TikTok Ban: The Reality Behind the January 18th Deadline

[@Notmeunknown123]

What’s crazy is tik tok got banned before OnlyFans

[@largeman5788]

TikTok banned before the hub 😭

[@johnny_bop]

Buddy what

[@_InFocus]

@largeman5788hubs actually banned in a few states if you are not of age

[@Block66h]

[@SpikedCollar666]

Okay but if U.S. companies are allowed to sell our data to whoever they want then why does it matter?

[@CVCISME]

Exactly

[@thereindeertherabbitthebat592]

US data brokers can easily and legally sell limitless amounts of US citizens' data to China. This dude is a joke.

[@shaylaahava6413]

If there was a US version of TikTok, there should/ would most definitely be a clause not to release or sell data to any other source.

[@wawa_fr]

Would rather have the Chinese have information about you or people who want to sell you socks

[@madmadmal]

Collecting data on girls dancing is a national security issue then we are all fucked.

The man was from Singapore. I'm not okay with "America" trying to take his app and make it theirs. They kept asking him if he was from China and he said no. He's from Singapore and his children are born and raised in America.

[@etz8360]

On the surface level it can seem this way, and I'm sure if it were any other country America wouldn't mind. But the app is based in China, where the government can completely control the company whenever they please. This means being able to access your data and weaponize it. I'm sure the CEO is a good guy, he really seems level headed and is trying, but we're talking about tiktok, not him.

[@MoorenaEl]

Wrong, it does violate free speech because if it's sold to an American company they can tell the American company to take down certain videos. Which is what Zuck said in an interview.

[@calebherrera2467]

Its a private owned app free speech never existed not here nor any social media app there will always be censorship. Tiktok already violates free speech banning or shadow banning certain topics about china. Since its privately own it doesnt violet anything since YOU agreed to the terms of service.

[@CVCISME]

It’s not about national security it’s about money and power which is all our government cares about.

[@PuzzleGames-c5x]

I will say tho money is not going to be a huge benefit I believe. I do think, China, is of course powerful and could force heavy punishments and threaten the owners of TikTok to leak Citizen information. Therefore it’s not completely about the money. It IS about security to some degree.

[@King_of_69s]

It quite literally is a security threat for multiple reasons

FOR NOW THEY SAID

[@calebomega3824]

It's about the fact that you can't radicalize people against foreign nations when they can share information with each other so freely. TikTok makes it exceedingly difficult to get to affect the youth with propaganda like they did to the boomers in the 40s, 50s, and 60s.

[@MakeB711]

And yet, it makes it very easy for foreign nations to radicalize people against their own country and culture… just as people woke up to the hijacking of the school system by chin- I mean communist ideology, Tiktok comes along to become an endless eco chamber of how the most prosperous and free country on Earth is somehow very terrible.
