Additionally, yet another thing that didn’t help out the Democrats this year and just made more enemies and lose popularity along with the public’s trust.

100% was most likely the big money/lobbyists throwing money at them to do this, all for them to lose in November.

This really shows how fukked up the Federal Government is. It’s no longer about getting closer to facts, but pushing shyt lobbyists pay them to say.

Democrats need to stop taking the money, it’s not winning them elections.

Huh?

Trump set the Tik Tok ban in place his 1st term. His administration deemed it a National Security Threat so they wanted the Chinese to either sell off the US operations or it was gonna get banned.

People got to stop saying that shyt, we have an ideological court. They're ruling however the Republican party wants it to

I dont disagree but that same court is very pro business and as such I see them being reluctant to take a step as drastic as this....

Cause let i us be very real....what does TIkTok do that other tech companies dont that they pose this existential threat?

I use TikTok alot. But if they ban it, I won't care.

None of the US-made apps are allowed in China but, we're supposed to permit theirs?

It's kinda ridiculous. If they do follow through and ban it, I'll be annoyed for a day then I'll switch over to Youtube Shorts & Reels and wont GAF.
what is this stance even, why not interrogate WHY they are banned there? does it make sense for the US to go through with a ban for those same reasons??

Nikka stop. You don't care about the bolded. You care about being able to use TikTok.

We ban products all the time which you would know if you read a news article in the past 3 years but, you don't give a fukk about that.

With your juvenile logic, we should have open trade with Iran, Russia, Afghanistan and North Korea. We're the Land of the Free Breh :comeon:

what websites has the government banned prior to tiktok that haven't been criminally prosecuted or deemed to have broken U.S laws?

what is the current legal and technical process for the u.s government to ban a website/app whose owners haven't been accused of criminal wrong doing? :jbhmm:

China simply makes better products. They have caught up with the west and now the west is trying to block them. They made better mobile phones so the US blocked them. They make better cars..



And the U.S. has blocked them.

They have a better messenger in WeChat and a better social media app

Thanks for promoting this brother..he does good car reviews…

You're the one that sounds delusional :snoop:

This has nothing to do with trade. This has everything to do with censorship. And on the topic of trade wars, who do you thing is going to lose. China has been expanding it's global market share for decades. It's been increasing it's trade partnerships. The US needs China more than China needs the US. They don't need them for natural resources.

At the end of the day, The US traded IP for cheap labor. They saw China as too dumb to be a global power. China took that IP and not only learned out to build their own version, but they built better versions. The US prevented China from being part of ISS so they built their own space station.

The US, France and U.K. are pariahs. They want to keep the rest of the world "emerging" or "third world" and continue to dominate indefinitely. Countries are tired of the bullshyt. BRIC's will continue to add countries and eventually, they will have their own standard trade currency.

This country is being run by Baby Boomers, Gen X'ers, Racist CAC Jews and multinational corporations. They don't give a shyt about the future. They all got theirs and all they care about is keeping theirs. They are using playbooks from the 80's and 90's and none of those plays work anymore.

They banned Xiaomi and Huawei from the US market. And both companies are still growing, despite access.


The US is ill-equipped to compete with China. NAFTA and other trade agreements opened pandoras box. Decades of adapting. Now they want to reverse it with no real plan of action.

Workers complain about working at Amazon, so imagine how shyt will be at a factory with unions. Cheap products will be a thing of the past. Domestic vehicles are already over priced.
Get Americans hooked on a brain-rotting app that sways opinion while harvesting your data and get Americans hooked on cheap products while keeping your own country unable to compete to build the same products. Coup de’ grace is to have American citizens defend said products and apps with their lives. China won and yall don’t even see it..

Breh I wish I had that shyt during Covid. People don’t realize that tik tok is its own ecosystem with a huge commerce footprint aside from content creation.

it’s Amazon, Insta, X, Blue Sky, Reddit, Pinterest, All rolled into one. There are boot camps for every conceivable cert. or career field there. All kinds of educational, political, social, scientific clips directly from the source.

It might be the largest gathering of entrepreneurs with legit crafts, skills and products on the internet.

If you’re a scroller, social media can be a detriment. If you’re deliberate and know exactly what you want to consume, how to find it and how much time you’re going to engage, it’s a wonderful tool… the Chinese have weaponized it in a way that American users will never grasp. It’s helped me to refine a few of my personal affairs for sure.

Any tips for this? i wanna use this for UX an Game Dev

the issue is the Data being in the hands of CCP, this is why dudes are disingenuous with the US companies get the same data stuff. I get it's cool to be Anti American but the Chinese do not give a flying fukk about us so the morality stuff dudes want to argue is kinda dumb. you can argue that "US companies don't care about us" either but this is more of geopolitical thing than a moral thing.

The issue is nikkas think because someone practicr a system you admire OR if they are the opps of someone you feel oppresses you you think they are good for you. I dont think people realize as Americans we are all we got and nobody gives a fukk about us. They only use our injustice faced to attack their opps not because they care about us

TikTok is the best social media site out. If you're a creator, a story teller, a musician or dj, you won't find a better way to get direct to the consumer online.

X and Twitter have videos of people dying. People getting murdered. You don't have that on TikTok.

And the data is stored on a server in Texas.

This is just a power move by Zuckerberg, Musk, anf Peter Thiel
