- The House of Representatives passed a bill that could ban TikTok if the popular app does not separate from its Chinese parent company ByteDance. The vote was bipartisan and passed in a landslide even after millions of users spoke out against the ban. NBC’s Savannah Sellers reports in this week’s Sunday Focus.

What about banning the China owned Rental properties in the US? I mean if they want to stay consistent in their argument.
Farmland, too
What would they do that if they also make profit via Taxes
Hypocrisy. They’re only doing it to Tik Tok because of one reason: Flow of Information ℹ️
Who’s they? It’s a national issue
i think china gets a lot more data and info from tiktok
If kids are calling committing succeed over a app there is a problem
Then we should ban Instagram as well. All of social media has negative effects
@@jacksonhoward419 I agree I cut all social apps Facebook snap instagram over 5 years ago
Ban all of it
@@ZBruh3except youtube
Ban onlyfans that prostitution app
I swear life was so much better before this stupid app was made
Indeed no vandalized bathrooms no stolen cars no deaths over an app no annoying trending slang i miss having none of those
No it wasn't . Who decided that
@@jacksmith-mu3ee everyone
Life felt kinda better before any social media apps existed.
It was musicky first ppl slow
That app should’ve been banned years ago
You guys will lose the moral high ground to point at other countries when they ban FB, X , Instagram etc.,..
@@directxxxx71 Social media should just be banned in general. It's just friggin' cancerous.
@@directxxxx71They should all be banned too, along with all dating apps, lol.
@@directxxxx71they sould ban all news on FB. They should take away and delete all newspages and banned any links of news websites
same as youtube, why are u here?
Good riddance tiktok sucks honestly
Agreed. TH-cam 4 life.
I agree! Team TH-cam!

I want them to get it over with already.. it’s done so much damage to our society
@@christianbryant5617 how?
if they ban TikTok the world would be a better place
Easier said than done
How do
How so
No it won't
@@raymondchow8722 Why ? Nobody forced u to use it. Why should anyone be forced not to use it ?
Yes! End it! One less medium for all these attention seeking and clout chasing narcissists 😅
Donald Trump does use it though. LOL
@CollegeRodent so?
Donald tchump save us!
Yes ban it Biden please
@@isaiahpledge2538 Biden just signed up for it in February. LOL
People will stop doing dumb things
True
Is this true? I always thought good parenting stops kids from doing stupid stuff. 🤔 If TikTok gets banned, wouldnt they just do dumb things on another platform?
@@GlennLopeznah, YT shorts, Snapchat, Facebook. are not as “techy” and “modern” as TikTok.
No they wont
Government will control u
Ban it 💣
Yes

