UPDATE 1/20: TRUMP EXECUTIVE ORDER: SELL TIKTOK TO US OR WE'RE TARIFFING CHINA. You have 75 days!!!!

[HoldThisL]

Tax cuts, deregulation, government subsidies, you name it. Trump is powerfully corrupt, and incredibly susceptible to influence and bribery.

So what this basically means is everyone sees Trump as a clown and he is being played to get what they want.

Being controlled by China is good or better?

Being controlled by china is far better.

1. The only reason TikTok is banned is because they allowed pro-Palestinian content that displayed the horrors of the Israeli genocide that American controlled platforms tried to cover up. You think banning a platform that wants to show the horrors of genocide is a bad thing?

2. Twitter is owned by a full-blown white supremacist Elon musk who is pro-china and pro-Russia. The next largest investor is a Saudi Arabian prince who is tied to the assassination of American journalist Jamal khashoggi. Not to mention the worst terrorist attack in US history was committed by terrorists from Saudi Arabia. If any app should be banned for security purposes, it’s twitter.

 

[Seoul Gleou]

TikTok is known in China as Douyin (which came before TikTok and is also owned by ByteDance).

The reason why the international TikTok is "banned" in China is because the Chinese government doesn't want their citizens to be able to directly interact online with Westerners and other foreigners. China has it's own social media bubble of apps for this reason.

So you're making the argument for why it isn't the same app and hence not "Chinese".

You conveniently ignored the long response I had to this and the Meta comparison.

If your argument is that it's foreign, then you might as well buy only American and bush the device you're using. Almost everything on or around you is Chinese by this logic.

You should also be ringing alarms for the large swathes of land that China owns in America.

I didn't need to read anything beyond this.

Twitter and Tik Tok were the best apps. Goofy cacs ruined them both

Not to mention the world as we know it.

I am against the wrong practices of Meta AND I'm against the wrong practices of Chinese companies.

That makes perfect sense

ok Tom Cotton

go back to work

Why are you fine or "don't care" with the Chinese government having your data?

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

"It's a stunt to make Trump look good"

WHO ALLOWED IT TO GET THIS FAR?

Why not just quote who you're talking to?

 

[King Static X]

That makes perfect sense

Yes, because fukk the Chinese government.

You bring up Elon Musk (fukk him too) but yet handwave the Chinese government. Why?

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

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.

so ... We gonna take look at Google?
