that is why facebook hate it so much
Tiktok AI is the most valuable part of the app. That's why China banned sale of the the AI.
How do you know
It’s scary if used for other reasons
If the algorithm had been sold Tiktok will be exposed as a spyware not an entertainment software . So of course China is covering their tail
Smart move
Roger S its in the news, did you not read?
If you think about it, Vine is basically the old grandfather of TikTok.
but chinese owned
Hey mom I found another unfunny Justin Y comment
Just not as sketchy
yo justin young how's school
yo justin when did you become political?
FYI: Musically, the company trending in North America before Tiktok and bought by the latter, was also an international company founded by Chinese in Shanghai.
Interesting, we should all start learning mandarin from now on

Am I the only one that hates tiktok but find interesting how it grew up so fast?
That's how fads work. Now go back to your bathhouse.
Download it and find out
Reddit gang sorry
Lemme guess, you hate it for the same childish reasons as everyone else
Late Night Thinker yes
Tik tok kids outsmarted Donald and spoiled his Tulsa rally 😃😄😂.
now other companies start to copy clone Chinese app....ha
National security? Yess China wants your dance videos and pranks, it's very important to them.
RUclips doesn't want you to read this quote.
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." - Edward Barnays, Author Propaganda
If you get triggered reading this quote, I suggest looking in the mirror because you are the problem.
*THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS, it should almost be across the top of every web browser by law.*
Absolutely agree. Unfortunately, people either don't care or really don't want to be aware on any level.
This is true, but what do we do abt it
I mean we are all manipulated through persistent campaigns with a certain narrative in all kind of media including RUclips to vote for a narcissistic, pretentious politician. That's true in all kind of democratic countries. The voters have no freedom. They are all under the illusion that they vote out of their heart, that they vote for their own choice. No, it's manipulation. Their minds are manipulated by all the pretentious campaigns.
Woah Woah Woah!
Hi Wall Street Journal, I like your content. I love watching your videos.
I just don’t understand why make a big deal of banning TikTok in the US? China banned almost ALL apps from the west, so do you think this is fair? Why do countries even listen to China when they don’t even bother the international fair trade law?
Are we just going to pretend like China didn’t try to communicate to western media platforms before making the decision to ban apps/websites? For example, terrorist groups that targeted Chinese people used Facebook to organize themselves, and China tried to contact Facebook in hopes of then doing something about it. Facebook didn’t do anything. They clearly made the logical decision.
The US is supposed to be a free country, not follow the footsteps of those kinds like China.
lol go read some news, china dont just ban like that
China didn't outright BAN Facebook, it was Facebook CHOOSE to leave the Chinese market. There's a fundamental difference between being forced out of free market competition and exiting on your own terms.
US is not a free country, it's a communist hiding behind democracy
Am I the only one from gen Z who never used tik tok?
I'm glad you aren't lol.
You are not cool, it’s like not using the iPhone
Some people seem to have their entire personality built on " I'm not like other people"
I never use it and it often makes me feel abnormal lol
@@isti18 Yeah, I don't do tik tok videos because I'm introvert.
Judging by the interface and how videos scrolled and randomly queue in Tiktok i can definitely say it is addictive despite i never even use it, i can hardly remember any other app that has that UI, apart from Vine maybe
Intelligence agencies: China is meddling in our elections
China: We also have an app that has access to 100 million Americans
Teenagers: Meh
Don't all apps collect data. The data that tik tok collects is no different from Facebook, Google and others
Sounds like they are more worried about how effective the TikTok AI is
yes but the US don't like when it's not an american company
TikTok huh, pretty cool idea, think I'll start my own app like this, and I'll call it 'musically' any thoughts?
yeah rate that name tbf
good luck
I might even fund it for you😏
No one cares
You'll never get that domain name or trademark

The meaning of life is to understand life through living it, not to think of how you might have lived but to understand the importance of how you have, you live it a day at a time the truth is its the realisation to live each day to create tomorrow we live consciously, the meaning comes from what we leave behind but the key to success is to think of each as what we put on top of the other. What is within us is greater then that which lies beyond us what is within our control only shapes our destiny what affects us only serves the purpose of us coming to the realisation of the effectiveness of how we commit to ourselves.
How much did they pay you to advertise it? (Good or bad, all publicity helps them!)
Why do so many women do those weird hand movements while they dance?