Yes
YESSIR
The majority of tik tok users cant even vote
Sorry to the business owners it’s other places for that TikTok has too go.
Its business for lots of people but also its threat for millions
Threat who? In what way?
@@liangmincnChina is allegedly collecting US data on it. If I recall correctly
And it’s making kids brain rot
We did business before Facebook and TikTok.
@@liangmincn by collecting our data, making stupid nonsense reels showing younger generation wrong path just look at whats happening around us these younger generation is going crazy unfortunately if you look at Chinese version its way different then US version.
Ban it!!!! Im loving this. I never downloaded the app never cared for it. Its honestly annoying what its doing to people. Ban itttttt
Fr
Why ban it ? That's violation of freedom of speech
India said no to TikTok and launched their own version. We can do the same.
I understand trading and business is a primary way to maintain peace between feuding countries but we RELY on China too much. It’s dangerous, we need to support our own for a change!
Why? Wouldn’t it just be as worse?
Hmm... That would work. If making software was as simple as making chicken nuggets. If it were that easy, Snapchat or Myspace would still be relevant.
@@RobertJohnson-hp4gzyes.. bring mfg to America so the things you pay for become significantly more expensive. Sounds exactly what everyone wants when wages are low, and things are already so expensive. Great plan 🎉
USA has their own apps.
Tiktok is just way better and uncensored
I can do without it.
Use reels and TH-cam shorts then.
I have never used it and I turned out great
@@sstudio36it’s not the same
@@MrEaglescout3 why are u on TH-cam ?
Can you do without youtube ?
Why can't young people use Instagram reels, TH-cam shorts, or Facebook shorts?
Algorithm...and those are censored
Isnt tiktok also censored?@@amazingworld6805
Cause they are Biased
You should ask "Why don't young people use these apps?" It's not that they can't use them, it's that they don't want to use them as much as TikTok. And the answer is simple: it's because TikTok has a better algorithm to make people spend more time on the app. Clearly, all apps want their users to stay longer on their apps, but TikTok has won the competition because more young people spend their time on TikTok than the rest of these apps combined.
my criticize comments against Israel kept getting deleted on youtube, maybe thats why.
I use tik tok everyday and i dont care if they ban it or not. But i really really hate that influencesers are even a thing, and i feel no sympathy for them.
Why not CCP China allow Facebook , TH-cam and Google in China ? Same reason ie National security. Ban Tik Tok in USA is fair .
it's as simple as that. lol
I missed the days when our country was the land of the free.
Its never been the land of the free man, free for whom? White people with money??
it never has been...
Now tell me the US is not a dictatorship!
When someone threatens to commit suicide if tik tok is banned. Means tik tok is unsafe
That sounds like there's a serious addiction problem going on with these TikTok users.
It means someone is crazy.. If there's really over a hundred million users (I don't trust their number they probably count multiple devices), there are going to be some crazy people using it
Some ppl have most of their virtual life happen on tiktok. Banning it is like ruining their life, and they're emotional
@@cloudfish1829this is why as a content creator you have to go on multiple platforms. Not just one.
@@cloudfish1829 maybe they should get out more. It could benefit them.
What will happen? People would sadly have to touch grass
Imagine being insecure of people having fun
Ban it. Ban it to oblivion and forget that this app ever existed
The app is not the problem. The azz-holes on the app are the problem. Same azz-holes can be on any app. Same azz-holes can create an app at any time.
Oh god please ban this poison along with other apps that are similar.
Yes I agree because the bullying and obsession has ruined a lot of young people
It's kinda sad because there are people who are actually good at using this app as a business platform. There's just way too many who uses it for impractical nonsense.
Also, I find it funny how the only people who went out there, who wanted to keep TikTok where people who are making money off it
I mean isn't that true for anything..When it comes to earning? for many people tik tok is their livelihood.. especially struggling artists & musicians. Other streaming apps ain't benefitting them much.
How is that funny? If your job was laid off, you would be doing the same thing too.
Please Do Not Ban Tik Tok! 😭 I enjoy the content I do and I enjoy sharing my passion! I'm so very devastated about this! PLEASE DON'T BAN TIK TOK!!!! 😭😭
Why not use another existing platform?
your people are at war with China, but your country is no. 1 in Southeast Asia that uses TikTok..
Why not using TH-cam short like there is short live now. India ban tiktok but no one is angry about it
My god, think about it. Someone grinded this app for 5 years and gain millions of follwers only for it to vanish in an instant
@@tanky_studiowhich shows that there is no democracy in India
Instagram is banned in China, this is Congress response to that. China uses WeChat instead of Facebook and Instagram.
"this is going to hurt my business"...
Use TH-cam Shorts....???
Until youtube stops paying content creators and pulls a amazon
but they won't@@SaiquanCanty
Why ?
CRUSH IT!!!
These kids need to get a real job!!
once they turn 16 if they aren't 16 and older already
Only 18 older get job and 16
I mean, a job is a job
don’t be getting angry because people found a way to earn money without working for it and you didn’t 😒
Then ban TH-cam lead by exasperated
when people realize that this isn't a tiktok ban but a ban on information the world will work a lot better
It’s not a ban on information. You can just as easily get the information elsewhere.
@@josephknudsen2593how hurt are you about the threats of it being banned? It’s ok we won’t laugh
At this point i am very much convinced that education is illegal in america. When you literally equate your success and livelihood to an app that's a potential national threat and yet you still see people protesting out in the road, man America at this point needs EDUCATION more than anything🤦♀️🤦♀️
yeah but if it is developed by Elon Musk instead China ，will you still support to ban it？
I think you need to focus on whatever country you come from. America has something called freedom of speech and open debate. People don't have to agree on everything just because the government says so.
@WillieFungo I think he’s more concerned about the idiocracy of TikTok ban protesters, rather than freedom of speech
@@TSJ99 Even if they are idiots, they have the right to express their opinions. This isn't Europe where people blindly agree with whatever the government says
