China Ban Youtube, Facebook, Twitter = US: China No freedom
US Ban DJI, Tiktok, Huawei, C919 Plane, Aaerospace, Wechat, Chipset = US: security issue
China: Everything communist do = US ban.
If you notice tiktokers have a certain characteristic. Narcissistic and full of themselves. Dont trust anyone who uses the app.
Just ban it real quick. If China goes to war with us just for this app, then we know that they were serious and they were trying to steal our information.
Even if they did such a thing, I bet they would only use that for sending ads for other products across the world(ads)
Only ban it on GOVERNMENT devices…not civilian devices
Idk why people are panicking over this. There are SOOO many alternatives to Tik Tok that don't have a national security threat.
Ok Boomers. You do that and you waive all rights to ever talk about US being the land of freedom.
0:30 you SHOULD care that you’re sharing your information with China. That is terrifying to many people.
Just ban it already.
#bantiktok
About fkn time
Good riddance I say
Tiktok is horrible ban it please
This is good any gen z are against this get over it
Like, like, like
Let's be real, we all want TikTok banned, who cares if it "violates" the first amendment, it is an app that violates our right to privacy and degrades us internally and therefore should be banned.
Americans don’t care about US government spying on them so why would they care about China spying on them?
I remember when furbies were supposedly spying on us.
Good I have TikTok and I’m excited remove it
China already knows everything that goes on in the United States 😂😂😂😂😂 one thing about our government is most of them are not qualified for there jobs😂😂😂😂😂
NOOOO if they do I'll actually start bawling how will I watch my silly little videos now 😢😢😢😢
Kids America is already damaged from TikTok America is already damaged by allowing guns into the wrong hands no law going to change that there are already 1,000,000 + in america making reforming law ain't going to help
This is great to show how mentally people who uses TikTok, even my sister uses TikTok. Trump did say he'll ban TikTok in 2020, but lost election by BiDEn.
TIKTOK 😝🇨🇳
ban it please!
Hypocrite china is afraid to use western apps like google on ALL devices, but is concerned and mocking the west on banning tik tok only on govt mobile devices. Hilarious. Shut up china…oh, and stop lecturing other countries on what they should do with their devices.
Ban it. Someone will have the same crap out in a year or it might already be out, like youtube shorts. Honestly everything collects data nowadays… China banned Facebook for same reason.
Good. Ban and Censor! The US finally realised that the Chinese gov was doing the right thing.
How dumb the avg person is.
Демократия.
По-Американски.
JUST ANOTHER WAY TO STEAL OUR INFORMATION
MEANWHILE WE'RE PLAYING GAMES WHILE THERE STEALING BEHIND THE SCENES!
SNEAKY RATS
Delete Facebook, Youtube, Instagram too.
They stole and use the same video format from TikTok
In India our government banned TikTok in 2020 lol… US is like tubelight realising the security threat way too late!!!…
Taco Bell got mad Expensive
TIKTOK AND CHINA ARE AN IMMEDIATE THREAT!!! The old regime in the Chinese government hates America and democracy and feels we have turned their youth against them. So they created TikTok and are using it to poison the minds of children, trolls are reaching out encouraging kids to hide contact from their parents, and pushing idolization of Nazi propaganda like it's the next "rebellious cool thing" and encouraging children to disobey parents and other authority figures with idea that nothing will happen to them because they are kids and look what has been happening with the very young kids across America. Be warned parents. It's already happened to our kid, and probably yours too if you've been having crazy behavioral problems lately.
Biden fail administration of USA 🖐️🤪
I never liked tiktok at all its a Digusting app all its doing is making these teens do stupid and dangerous challenges this is why tiktok needs to be banned permanently from the USA immediately I've had friends who got killed doing dumb challenges and other stuff they shouldn't be doing at all especially the lick challenge that was pathetic and useless and the pink sauce ugh and the Kia challenge too I'm so over tiktok I've lost friends because of that stupid app itself
I'm an American and on the left, and somehow I still understand freedom enough not to be on Tik Tok. What is wrong with people, just handing over their freedom to this nightmare dark empire of 1984 come to life. Look what the CCP has done to Hong Kong AND Burma AND Korea and what they want to do to Taiwan. They just want to steal just like the Russians. Wake up. Stop being such victims of your own empty souls, begging for attention at any price. Get some talent and do something ORIGINAL, not just lipsynching. What a waste of a generation.
How dare you try and take away cute bl videos. At least there’s YouTube shorts
this is so laame
every social media collects our data, its just becasue tiktotk is taking too much of facebooks money
Get rid of it and facebook too
The US Goverment and they Socail Media Apps are also they most Evil Organisation of the World.
Pls be banned it killed my sister so it means a lot to me
Freedom of speech is a joke😂 Good for you America
Trump wanted to ban Tic Tok as soon possible…. Media decried him, threw him of Twitter and Facebook.
