What the U.S. Can Learn From India’s TikTok Ban | WSJ

Congress is considering banning TikTok, the Chinese-owned social media app that millions of Americans use daily. But the U.S. wouldn’t be the first country to ban the app - India banned TikTok in 2020. One of the main reasons for the ban in both India and the U.S. stems from TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance.
WSJ breaks down TikTok bans and how they work in practice.

Due to his foolish decision to rely on the UN to solve the issue, the Indian army could not conquer a portion of Pakistan (which is today known as POK).

I've said it before and I will say it again: I'm fine with us banning tiktok or forcing it to come to US soil, with a single caveat. We need to address privacy violations of apps that are US based too. Meta selling data that ends up in the hands of foreign governments is still happening, and is a much bigger risk than tiktok is. It's kinda gross to be obsessed with the chinese company but not say anything about our own.

[@mikekane2492]

I agree in principle, but the idea the US and Chinese governments are on equal footing with how data is used is wrong. While not perfect, actually far from it, the west does have a lot more bureaucracy and red tape than China. They just aren’t symmetrical cases where it’s hypocritical that one faces bans.

[@user-br1xp7mu6i]

but if chosing between the lesser evil goes, what will you chose ?

[@sterlingmarshel6299]

That's not what the ban is about. Pro Isareal PACS are funding both parties to push the ban. Why? Because the people under 30 are the generation that sees the "conflict" for what it is - one-way extermination. Congress has the power to get this vote done in four days but can't agree on affordable healthcare or a border policy? Hmmm AIPAC has lost its PR power because TikTok shows the reality of the one-way "war". They can't curate the social media feed like they can with American-based social media. Biden is not strong enough to put conditions on our taxpayer money being used indiscriminately to bomb Palestine. We pay for bombs and then send aid to Palestinians to clear our conscience. This is a bigger issue than banning TikTok, which by the way, all the data is partitioned in servers (Oracle) in Texas, which happened during the Trump Administration. Plus there is zero evidence of Chinese using the data, which again is monitored by U.S tech.

[@someonetooknuggets]

Nah, tiktok is still a far greater risk than meta. Tiktok in china is a lot different compared to the rest of the world, they themselves designed it that way with the influence of their government.

Yes, Tik tok could theoretically be asked to give data to Chinese government, but Meta, Twitter and Google already give data to US government and other foreign governments. Data misuse is not the concern of law makers, if it was, they would have passed data privacy laws with this bill.

One rule for us, another for them

[@adamswanson9601]

Thank god I though I was the only person in America with a brain, if they cared about your privacy they would have made it a law that companies cannot harvest or sell user data this is all about money because a lot of these politicians and republicans have millions of dollars in shares/stock and just want to kick out another competitor so they can make more money.

[@NotKimiRaikkonen]

American companies giving American information to the American government ≠ Chinese companies giving American information to Chinese government Why do you think China bans American social media? It's the same thing.

Dejavu, this is exactly the situation in Vietnam 10 years ago. But at that time, Vietnam was the US now, banning Facebook of the US with the exact same reasons. The US, and of course myself, criticized the Vietnamese government for the violation of freedom of speech.

[@BadassBoyz633]

First Correct the map of India in your video, then talk about it! 🙄

[@sunitmmm]

it's a charted territory, once a ban is in place, two things will come to effect, first. You cannot find tik Tok on app stores & play store if your country is set as United States on your iTunes or play store, it doesn't matter if you are using vpn or travelling abroad. second. Internet service provider will be required to block access to tik tok ip addresses and apps also use ip address to reach out to server so you cannot see tik tok, cannot log into tik tok however if you use VPN you will be able to access tik tok web and app considering you didn't uninstall the app in the first place.

Another aspect of why it is so difficult for the US to ban an application that India could do so easily is because as also mentioned in the video, US has a very strong free speech rights. In a democracy, the government voted by the people cannot just ban an application if the same people find it illogical and unreasonable. The government has to find alternatives, it can't ban applications with just a day's notice.

[@greywolf7577]

Does this mean that India doesn't have strong free speech rights? Shouldn't this be seen as a problem?

[@yongboxandmin]

​@@greywolf7577 bcz of modi. also in 2024, if modi comes again, a new broadcast bill will pass in india, meaning every youtube video, blog etc that speaks negative (or oppose) the govt will be taken down and the person making it will be arrested. so we're not a democracy anymore. it's a dictatorship. just like how north korea calls themselves DPRK but no democracy is seen.

I want to ban this Map and propaganda associated with it. There is a law. Geospatial Information Regulation Bill, 2016 states: “Whoever depicts, disseminates, publishes or distributes any wrong or false topographic information of India including international boundaries in contravention of section 6, shall be punished with a fine ranging from Rupees ten lac to Rupees one hundred crore. This is applicable for foreign entities also. Please correct the Map.