@@WillieFungowhere in Europe do you see o r hear that? You guys in the US think are do special, when has the US been a free country? Maybe for the white rich and powerful… also, America is a whole continent not just the US, you guys aint special, and yes , tik tok should be banner
America is supposed to be a free country? Well clearly not anymore I'm this case
Not when China is apparently collecting our data from the app
The United States has never been a free country, it only looks after the interests of people with power.
Nothing is truly free, everything has its price. The rich could not exploit the poor if the poor could not feed themselves.
As written, any “website, desktop application, mobile application, or augmented or immersive technology application” that is “determined by the President to present a significant threat to the National Security of the United States” is covered.
Ban it 👍
Yes
Will You Guys Be Happy If Tiktok Gets Banned Forever?
@@MarkiplierFan1557 Yes
@@KingBowser77766 no
@@KingBowser77766 why not ban youtube ?
It is also the laws in USA that FBI can demand data from any company in or owned by USA. No? just ask Facebook, Google, and ....
I dont even want to go back to youtube to post my videos!!!
If they ban it i can go to the bathroom and not worry about destroyed toilets and not have my car stolen if i get one OH LIFE COULD BE A DREAM!!! Someone ban this app
So WHY can’t people instead use twitter, facebook and TH-cam to market their business? What s so special about tikjock
What would you do if they banned Coca Cola AND Pepsi?
Let’s say you drink it regularly and I say just change to drinking RC-Cola.
Its more popular and simply works better
@@bolbiitp7850I switched to diet kola when Pepsi and Coke got too expensive. It’s not that’s hard life goes on
@@WillieFungoyeah ok sure
they shouldn't ban apps, I don't like tiktok personally, but people should be able to download whatever they want on their phones
I've never installed that app. I've been against it since day one. Not to mention it's extremely gae.
Why ? Then delete TH-cam
What will happen if Tik tok get ban ? Hmmm maybe life moves on it’s not the end of the world😭
Nah they should delete the bird for brain app.
I'm so happy about this decision, the world should consider banning useless apps like these including facebook
Why not youtube ? Start with yourself
a 8 year old committed suicide beacouse of a tiktok challenge.
Dataminr anyone
Now tell me the US is not a dictatorship!
It's competition with China it has nothing to do with democracy or dictatorship many democracies have banned TikTok including India.
America is trying to ban an app that is legit spyware oh no!
I hope it gets banned and all those egotistical brats on that site lose their ability to make money.
You don't want them to make money? How are they supposed to take care of their parents when they get old?
I swear, our life was so much ever until this stupid app was made
No it wasn't . We lost millions of people to shootings , pointless wars , random shootings and yeah we elected 2 war mongers
I ll take tiktok over last 20 years
This is what happens when you base your income on an app that you don't own....it can all be taken away.
LOL, TH-cam has long censored by demonetizing people with views they don't support.
Ima revisit this comment when the masses start getting laid off by companies they don’t own
@@JCapriDaVincifan It's already started make sure to thank those Democrats you got elected.
You'd be visiting it every day then lol. @@JCapriDaVincifan
@@JCapriDaVincifan you would be revisiting this, every day, then, and I really appreciate the attention lol. In all seriousness, though, a TikToker job is similar to a normal job in someways, but it’s pretty different in a lot of ways. If I get laid off from a plumbing job, I can go get another plumbing job because I would have a tangible useful skill that a company could help me market for consumption. A tiktoker’s product is intangible and somewhat useless, and everything that is “produced” is owned by the company, everything that is produced is also produced on the company’s ‘canvas’, so to speak. When that company leaves, the canvas leaves, there is nothing for you to produce, and you can’t go get another TikTok job. The best you can do is start over on another platform.
The United States will be greatly affected. TikTok is such a beloved app, but in many ways, it's had negative affects, with the things people do on there, the things people say. I'm not a fan of TikTok myself, but I want to keep seeing people doing what they love. Lots of young and aspiring talent on that app. I'm honestly nervous for it.
No it doesn't . Cia nonsense
They need to ban it get rid of it please
So those tiktok users will move to other platforms to cause harms to it?
Why can the US make a better version ?
"you can't spy on our citizens, that's our job!"
Ban the app button ✅
Everyone will have an excuse until we have no rights.
If the allegations against China are true aka them using the app to collect our data then yes that’s a problem
Honestly, the app can live on with third party app stores. Android allows apk downloads and you can sideboard apps with an iPhone. If the user base is dedicated to this platform. They can just do that
You can literally do the SAME thing on fb and youtube with shorts and reels. It's all the same thing. TH-cam was the superior format anyways IMO.
so this is the truly purpose of US government,expeling overseas company,shame!😊
Why ? Why not tiktok ?
Who decided that for me
Attention Spans if Tiktok did get banned 📈📈📈📈📈📈
Yes! Banned it! Tiktok is also banned in china!😂 Just fair on both😂
Thankfully most of the people against the ban are too young to vote. Anyone old enough and serious about the app are those who need to get real jobs.
No they are not . And everyone had right to use it
Freedom of speech
And what about the people who can not get any jobs? I suppose having children was a waste of money.
I get that tik tok is fun etc. But to threaten suicide over it...come on 😂
Freedom of speech
Not when it’s a national security threat
MAYBE OUR KIDS WOULD ACTUALLY BE KIDS AND PLAY OUTSIDE AGAIN AND NOT ACT 19 AT 9
Lol no they’ll just go to a different app
They better pay someone off😂
I can’t wait for the ban, I’m excited
What will happen is people will have to find something more productive to do than stupid TikTok. No more stupid tick-tock challenges that results in deaths and injures and America will be whole again.
I mean, not being able to get a job results in deaths and injuries. Also being alive results in death and injuries, so there is no escape.
SUICIDE?????? This is ridiculous. Over an app??
Freedom is worth fighting for
@@jacksmith-mu3eeyou sound ridiculous. Go outside and breathe fresh air.
@@CityofAkirema so freedom of speech is wrong ?
Tell u what . Stop going outside . Leia take away your freedom to go outside and see what u think

