I mean hopefully its banned, 100%. It's obviously a Chinese ran company using all data to spy on users. I can legit say Ive NEVER signed up/used tiktok.

Same. I refused to from day one. Wouldn’t mind seeing it banned although Trump came out against it so I’m open to either outcome.

This bill will be used to force Elon to sell Twitter, and other pretty bad things. Not a good bill, as bad as tiktok is for the US

Just like the border bill the devil is in the details.

For those that don't go to R&P there is a pretty good thread about it already. It sounds like it is a Trojan horse.

Irony of using bill banning TikTok cuz of china to turn us into china is through the roof

Someone’s got a grade A sense of humor.

Good riddance

It doesn’t guarantee removal though, it just needs to be entirely owned domestically.

Do people really think it's about protecting American user data?

Your data, including location data from your cell phone tower pings, is for sale by American companies legally (they'll even sell it to the Chinese) and Congress hasn't done ANYTHING about it.

This is about controlling speech.

Exactly.

LOL @ believing the same government doing nothing about the border, suppressing free speech domestically, rotting your kids brains via the miseducation system is all of a sudden urgently working to protect you from the dangerous scary Chinese app.

Every single American online company is spying on their users. And it's going to the American government, which could actually pose a threat to Americans living in America. And you don't have a problem with that? You're worried about some ****** on the other side of the globe looking at your data instead?

When is the ban for Instagram and dating apps set for? That's right never.

Truth be told banning TikTok won't solve anything. Even if they did another would pop up in it's place that wouldn't get banned. You can say Chinese use to spy blah blah but the real damage is just the simple interaction of social media. China doesn't even need to spy with it for it to be destructive lol

What would all the sloots do if this happened?

Part of the problem is surely the algorithms too, you see the same garbage on Twitter because putting controversial stuff in front of people is what increases engagement and there’s financial incentive behind it.

I troll Twitter every now and then and see chit on my feed and have no idea why the garbage shows up for me, that doesn’t happen on YouTube
