The House passed a bill that could lead to a U.S. ban of #TikTok if Chinese tech giant ByteDance doesn’t cut ties with the app. But what would a ban actually look like? We’re not really sure. #China #Congress

Didn’t they already ban TikTok?
No, they didn’t. Not yet
Only the house has, they need the senates vote as well to ban it.
You’ll still be able to side load it on Linux Coded Android though.
Trump tried to, even issued an executive order for it to be banned, when he was president (he’s not now). Just recently however, he had dinner with an investor in Bite Dance the Chinese owner of Tik Tok, and now is pushing for it not to be banned. Good to see Trump is principled.
On government phones
It’s all about controlling your freedom trump 2024
check who voted for it, your god isn’t for it
Said the putin loving pos
The app just wouldn’t receive updates and would be unusable I hope ot gets banned people are way addicted to it
The app wouldn’t get updated. How naive are you?
Maybe our society will be less shallow?
you’ve got an ironic sense of humor! One can dream…
What are you going off about
@@jesseolsen8504 social media has made people more shallow, superficial, narcissistic, self absorbed, entitled, snowflakey, etc…. I could go on and on. The fact where a lot of people love filming themselves regardless of if it’s the appropriate place/time/situation, speaks for itself dummy
@@jesseolsen8504 heehee, it’s my birthday, celebrating a bit, I know what I mean in my head but that doesn’t always get translated succinctly in my writing/expression of thought
It would be a good thing
Maybe. What causes tiktok to be bad that isn’t in shorts?
So could the U.S government threaten every company not owned by somebody in the US? We could own every single thing. Blackmail but legal. Give us full control and ownership or we will stop you app…
They aren’t stopping TikTok from anything other than being in American App stores. You do know China bans major apps like WhatsApp? This isn’t the US government gaining control of TikTok, it’s taking away the CCP’s control of it and having an American company own it alone. The US government doesn’t have as tight nit control of US companies as China does.
You dont get it do you ?? China is our ENEMY snd is attacking every way they can like fentanyl do you know there’s only one country that produces fentanyl and that is China, so why is it killing all of our people. How bout the pandemic months after Trump got a trade agreement?? Thats why
Android is written in Open Source LINUX Code.
You will be able to side load, even if you need to root the system.
It needs to be band.
Please learn how to spell first before giving out your opinion.
@@sean2692you don’t believe in free speech for the dumb?
There will be another app just like it if it gets deleted
That’s not the point. Youtube reels and Instagram shorts fill this role already. It’s the issues associated with ByteDance.
Wasn’t there something before TikTok that got banned it was this app were people would sing, dance and lip sync
That’s what I’m thinking. There’s two problems that people can have with tik tok. Either it’s Chinese influence or it’s negative effect on its users. Both problems aren’t helped by a ban. Like you said another app will take its place, or China can use their influence in the many other non-banned apps.
@@EggyWeggyIII we had apps in the past getting deleted it seems like déjà vu
It’s Calle clapper had for a while
Tiktok is Chinese spyware it should have been banned years ago
Trojan horse. It would best way too much power in a child sniffing, daughter showering, corrupt, traitorous bowl of rotting oatmeal unfit presidential puppet. They will weaponize that power to shut down conservative free speech platforms such as rumble.
Absolutely ban it…! Without a doubt get rid of this tictoc
And what makes tiktok bad that can’t also be applied to yt shorts?
@@jokuz1437 no ones addicted to yt shorts
@@absolutelypro4612 are you sure that’s true? I’ll tag you in comments and yt shorts contradicting that if you’d like me to
RUMBLE will buy the app they have already offered
Dude, pornhub literally banned the state i live in 😂
The IQs of Ex tictoc watchers would go up an average of 45 points
Not all of tiktok is stupid. If anything, on tiktok there’s much more people who can actually spell right / form actual sentences than you’d see in shorts
@@jokuz1437 lol thats not the point. China really spying on us. Why do you thing china is on top?? and USA is in the toilet?
