know about VPNs, allowing them to login from Europe.

[@giganigga9624]

60% of morons on TikTok won’t get through vpn I guarantee you

Bots : ban TikTok Also same bots : using KZbin

[@DvynRv6hn]

Please Ban it

[@matrex187]

Many TikTok users might move to platforms like KZbin or Facebook, but those who promote misinformation or inappropriate content won't last long-they'll be banned quickly. Platforms generally have stricter content policies, so those who spread nonsense may find it harder to maintain their presence.

[@Catloverplayer]

KZbin serves the same purpose.

[@Lilpeanut9]

KZbin has heavy censorship. They delete comments and shadowban many.

😂US now stealing enterprises in broad daylight. Zero dignity and mortal standing. Tik Tok should shutdown operation in US if forced to sell illegally. Hope Tik Tok founder can do the right thing. When US cannot beats China fairly, uses lowlife tactics such as sanction and gotten Canada to detain Huawei CFO illegally (tried to use the same tactic as how US destroyed French's Alstom). US just want to contain China progress by all means. which includes spreading lies, disinformation, false accusations, implementing sanction and ganging other countries to suppress China progress etc. US has lost their dignity in front of the world to see. US accelerates their own decline. Pretty stupid to me.

You can't have a newspaper or a TV news station not owned by a US company. So why can you have the number one news platform in America today which is tick tock be owned by a company that doesn't belong to the US.

[@NattyNarwhaal]

You can, in fact, have TV stations and newspapers not owned by American companies. WTF are you talking about?

[@theblackenedphoenix]

And only 5 companies own every news outlet. This is exactly why they want TikTiok. This way they can control what information is shared on the platform.

[@AWesker99]

Al Jazeera is owned by Qatar. RT is owned by Russia. China owns AMC movie theaters and Legendary Entertainment Group. China also has financial interests in ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and Disney. 99.9% of everything you will ever read, watch, or hear is already compromised by the CCP.

[@xocomaox]

​@@theblackenedphoenixthat's just a conspiracy theory. They're far more interested in the data mined from the users.