Ill clap. It needs to be gone. Same with Instagram, Facebook snap and other forms. It's poison.

They are paid off by Tik Tok

If you're making money that is a "real" job. Are you slow?
If they do then people could just start using TH-cam shorts

that's becouse tiktok show the truth about the Israel the status of occupation

China didn't put Wall. China stopped cia from stealing data
"It wont be removed from your phones, just wouldn't update"
Sounds like an iPhone problem to me. Android users don't have to worry about this. same way Instagram favored iPhone cameras. how the tables have turned...
Our Government should ban AIPAC and not TikTok. 😮
BAN IT
Tick Tock creation is not a small business!
Tic toc alvarithm threatens small businesses. I can buy a pair of Jordan's valued at $600 for $80 because they're rare in the U.S. But in some factory in China have thousands and don't know what to do with them.
No excuse to ban it . Let people do what they want
Ban TH-cam . Lead by examples
please ban it
Why ?
You be wishing it didn't get banned
They’ll just come out with an American version
I am sorry to say this but
Tiktok should be banned
It is for our own good
i wish my country do the same
If US creates their own TikTok us from Asia would surely follow because you guys create trends that are nice to watch.
People who are saying tiktok should have been gone are thinking of one side of tiktok which is dumb the whole app is important for not just businesses but indie artists. It’s not all about music and silly videos. Twitter and Instagram have been phased out for being the outdated way to share. With this gone Snapchat would be the only option and it isn’t as profitable.
worse app ever made
I hope so bandit from the US
No, no. PASS the ban but have an American company buy it
No One cares, Get a Real job
@@KingBowser77766 a job is a job
The tiktak algorithm is better than TH-cam.
but if they ban it then I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE YT ALGORITHMS WHICH IS BULL!
I'm old enough to clearly remember life without the internet. If it stopped functioning tomorrow, it would take me about 1 day to adjust. Social media companies are even less meaningful (except that they make their owners exceedingly rich).
So what is all the hub-bub about Tiktok, anyway? China has long banned numerous American/internet-based businesses, including Google and Facebook. I don't hear anyone complaining about that.
Nothing is being banned. Your title is misleading
It will need to be sold in like 180 days and if it doesnt it gets banned I believe
It should be
So many ppl.trying to be tik tok famous instead of getting a real job..... Lol
There are plenty of social media platforms you can make money on like
How free market of you to ban anything that's not american. How are you any different from Iran or Noth Korea?
Did you miss the part where China is allegedly using it to spy on us?
