That’s okay we’ve all moved to Rednote
Word is the bill includes apps with million+ users would also be banned if data goes to China. Apparently Rednote is literally owned by the China Government so that app will be banned also.

yes so why is the government banning an app without proving criminal wrong doing? they are infringing on americans free speech and right to associate with whom they want.

either we have laws and principles or we don't.

china has never proclaimed a right to free speech nor are they a proponent of free market capitalism. they have a massive censorship apparatus that the u.s clearly wants to emulate and it starts with policies like this.


did you even look at the replies in that thread?

Was the world in the dark about the conflict between Israel and Arab states before 2016 when Tik Tok was founded?

In America’s entire history from its founding to now, “free speech” has never and will never trump National Security concerns.

It will be pointless once the app reaches a million users or whatever the rule is. Folks might as well find a American version of it.

Why doesn't TikTok have the same content on Douyin that the West has? Why do they let brain rot proliferate in the West while keeping it away from their own people?

Make a condition for operation removing the great firewall. If we can't operate freely in their domain, why should we allow them to operate freely in ours?

i'm not on TikTok
What is the benefit of the app?
Does it contribute positively to society?
How?
If you google nothing but porn and how to do drugs then google isn't beneficial to you in a good way. Now if you google health advise, and educational information than it is. Same goes for Tik Tok. You get out of it what you want.
