Apple, Google told to be prepared for TikTok ban on Jan 19
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 дек 2024
- Congress is ordering Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores by Jan. 19. In a letter to the tech giants, lawmakers said they must comply with a soon-to-be-enacted law requiring parent company ByteDance to divest the video app or essentially be banned in the United States.
That law was signed by President Joe Biden in April 2024 and was upheld unanimously by an appeals court. It states marketplaces cannot distribute, maintain or update TikTok, effectively impacting both new and existing users.
If ByteDance decides to divest, the deal must be approved by the U.S. government. Additionally, the president can grant a 90-day extension if the company is making progress on a sale.
“Congress has acted decisively to defend the national security of the United States and protect TikTok’s American users from the Chinese Communist Party,” lawmakers said in a letter to TikTok CEO Shou Chew. “We urge TikTok to immediately execute a qualified divestiture.”
TikTok is considered a national security threat because parent company ByteDance is based in China, which has a law requiring companies to assist the government when asked. The Chinese Communist Party could require TikTok to distribute misinformation to its 170 million U.S. users, collect personal data on Americans or install malicious software on users’ cellphones.
TikTok argued in court that banning the app violates the First Amendment. The court ruled that the law actually protects free speech from a foreign adversary nation and limits that adversary’s ability to gather data on people in the United States. The court rejected all of TikTok’s constitutional claims.
Anyone who already uses TikTok in the U.S. won’t lose access to it on Jan. 19, but they won’t be able to update the app anymore, which will eventually make it incompatible with their phone’s operating system and unworkable.
President-elect Donald Trump said he wants to prevent a TikTok ban but has not offered details as to how he would do that.
“I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok,” Trump told reporters Monday, Dec. 16.
The law takes effect the day before he’s sworn in.

As an 18 year old, ban it and try to ban all other short form content. It's destroying our species.
Get rid of it. Protect these people from themselves.
no. don't mess with my autonomy
Our young generation are being fed trash. Spend time with your kids and stop complaining. We don’t need it.
People use it for business.
Face it. the majority of parents are socialized to want children.
Very few parents enjoy spending time with their children which is why in the past they literally told their children "children should be seen and not heard".
@@RideWithMe80 By business you must mean carefully crafted scams which take advantage of the users blind trust.
Why would a legit company want to align with a marketing company so willing to engage with fraud as their business model?
@@JEdwarrd An absurd take. The only way you could come to this conclusion is if you had a very, very shallow understanding of life, somewhat common amongst the younger generations of westerners.
Children were to be seen and not heard because they were expected to earn the privilege of participating in adult life by proving themselves worthy of being heard. More or less the same thing as the 'coming of age' rituals practiced by tribes all over the earth.
@@breno2024 It's a fascinating topic really. Take Josh Duggar for example.
He and his family duped MANY people into believing they were the face of love & family.
Their parenting tactics (promoted by clergy)were exposed.
During the 20th century pioneers/ settlers parentified their children for farm duty which caused deep psychological wounds in society felt today.
Fred Trump was the epitome of abuse, and now his son is cheered on by those screeching "family values", as he bragged about his close- fun relationship with Epstein.
So you see this is a more nuanced discussion that your Leave It To Beaver mythology of parental love.
Good. Can’t wait.
Good point
I agree, Why isn't TikTok fighting for freedom of speech in China?
🤡
Ow no, it's going to destroy our country 😂😂
@@theoddgamer7147 why do you think it’s even on the their radar??? It’s because the company that owns Tik tok has been busted already using algorithms to feed American users “bad” content. And there have been incidents where people in secure locations are doing tik toks.
Byte dance is legally obligated to provide any and all info to the Chinese govt on request. The CEO of tik tok admitted to congress that he doesn’t use it or let anyone in his family use it.
These iPad Kids gonna be throwing temper tantrum Lowkey 😂
Not Ipad kids, people my age bracket (13-20)
Wrong gen, they’re not even aloud to use TikTok it.
