WHAT am saying is that why will the USA allowed a app that it's version is not acceptable in the host country China.

Why not? China has different rules, therefore they require a different app. Simple.

This might affect Joe Biden's popularity rating among the young Democrats.

Well TikTok will likely sell to another company to avoid a total exit from the US market.
can joe biden control the legislature

Smart guy tell us the rules?
WHAT rules, ?
Tell any other forgien app that are not America owned functioning in China,
The reason is simple the Chinese don't want a forgien app to hold its citizens data period.
There was no rules

The India government statement on the banning of tiktok

"The Indian government said the decision to ban the apps was "to protect the data and privacy of its 1.3 billion citizens" and to put a stop to technology that was "stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users' data in unauthorized servers outside India".

You can look the statement up.

Their own rules. Like censoring certain types of information when requested. China is a sovereign nation remember? And keeping data of its citizens in China.

With regards american apps in china, list is too long to complete: Windows, Android, iOS, MacOS, UNIX, MS Teams, IE, Edge, MS office, OneDrive, Firefox, Acrobat reader, Teamviewer, Oracle, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Winzip, WinRAR, most open source software, and most games, etc.

As for the Indian government statement, that was the excuse they gave. Everyone knows tik tok and other Chinese apps got banned after the border dispute they had with China.

Chinese government doesn't even allow this TikTok version in China. Also Chinese government banned Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram and other foreign social media in China. So what is the fuss about?
yeah I agree with u. Him lambasting USA for something china are popular for just doesn't make sense.
Re: US House Of Reps Votes To Ban TikTok in US by Thonee(m): 10:07pm On Mar 13
Good move because China started first by banning other social media platforms like FB, Instagram etc.

No be news be this nah ..... American has been kicking against TikTok for like 5yrs now since Donald Trump Era ...... everyone in this earth 🌍 knows TikTok extradites information from your phones ......... Except zombies Tinibu 💊 dumb ass followers don't know
Y'all should just shut up if you don't know what to say. Ha! so because US said it, it automatically means it's true? Do you even know the volume of data Facebook and Google extracts from your phones?

They dint ban it cos its American....they banned it cos of its content ...its full of corrupting and brainwashing.... can't u see that since social media, we lost our morals in this country

I watch videos on tiktok a lot. Most of the content I'm shown is nature documentaries. Tiktok's algorithm shows you videos based on the type of videos you like. If you're seeing videos of dancing ladies, you need to ask yourself some questions.

Ignore all these nonsense excuses the US is giving, the reason they're attacking tiktok is the same reason they attacked Huawei; they're trying every way possible to reduce China's dominance. If tiktok was a US-owned company you won't see US attack them this way

I disagree, I used to believe this as well.

The algorithm works well.

Ensure you watch only short videos on what interest you or adds value to you. You can search for what interest you to avoid time wasting.

The moment a "nonsense" abi "mumu" video pops up...in 2 to 5 seconds move to the next, do this for a couple of minutes, its algorithm will automatically prevent similar videos from coming to you again.

Similar videos to those you love watching will now be lined up for you. You will be amazed when you do this.

You need to ensure you do this everytime you open your TikTok.

They have some good reasons sha after all other apps are banned in China and i can even trust the chinese govt because they can easily have Access to people's data.

The person you quoted, and a lot of others, are very ignorant. I see mostly nature documentaries on my tiktok because that's what I watch the most. These ones choose to watch dancing ladies and complain that's what tiktok shows them

The USA are not complaining about the content of tiktok but the data it collects from USA citizens,
The parent company that owns tiktok bytedance it's CEO was a former pLA general and has close ties to the communist party in China

Tik Tak popularity took Americans by supprised and they are clamouring to Ban it in America Maybe they will succeed this time around. Wicked politicians every where.

You are an African so you can never understand.

You swallow every nonsense thrown your way.

China is using a different algorithm for her citizens. YouTube is not available in China.

The two countries know the games they are playing that will be incomprehensible to an average African mind even in a thousand years.

it not about that bro
It more about privacy theft
TikTok is owned by china and china is a friend to Russia

Now do the calculation your self
The more reason they banned Hawaii too
The more information ona American citizens re with these foreign owned companies especially from china is a big risk to Americans

If TikTok wish to remain in America
Let them bring their headquarters to American
Under america law and rules and also pay taxes
And why china go banned Facebook, google, twitter, WhatsApp etc from their internet space
Binance was an example
America no de joke with their enemies especially china and Russia