Maybe everyone would be better off.
You’re watching shorts. It’s nearly the same thing and all short-form would have to be taken off for there to be a large effect
@@jokuz1437 I wouldn’t mind if they took shorts away either. I would like the old youtube back.
You mean they didn’t think it through first? But that’s so unlike them 🙄
Should of happened some years ago.
Does that mean 170 million Americans are not just unpatriotic but, also selfish.
Ban it
This has Utah’s pron blocker looking like a valid bill. I laugh because Utah has mass VPN downloads, and a number of sites just ignore the law.
Look people China made this tik Tok China wants to spy on everybody China wants to know what everybody’s doing Wuhan China made covid and they also make fentanyl and because they make it thousands upon thousands of people are dying China wants to rule the world 🌍
Tic tok is not an amendment right!
Thanks God y o u ‘ r e ready to go to jail with your orange jumpsuit
I don’t agree with the ban just based off of the fact that there are plenty of people who do content creation as a means of an income in the US.
The fact that it even has to be a discussion though. Niccas need to unplug and touch the grass.
There’s quite a few people that use it and still have a life, but even with the ban, platforms like shorts and reels would still exist and be causing some people to not “touch grass”
Western society will cease to exist and ww3 might actually start. It’s the end of the world. Tiktok is life. 😅
Its owned by China and is full of spyware.
BFD…get on with your life.
America is BACK! YES finally some forward progress for our society
Let them band it,, the Chinese government doesn’t let there people use it and they own it..
Your ignorance shows in your spelling. The Gov wants to control the narrative.China is just an excuse.
Start an American version
If apple can magically download an permanent U2 album to everyone’s phone and computers. I’m sure they can make TikTok disappear or not work on your phone too.
Pretty sure everyone would just go to Instagram or YouTube shorts.
Trying to ban our freedom is nothing new!
they already ban RT news channel . and have charges against wiki leaks Founder there is no freedom of expression in USA.
They did not ban tictok. They just took it from china owning it
It would be GREAT!!!! Get rid of it, period.
I hope they ban TikTok
TicTok is owned by our enemy. Americans should not use China owned app. It gives them access to locations. So, if they decide to attack the USA, no problem. They could pinpoint every user. Someone in the USA can write an app. Facebook and X could be used. There are too many people complaining. Try figuring out a solution. Would you give the key to your home to a total stranger. Pittsburgh PA USA
1. How is China our enemy? What exactly did China do to the US?
2. You buy Chinese TV’s because we don’t make TV. The reason Americans use Tik Tok is because we can’t write an app like Tik Tok.
3. As for complaining, I hear many complaint about KFC for serving rubbish, I don’t see KFC getting shutdown.
@@raymondchow8722: True but why is Tik Tok and Google and Facebook and Instagram and Twitter all banned in China?
@@briendoyle3823 How are they banned？ People used them just fine.
TikTok is a social network for degenerates
I was eagerly waiting to hear here the answer from you and you say “we don’t know”🫤
I hope TikTok gets banned. People will live and go on to work elsewhere if that’s how they make money. It has done nothing but distort our society and our children. If I am not mistaken, isn’t TikTok band in China, the same people that created it, and no one finds that odd? They made it but won’t allow their own citizens to use it. That alone would make it so I wouldn’t want it allowed in my country. But honestly it’s mostly that TikTok has done so much harm and continues to.
MANGA associated billionaires are lining up to purchase TikTok, which would be as bad as a total ban.
I hope it’s banned
Do you understand how the 1st amendment works? You idiots.
The real question regarding TicTok and ByteDance, that this short fails to address is: What is the true security risk posed by the Chinese government in obtaining personal data and information from US citizens? I truly want to know the true security threats, concerns, and risks! 🤔 I find that it is a very important question that should be addressed.
Republicans hates Tic Toc because it’s anti MAGA
WHO CARES😂!! I HOPE ELON BUYS TIK TOK , A YOUTUBE.