I hate to say this... even though it'll be banned, TikTok will make something up in a sleeve...
Remember when EPIC games are banned from the app store and google play? they using APK/IPA downloading from THEIR website instead of google play/appstore... TikTok might doing that route to bypass it
Now all these so called “influencers” will have to get real jobs lol
There's still RUclips and Instagram.
@@GH_Entertainment and that pos app called bluesky. full to the brim with people that do nothing but ruin the reputation of other ppl in their same group
This violates the first amendment
Wait untill A.I. crap gets here on RUclips
I hate to break this to you but there are limits to free speech even in the U.S.A. The U.S.A. has never had ABSOLUTE freedom of speech.
It's a national security threat. What does tha thave to do with the first amendment?
an early christmas gift for us and an extremely early birthday gift for me. we will all cheer
Land of Freedom😂
yes. bye bye tiktok 💪
Go outside its free
@@sanchezs7614 Take your own advice.....
@@JEdwarrd im going outside for a jog and later the gym. Care to join me?
Fr 😂
It's doesn't pay creators half as good as RUclips does anyway.
WE WON!!!!
Can Twitter be next?
Twitter is actually better
That sounds good on paper, however remember tumblr? How when that site (essentially) died all of a sudden twitter, Reddit and other sites got way more political? If twitter gets banned, all the awful and really annoying people won’t just do something else, they will exodus somewhere else. Probably instagram. I mean perfect example, look at bluesky. People are saying twitter is being killed by it because it’s better, but it’s just as bad. What’s awful about twitter is the people, not site itself. I’d rather they are stuck in one place that everyone knows is awful and to avoid than have them scatter and ruin other websites.
and FaceBook and Instagram too!
@@sanchezs7614 It's better for people who believe Elon is a genius as his cars crash, and he wants accident reporting to end. lol
No, keep Twitter. Remove reddit, Instagram, and Facebook.
If the chinese government entered tik tok headquarters in china and said hand over all the information …they gonna say no ? Lol
They can’t
Majority of TikToks data is stored in Singapore or the US, actually
Yes. Government can access that data but do the US government spy on cell phones of China ? I bet they would, so iPhone is a tread to China national security so China should ban all iPhone on China soil.
2018 me would’ve loved this news
January 19th cannot come soon enough!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yaaaaaae!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nope!!!
Honestly equal if not better than Australia's social media ban for minors
Australia has us beat. We're going to regret not doing more in 10 years or less. Its already bad enough.
Nah
@@rebeccaaldrich3396Australia's laws are easily bypassable using VPNs and proxies. The US ban would prevent usage of the app if they have accounts.
W tiktok is basically has tons of inappropriate content and brain rot
Good.Can't wait either.
I don’t care for TikTok or social media in general but letting the government take complete control of our lives is not a good thing. not something to celebrate.
I am absolutely giddy. TikTok treated Black content creators horribly! I stop using TIKTOK months ago. All I can say is good riddance!
The motive for Tik Tok in the west was to dumb down the youth to give them anxiety disorders.... so the next generation isn't a threat to Chinese interests.Your feelings were never their motivation.
Your feelings were never part of the equation.
The western version of the app was designed to given the youth anxiety disorders... to stunt western economic growth.
I don't use TikTok, and I'm a white guy, but I am curious what happened. What did TikTok to Black content creators?
Chinese aren't fans of them.
Tik Tok was never about creating community, it was about using the technology to cultivate anxiety disorders, so the younger generations are not a threat to foreign economic agendas.
We will see
Luckily i never downloaded tiktok
*_And nothing of value was lost...._*
I’m not amarican but I have a iPad with TicToc I haven’t updated for over 3 years. It works fine. Some bugs but still completely usable. Only thing is there won’t be any new features in the app. Android users can also just sideload a newer version too. Unless they completely block the app it will work for years
Thank God!