Your superiors are syping on you
ByteDance’s AI algorithm is one of the best in tech world. It’s other product called Toutiao news aggregator (logo shown) is one of the most used along Douyin. Trump is stupid to push TikTok out instead of collaborating
that dr phil vid though..
Is this a commercial?
It’s a rational video which didn’t tell you what is right and what is wrong,it gives you more space to think about tiktok
I think other countries should ban US tech company also in the name of national security. Then US will realize that what does it mean 😂😂
Oh... I start to use toutiao so long ago... And pls use "copy" to be precise…
everyone is talking about the clock counting down to world war not some app but problem is sounds clock makes and name of app is tik tok
a very clever person once said that the secret to gaining wealth is to get millions of people to give you a little bit of money.
Chinese startup : *comes up with a successful innovative app*
USA gov: is that a spy tool I see?
Some people might say China banned Google/Facebook etc. Fact is they refused to comply with basically the Chinese version of GDPR (Chinese user data must be stored within boarder and only Chinese citizens can have access to it, etc) and ceased their operations in China, naively thinking they can bypass that by redirecting users to foreign servers. But China then restricted access to their servers outside China. Apple and Microsoft were willing to put their servers in China and do all the paperwork, their operations are going just fine.

Why tiktok is banned from the US goverment? It's chinese company....

@@hansonkewl2377 absolutely.
even if you repeat 30 times addictive it wouldn't count as 30 unique words.
China number one!🇨🇳
China to the world : It's our right to ban all foreign apps and websites.
China again to the world : how dare you to ban our apps!?
Ikr
China did not ban Google, Facebook, only requested them to abide by Chinese law (basically requested them to censor contents of terrorism) which they refused (on account of freedom of speech). Tick Tok and Huawei are willing to abide by US law and they are banned for being Chinese companies (alleged reason of national secuirty which is groundless and unsubstantiated by any evidence).. That's the difference in the fate of US companies in China and Chinese companies in the US.
@@xianminxi6919Basically China regime asked Facebook and Google, RUclips and all other foreign social media and non social media companies to follow their instruction to limit freedom of speech and suppress and censor anything that is criticizing China government, Xi Jinping, CCP and CCP figures, they asked these companies to share users private information and data so the China regime can silence any undesirable voice, fortunately they didn't obey, so China regime chose to ban them, all the authoritarian regimes and dictatorships do the same thing, they cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition voice so they pursue the same path of labeling critics and everyone who express opposite opinions with tags such as terrorists and criminals, and of course they call it law, how they are suppose to suppress freedom without law?! China is not alone, all authoritarian regimes have done the same thing over and over, history is saturated with these kind of behaviour, labeling and suppression, Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, they are universal principles, China is the biggest violator of human rights in the world.
Good

