1. We aren't an authoritarian country (at least not yet). 2. It's up to those other countries whether they want to ban us or not. 3. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) IS the absolute authority over Bytedance, which owns TikTok.
I don't really care about the security issues. I just want it banned because it's extremely harmful to the mental health of users. Rand Paul as usual embarrassing himself with his lack of knowledge of the law.
The funniest thing about this entire situation is that all the TikTok users are red pilling themselves with Red Book, diving even deeper into the Authoritarian kool aid...social media is *great* isn't it?! lol
No, they are reportedly enforcing it based on phone numbers. So any account associated with a phone number starting with a +1 prefix and an American area code would no longer be able to access their account. There’s more to it, but that’s the point at which a VPN would not apply.
The ban involves the phone app. Google, Apple, and other app store providers in the US will no longer be allowed to offer the application to users in the United States. This effectively kills the app as it can no longer be updated, and if you get a new phone you won't be able to get the app on it. US hosting providers won't be able to host TikTok's servers as well. A VPN isn't going to help here.
Why is it ok all American companies to access other countries data?

Twitter is a greater danger 🇺🇸
Why do you think X is the greater danger?
Socialist? 😂😂😂 MAGA
For security and data protection reasons, the US should remove all Chinese 🇨🇳 apps from App Stores now.
Wow! I love our democratic republic!
Why do they not mention it was passed under a humanitarian aid package?
I agree with The Senator. It is a absolutely terrible idea to ban TikTok.
Banning a format not speech. There are other formats for people to use.

Bunch of supremist haters.

Bad
Rip Tik Tok Shop you were the best
I agree with Rand Paul. We are not an authoritarian regime. We do not ban apps.
That’s good that they are banning TikTok I hate TikTok but just my opinion
Finally
Yep, it going. So long.
Everything done in the name of “democracy” is justifiable 😅
This is too little too late
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂
Surely all Americans have to do is use a simple VPN app and then they can still use TIKTOK. Am I right?