🎉
Is CapCut getting banned as well?
No thankfully.
Noooooooooo
Amazing. So tired of people brain being rotten by this app.
Good took’em long enough
This is so cruel
nope. now people have less reason to be sucked into their phones and can finally learn how to be part of society before this cancerous brainrot was created
Why? Watching crappy videos
Doubt it'll happen
Finally!
But you love Twitter...... and you don't seem to make the connection. lol
@ i grew up without social media ill be fine
Saved TIKTOK!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
NOPE
Nope
NEVER
Ban instagram as well😪
Hey, don't go to far on that one. Besides, Instagram is made in the USA.
@thesuperamazingalex810 I'm in India🤧
@@RamanansArtchannel Fair point.
Sounds good 😌…thank you America
Hell yeah! Can’t wait
roblox tiktokers are about to get removed WERE SAVE
Ban socia media!! Please. Except RUclips lol
exactly, unlike all of the other brainrot social media (which ie pretty much everything besides youtube) youtube is actually useful for society. you don't see 50 year olds and people with businesses making these stupid dances and overall being a public nuisance on the platform and in real life
Hip Hip Hooray !
I honestly don’t care if tic tok is banned because I don’t use the platform.
BIIIIIGGGGGG MADDDDDDDDDD
And they wonder why young people voted for Trump 🤣
Go eat poop
.......they will soon understand what they have done to themselves attempting to "stick it" to the "man".
@@JEdwarrdyou’re an idiot.
This passed with overwhelming Republican support. Trump won't be able to do a thing
Biden signed it ! Did you hear that ?
Ban fakebook next 🎉
Im on TikTok just about every day. It’s a great app. But national security comes first. Just sell it to Apple
LET'S GO!!
Good
Ban tiktok but youtuber reupload tiktok on content react should banned too
Should ban shorts and reels instead. Tiktokers would migrate to these platforms.
@@user-op5vz5jw4pthat’s the point, the only problem they had with Tiktok is it’s Chinese. They could care less if they went to Instagram and RUclips in fact they would encourage you more there.
Thats r*tarded
It's not about the video it's about the malware installed in your cell
@@user-op5vz5jw4pnah bc RUclips belongs to America
😂😂😂, secured threat lol, more like they are scared because it’s what they have been doing with top apps like Facebook, google and likes … there’s a publication that states the CIA can literally ask for any information from these companies… 😂😂😂
No way its actually happening 💀
No is not true
It is true
Good. Don't need it. Go out side do something kid
Ok, so we're all switching over to IG?
Good. Do Instagram next its all trash too.
You clearly don’t get the reason why TikTok is being banned. It’s because it’s a Chinese company. That’s the only thing the government cares about. Instagram is an American company so they’d never ban it.
On what grounds? Meta/FaceBook is a 100% American company. The only grounds the US might have are some shady advertising practices but thats about it
Twitter too
Jan 19, LOL.
The beginning of the end for TikTok in the USA ❤
Good!
Tick-tock.
Our generation is cooked💔
That was by design....
Parents: good kids should go outside and play not that stupid social media.
Kids: noooooo we have dreams please.
Yay! Can't wait 🫶
Yes
Thank you Jesus
Why not android phones?
Anything with a screen is ban.
One of the best things I have heard this month!!
Ikr
too late. there will be a crack for it. sucks to be IOS
Why
Just use vpn
Just change App Store region to litreally anywhere else in the word
Normal people aren’t that pressed, we have lives
Lots of “TikTok Celebrities” are gonna be irrelevant af 😂
YAYYYYYYYYY I CANT WAIIITTTTT. 😂 NEVER HAD THAT APP TO BEGIN WITH CAUSE I DONT FOLLOW TRENDS BUT YEAHHHH BOYYYYYY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! 😊
Poor kids, they going to be crying of what's going to happen. 😂😂😂 I'm sure their parents will be happy about this.
RUclips shorts FTW!
yassss no more pirated users stealing RUclipsrs content.
