The bill is called "divestiture bill"

That he wanted to ban Tiktok then doesn't mean he actually wanted to go through with it, could have been a ploy to get more control of the app with such a threat.

He didn't even sign the so called bill, so how can you claim he enacted it or does enact mean something else to you?

Lastly, we don't need the back and forth, after tomorrow, we shall see.

All in all, Titktok is worldwide, US banning it or not doesn't stop it's usage.

Even Americans are already finding means to still access it because it's of a great benefit to an average American.

It would have been better to ban it in Nigeria, along with other social media platforms, to help our children focus on their studies. Social media is having a detrimental effect on our youth. We may not always notice it, but when you take a closer look, you'll understand.

frankmoney:
that's because they choose to let it destroy them.

Social media currently runs a huge part of Nigerians economy..

But we all know China is a communist,is US now a communist country too?

Research before saying nonsense, if America was ecen serious they wont allow it the first time. American social media giants were all banned in China till today, no Facebook, Instagram, youtube etc none

justwise:
Many of you are missing the point cococandy was trying to make, it doesn’t matter whether Trump signed the bill or not, this banning idea was initiated by Trump and now the same Trump is acting like a nice guy who wants to sort things out.

Infotubia9ja:
As to today tiktok shuts down and no longer works in America.
Our only source of rapid information has been stripped away from the people of America.

It was great having Tiktok while it last.

Difrent:
China is playing their own games with them and if they don't take time he will defeat them at it.

But bro, it's inevitable, the US won't be the world super power forever

I know it's hard to even think of it,but thats what it is,did you think the Brits didnt want to be the greatest empire on earth forever?
But when the time comes , the combination of internal implosion and external factors will make it falter and if care is not take , have a really big and heavy fall.

The fact that Trump is the one who set this whole nonsense on motion during his past term and is now acting like he’s about to be the savior is so sinister. There’s nothing evil that man isn’t capable of. If you’re not paying attention to the things he does, you’ll just think he’s a bumbling idiot. But no. Very nefarious man.

smokinloud:
Tiktok will never find salvation under Trump's presidency. Its promotion of Islamism and opposition to Western values are significant concerns. Interestingly, China has banned the app within its borders, citing similar worries about islamism and protectionism. China wants to use the app to tackle and undermine Western values in the US while preventing it in its own territory. I'd advise Trump to consider imposing sanctions on any Western nation that permits the tiktok app within its territory.

Meedon:
The elites use these platforms to divert youths attention on mundane stuffs while they pamper and loot the national treasury to their satisfaction. The painful thing is that their children also come and rule and the circle continues.

SIRTee15:
The platform is a national security threat to USA. The ceo of tiktok cannot say no to Chinese CCP of they demand for American data stored in his server.
Otherwise his family will disappear.

Charley2020:
App has done more damage than good in some cases, so the ban will definitely have positive effects on society, the extent to which I can't say. FB, YT, and Instagram were still the most used SM apps in the US in 2024 despite the presence of Tiktok, so I doubt Tiktok will be missed much.

cococandy:
TikTok is not a Chinese app. See who’s talking of ignorance. TikTok is even banned in China. It’s a Singaporean owned and run company. With an office in China.

devigblegble:
Indeed land of the free my ass . Elites just want to control everything

madridguy:
In a country where there is freedom and liberty The US government should stop behaving like a tyrant.

America has gone into the dark ages. What a mess of a country. So all those creators and businesses are now gonna lose their source of livelihood because their government can not stand being shamed by China's astronomical rise.

LegendHero:

So you don't live in Nigeria. No wonder you support and promote Tinubu vigorously.

US government did her citizens dirty because of two things:
One, to be able to continue censoring the kind of news they're exposed to. Imagine Gaza genocide are not available for American citizens to watch or read on Facebook and their other mainstream media.
Two, to force Americans back to Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and others. But their people have already flooded another Chinese owned app called Rednote, similar to tiktok. And one of their senators already said that they are going ban that too

Well, China is not a democracy or have you forgotten that