Bahaha, a partner doesnt mean they are fully selling their business
The brain of the app (AI) is not for sale. Only the operation, customer support, user management, marketing etc. are for sale.
True.China banned the sale of its AI.Its AI is the most valuable part of TikTok.
@@arbaz79 The two biggest music streaming services in China are NetEase Music and Tencent Music. Both of them have much better AI than Spotify, and of course, way better than Apple Music. China is, for some reason, leading in the AI field, it seems. I think many Americans will register as Canadians just to use the original TikTok.
@@AvadaKedavra943 true.China is currently way ahead of America when it comes to AI.Lets see if US catches upto it.
TikTok is just an app we post dance, leave TikTok alone and fix the economy please
lydia yuna Trump already “fixed” the economy - he saved the stock market by printing over $3 trillions of dollars!
Trump: What US debts? Not my business! I’m in my 70s anyway, will die soon enough, it’s the youths problem, not mine.
Chinese apps are really interesting,,, keep going!!!!
A ruse by any other name is not as sweet in Drumpft's USA, Co.
Nope. I’m not part of that 2 billion downloads.
If you want to read more about this, 'TikTok and the Sorting Hat' is an amazing essay and history: www.eugenewei.com/blog/2020/8/3/tiktok-and-the-sorting-hat
Titktok app is one of the example that shows its a technology which will power to last person of the society....
Human species have inherent inclination to fame... Recognition by the other people....the attention seeker behavior which is there in every human....n tiktok just captured it and gave it a platform to express this...true all this is virtual thing but people modify thier physical lifestyle for this virtually....the reason is to prove that i am here and i have something...
Tiktok liberally democratized the technology by adding momentum to it...
Free CGTN Journalist Cheng Lei (Australian Citizen) detained in China.
So Tik Tok is an update of the 'Big Brother' ideology; we've had Yahoo/Google, RUclips, Xanga, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and etc.
Why not just give people a short answer about trying to understand what is on an individual's psyche instead of making up stupid marketing comments like, "It's fun, addicting, and fun."
I suppose that defeats the purpose of trying to understand an individual or infiltrate their privacy while trying to make a profile of sorts?
You can read a book cover to cover, word for word, but do you truly know the author?
Good stuff though, better than 100 years ago for sure!
The next one is PUBG?
just get VPN
So tiktok band on or yes ?
Nope
Now after GME you know why.
I hope it gets banned
Not happening at this point, it's been acquired by Oracle or sumn
@@latenightthinker4737 watch your words
@@brickplank_films5189 did I stutter?
@@latenightthinker4737 yep you did 😉 at the last second it’s banned
@@brickplank_films5189 lol, recent news begs to differ🤭
Well Now Facebook wants to copy Tiktok
Yankees didn't even leave TikTok...
Well, I think countries are banning these type of apps for the wrong reasons. I think the addictive nature of these type of apps and also how it warps our socio-emotional behaviour towards one another is unhealthy. Even though the apps push through fun content, it also pushes toxicity and other type of behaviours that can marginalise certain type of people. But oh well, whatever.
These seem much more legit reasons than national security which seems to be the only one President Trump can think of.
Never downloaded
not interested
Yeah because you are too busy staking vampires and making out with hot vamp dudes.

We think now face book insta whats also national security problem like tiktok
They are national security threat to other countries, not the US. For US citizens, they are privacy threats.
If there is no Tik Tok, would it really matter? Like we need another tool tracking and competing for our time.
It's not that hard to copy and tweak. Thanks to Vine, gen Z and more narcissists who have nothing better to do lol
Tik Tok and Dou yin aren’t even the same lol
yes they are 🙄
high艾迈德 They’re not
Then why did TikTok take the logo from Douyin?
Yeah legit Security cconcern there,,,
also Cambridge Analytica and PRISM isn't real 😊
CCP thanks you for your service.
The best app
US should BANN tiktok like INDIA
So, true, US and all western nations must ban not just tik tok but all the Chinese apps.
@@billhints7979 why? Pls explain
Not only tiktok also wechat 😂
I don't have tiktok account. I haven't even downloaded it. It's made for stupid people. To make a huge fortune, its creator knows that people are idiots, so give them an idiot product and they'll buy it. We live in a fake stupid world.
Why not download it and see if it is as you said?
imagine if there was a competitor to disneyland?
Perhaps only Trump dares to ban it
*President Trump is one of the few politicians that would have EVER called them out. Say what you want about him, he's a Patriot and wants to make a difference.* 👍 🇺🇸
Hes a liar and a conman. If his own words portraying himself as a liar doesnt convince you, you are already in too deep in the politics to see facts.