RUclipsrs do the same 💀. You know how many TikTok’s are just reuploaded onto RUclips. These aren’t even the original creators too.
@@personyt55like Sniperwolf
@@personyt55why are you saying it like youtube steals more content from tiktok instead of the other way around? my bet is the small amount of people who upload stolen tiktok content probably got robbed first and just got their revenge. RUclips will do just fine when tiktok goes away because youtube existed first lmao
Stop The Ban Stop The Ban Stop The Ban!!! Its All about Beauty!!!! Fame and Money!!!! These Anti-TikTokers are all Karens!!! Let us Team TikTokers win this Battle to #SaveTikTok i dont care what the tiktok haters say, TikTok is Great!!! And U Can’t Cancel Me.
And I Hope My Comments Will age gracefully!!! Like Fine Wine!!
I sure hope they get it banned. This app is filled with cringe content already.
Good 🎊 🎉
MADDDDDDDDDDDDD
It's time to discontinue brainrot use of TikTok lip-sync songs and dance content.
People would download the app from third party app stores or download the APK directly. Even if the US imposed a Chinese style firewall people would use VPNs to get around things and it would be a game of cat and mouse to block it.
Some users will do that. Most people will just go to Instagram, Snapchat, or some other new app.
there is no vpn block. in theory the app wont leave.
Not if parents block it!
@@maxpower-u1tIf it’s too much trouble people will turn to other social media platforms. Bluesky has caught on like wildfire!
It's a NATIONAL SECURITY RISK. Do what they will sure, but most will go to Meta or RUclips.
Good riddance! This is great news!
Hope those TikTokers have fun flipping burgers. 😆
2018 - 2025 😂
Goodbye tik tok
Banned 🚫 tikTok
America people need to understand we need to protect our country from terrorist
Myspace is making a comeback 😂
I hope not
Get a job
Go outside. Explore nature...
Well… anyone wanna migrate to CapCut?
No more dancing with Granny videos …
It will be back up on January 20 😂
47 will save tictok…..
No way he can. Only Congress can repeal a law,. The ban had overwhelming bipartisan support.
I wonder what else you think he will save, but won't...
This is a fun game, watching as the leopard eat faces so wilfully ignorant.
Haha I don’t even use it funny !
Learn how to install APK people. Easiest way around this BS.
It's(pretty much) the same thing as a .exe file(executable). People should have no trouble learning about it by now.
Isn't the US mostly Apple?
they will ban tiktok us servers also gudluck to that 🤣
@@sauceman2924 so use a vpn and use a foreign server?
@@DossAccc-k4u I know lots of people who use android. I’ve been thinking about going back.
GOOD!! Why Jan 19th? WHY NOT NOW?! What's the matter Congress? Chicken?
Ban tiktok
Trump is meeting with TikTok CEO
I hope not. Deleting TikTok would be great for kids mental health. Bad for pervs like u.
Why? He already ran..... China won.
I'm sure the CEO will lie to Trump as much as possible to keep the app afloat!
@@steelionx9255 Naturally, China now has a puppet to control. The MAGA slob who has all of his products made in China.
Go figure.
And Trump will lie to US.
I want it banned NOW!!!
LETS GOOOO
Finally
Ok, ban tiktok & Legalize gambling, 😂
Good, ban instagram reels and twitter next
Good.
Fug yes much needed L for the CCP and W for the US
You say this after China won. It's like none of you realize what Tik Tok was used for............WOW. just WOW
I feel like most of gen z got mental illness by engaging themselves with this app including believing they can diagnose themselves with certain things they see on the daily basis with there algorithm…
This is true! My nieces and nephews watch TikTok non stop and can pay attention
@@sanchezs7614"watching tiktok nonstop" and "pay attention" can't be in the same sentence buddy
@@sanchezs7614yeah ok bald Mr beast. still trying to glorify him huh? after all the drama against him?
