Gonna be a lot of pissed off teenagers but this shouldn’t affect anyones life over the age of 20 because if you’re an adult on TikTok you got some serious issues.

Gonna be really funny watching soft arse Gen Z melt over this though, finally being told no for the first time in their life.

That said, it’s a valid question to ask if the president has the ability to ban an app that people put on their personal phones. Seems like an overreach and a reaction from Trump because TikTokers fricked his rallies. I also can’t bring myself to care at all. If he does, something identical to it will pop up within 2 months.

There’s a giant slippery slope when we start letting the government and even worse any president dictate what we can and can’t use on our own phones because of “national security.”


So you have a problem with this specific “overreach” but don’t have any problem with censorship on similar platforms?

Don’t recall you chiming in with similar concern in any of the other threads. At least be consistent.

Are you up to date on this issue at all? Numerous security officials have recommended taking action against tiktok. Multiple european nations and asian nations have banned its usage. THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN BANNED IT AMONG ITS MEMBERS. Every single branch of our military has recommended banning it

Are you under the impression that this is some random trump thing?

Notable from article:

For all the talk, there is no solid proof that TikTok sends any data to China, there is no solid proof that any information is pulled from users’ devices over and above the prying data grabs typical of all social media platforms.

Several countries don't agree with that.

President announces unilateral ban on one private business with no check or balance. Conservatives rejoice. What a world we live in.

Tons of articles on the Net about this.

Of course some msm outlets are going to do chinas bidding and say “no definitive proof” like they do with everything they oppose.

Just as they are doing now with mail in voting.

SOLD to Microsoft. Will probably lead to a 500% increase in Microsoft in the next week.

What a bunch of idiots. Are they sending mutant causing rays from chinese electronics? All Chinese restaurants are putting slow acting poisons in their food too I guess.

Ask for a link. That usually sets them into a rabid frenzy.

This is not free market capitalism. The Govt shouldn’t decide who can and cannot do business in the US.

If people are worried about spying then they won’t use the app. Let the market decide
