This is why I'm in love with some of the United States policies, but in Nigeria it is the other side of the coin. Our government is proudly selling the country to the Chinese government. If this is not true, check out how they threat Nigerians working in Chinese owned companies.

Americans should vote against this ban, after all they're democracy
Why should Americans vote against it? It's certainly in their national interests and also 100% logical. The American government is justified to ban Tiktok, given all the points listed.

United States is not too stupid in the name of woke, like Europe. They know when to draw the line especially when it affects them their future.

China won't tolerate it if the reverse is the case, so why do you want US to accept ithuh

Some of you don't know how the popular WeChat then died.

All these Chinese apps are full of malwares and spy cameras. Later people would complain of being scammed.

One thing I like about America, they put their country first before anything.
LEAVE THE IGNORANT FOOOLS..... India get apps no body have issues..... CHINA IS ALL ABOUT CONTROL.... SO THEY MUST ALWAYS SPY.... NA WHY THE WEST CAN NEVER TRUST THEM

Censorship.
If this should happen in any African country, the western press will call it Censorship.
Not it will called ok because it's the US.
Hypocrisy is loud and clear

Read again. A U.S government ban on TikTok is a ban on iPhone and Android OS..

You really understand what's happening between the two countries unlike some contributors here saying something else.....it's not US been afraid of competition but on data secrecy and toleration.China hasn't open up to the world but always wanting to penetrate the impenetrable, always wanting to have more of every countries while keeping your own data dousier locked up within your country. China is a very secretive country and nobody in the world can estimate the data of their nuclear weapons armaments or the theory behind their space exploration and expansion but always seeking to know from the western world.






free2ryhme:
It’s about national security, not competition. China doesn’t allow U.S. apps to operate freely within its borders, so why should Chinese apps be allowed to operate in America? The concern is over data security and potential risks, especially when the Chinese government has control over private companies, potentially exposing sensitive American data or spreading misinformation.

Tiktok revolution will happen in USA.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans will protest against this, and then something else will follow after.
They already replaced it with clapper app so there is nothing special there. Most of them are already on the app.

It might be hard but TikTok would have to move forward without the American market. Americans hate competition. TikTok is giving YouTube a heavy blow and YouTube is an American app.
Truth is there's no way it can move forward when most phones are android and Apple. Android users might have their way by using other store like apkure but isn't the same for Apple.

China does not want their population to be influenced so as not to breakup China. Thats what the West wants

This has nothing to do with the rise of China.

Tiktok can access the data of its American users and use ut for nefarious purposes.

China is an adversary of the US. China too bans FaxeBook, X and many other apps

India bans Tiktok because they aren't too chummy with China.

China's economy isn't in good and might remain that way for years to come.

TikTok is making American kids become zombies so they can become useless in the nearest future and China will take over

Nigeria banned Twitter and people forming awoke started making stupid noise
Re: Sell Off Or shut down by January 19: US Supreme Court Rules Against Tiktok App by VanuatuWycombe:
TheSPEAKER:
It is still accessible to millions of everyone else except in the United States. So, if US doesn't want it, they can kiss it goodbye then.

Must US buy and own everything global and power-driven in the guise of perceived threat??

How about Facebook and other apps used globally? Which of these apps do not achieve user info?
You dey mind them?

US feels insecure, whenever it comes to China. US knows China is not its match, in everything. Yankee is full of propaganda.

Why has the EU not banned TikTok? EU has the hardest data protection policies in the world.

Why can’t the US borrow a leave from the EU’s data protection policies?

Which of the American apps don’t collect and use our data? Abi the WhatsApp we are using for free are truly free?

Why does the EU keep finning American social media companies and not Chinese social media companies?

That’s how the US did on micro and nano-chips inventions, the moment they notice China is making a headway.

This US’s action keeps China ahead and close to many self-discoveries.
China is a country on another scale and the US knows this. That’s why every president that comes would want to make sure they try to hàrm China a little.

Do we blame China for their advancement? No. America and other western world countries make the Chinese a global leader.

China doesn’t make noise. It picks the best out of the best governors that must have run at least 4 states/provinces that are not his provinces, successfully, before being promoted for consideration as a presidential candidate.

We can check Global_Impulse, on the same TikTok that the US is trying to ban and watch/listen to what Americans legends and the Chinese say about the two countries.

It will continue to be accessible in the US via VPN.

You also do not need App or Playstore to download anymore.

TIK TOK should not sell.

U.S government ban means, No more TikTok available for download on the Google play store and the App Store.

It will mostly affects all IPhone users worldwide, while it will slightly affects android users..
It'll affect app stores only in the US

Americans and China know this. America is just being petty.

They don’t like seeing anything Asian as leader in anything.

Nippon Steel of Japan wants to buy US Steel, Biden said America is not selling. Meanwhile, US Steel owners don’t object to the sale o.

Does Nippon belong to China? Does Nippon, a steel company, harvest users’ data? Is there any steel technology than US Steel has, as proprietary, that Nippon doesn’t have?

America just doesn’t want to hear anything CHINA.
It’s deeper than we see it.

I don’t think so. It might be restricted to certain region. In this case, unavailable to the US region, like other apps not available to Nigerians.
