- TikTok’s chief executive has vowed to ‘keep fighting’, after the US House of Representatives passed a bill that could see the app banned in the US.
Shou Zi Chew warned that if the bill becomes law, it will mean the end of the app for its 170 million users in the US.
While the bill passed overwhelmingly in the vote, it still needs to clear the Senate and be signed by the president to become law.

Facebook and Twitter are banned in China, why not TikTok
Maybe the us should act differently than China?
@@cheikhabdalahi9332 US does act different on everything. But China can manipulate US voters via tiktok algorithms.
It is political funding war man. The Sources really matter indeed.
Elections are also banned in China, do you also think it's a good idea to follow suit?
Fun fact, China did ban tiktok. Only their local version, Douyin, is allowed.
Ban it in the UK.
... and bubble tea shops too.
… and the Chinese food as well please
Yes ban it in the UK
And let’s ban anybody from entering the UK who looks a bit Asian.

@@harshadwakade6577 it's not a BAN
Exactly, it's just the US trying to steal profits from other countries as usual
Why did it happen?
The UK should do the same!
Every Western civilised country should!
Every app collects and uses your data. Google, Meta, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), Discord and so many more apps. If you believe in the ban of this app then all the apps I’ve just stated should also be banned.
How about no
why?
get off youtube too!
It needs to be banned from the whole world!
Isnt it curious how despite being "banned" in China, the CCP is complaining about the app being banned in the US?
The first TikTok is an American company. Chinese companies hold 20% of the shares, but Chinese companies have technology and algorithms, which is what the U.S. government desperately wants. Second, the United States does not allow TikTok data to enter China. China has a Chinese version of tiktok.
Talked like a Chinese schill making lies he can’t back up.
Tiktok is Chinese company. The fact that the CCP is throwing a fit over the banning of a supposed "independent" company shows that.
Yes it should, it's a Chinese weapon.
Do you know that Facebook is banned in China
Because meta it theft data
bullshit
Meanwhile, TikTok:
I'm not Chinese, I'm Singaporean 😮
doesn't matter though, it's getting really dirty..

Most Chinese computers use microsoft windows you idiot
I don't understand how people can't see this. Some people are just so stupid ngl.
Besides Windows systems?
China doesn't even allow thier own people to see all that shit. They have a part available in China, and an offshoot for the rest of the world. So they are just contributing to the delinquency of the rest of the world, but thier own people can't see it.
America hasn't made a successful app like tik tok though so it's not comparable

Because they are white owners

Facebook is not owned by a foreign communist country.
Yes but they're a american owned company, so they don't care. While the rest of the world thinks the american government is more of a threat than the Chinese one.

Note: I dont use tiktok, nor do I support it
Why not...google and Facebook also have our data. Facebook was accused to sell.the data to a third pirty
the point is tiktok is not completely controlled by US government... and it comes from chinese douyin
but in my opinion it is not a problem at all, china just wants to earn more money...
@@user-bk3fj6zb6p no, tiktok is owned by singaporean company, not chinese. Bytedance had majority of share in it, but does not own it. Douyin is local chinese version, it operates separately from tiktok (on separate server).
This is about information control. If bytedance had the majority of the shares, all the 3 letter agencies cannot access the database and user data which is stored in the server, which it can freely do with the likes of facepuke, instagay, youturd and X.
@@user-bk3fj6zb6p所以被美国控制的Facebook youtube ins就没问题，被中国控制的就有问题?
At worst, the other apps are taking your data and using it to sell you stuff. TikTok feeds your data straight to the CCP, which has been building up their military with the specific intent of surpassing the US. I don't particularly want to live in a world run by authoritarians, and I don't want to aid them in their aspirations to do so.
Ban it.
They need to ban all predatory algorithms within social media apps.
Especially FB and Google.

😂WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two years into office, President Donald Trump authorised the Central Intelligence Agency to launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at turning public opinion in China against its government, according to former US officials with direct knowledge of the highly classified operation.
Three former officials told Reuters that the CIA created a small team of operatives who used bogus internet identities to spread negative narratives about Xi Jinping’s government while leaking disparaging intelligence to overseas news outlets. The effort, which began in 2019, has not been previously reported.

Ah biar betul kau ni?
tik tok is not a community. get real.
Tiktok has already become one of the biggest money makers and that's why the US is looking for an excuse to either have it for its own or damage the company.
This is definitely the deep state at work. Tiktok was the only platform where MAGA was overwhelmingly popular.
If banned everyone will forget it in a month. Tok tok people are not known for having long attention span

Why does such a legal procedure exist? Have you ever wondered why you cannot access TH-cam in the counterpart country.
Oh that CCP guy really changed my mind 😂
Can we just get rid of all social media? Or just take it back to what it used to be, keeping up to date with family members and friends? The current iteration of social media is such a blight on society for so many reasons.
Give one reason. Tim tok is bad for security reasons. Social media is a whole new world allowing people to find themselves, explore self expression, share memories and gain experiences. Social media is great for many people, the issue is we need to tackle misinformation, scams and privacy concerns.
@@Uncreeperble you can use other apps than tik tok - everyone was fine without before

@@Uncreeperble
Constantly being barraged with advertisements, groups or pages over the people I’m actually connected with. A non-stop stream of content that is intentionally designed to provoke an emotional reaction out of people and further cause divide in societies that are becoming increasingly divided. Which walks hand in hand with your point about misinformation and its destructive impact on people’s ability to think critically. The fact that Tik-Tok and Instagram reels are slowly hindering people’s ability to focus for long periods of time, which is particularly worrisome for children whose brains haven’t fully developed. This is also contributing to phone addiction.
It’s causing far more harm than good. Getting rid of Instagram and Facebook was by far the best decision I’ve made in a while. If I want to get an update on a friend’s life, I’ll ask them directly.

It should be BANNED.
Yes, what Mr. Pirate said.
People have no idea that their data is valuable. People have no idea that companies are BUYING their data. Think about that. Instead of the user getting paid for their data someone else is. 💵💵💵
Users are paid by getting free access to apps. When was the last time you paid for Google Maps, etc? Everyone knows their data is bought, but its not worth that much individually. Companies, etc. don't care what you do, they care what your demographic buys and does on average.
Yeah, their data is allowed to be manipulated only by their own government. Tik Tok is not a Chinese company and they follows every law of US. The US government just shows they can do whaterver they want and ban anything they want to ban.
It's called cloud currency. Elon musk bought his share with twitter, Bill gates had some but will take a majority with Open AI.... it is the most valuable currency for control and power. Only The USA and China have such large percentages of this currency and like gold previously, whoever has the most wins the war.

It's not pointless the whole point of this ban is to prevent china from taking US users data through tiktok and TH-cam shorts is American and not Chinese meaning China won't get US data through YT shorts
content about Palestine is controlled there. That's the only differnce
This guy is not the CEO, he is just a front guy with no power for any decision on TikTok.
difference is Tiktok followed all American laws, while FB and Twitter refused to follow china's. In addition, USA is not going to ban Tiktok but force to sell to american companies
difference is FB and Twitter followed all American laws, while TikTok refused to follow America's.
Imposing a sweeping ban or fording it to be sold on TikTok undermines fair market competition and the free market economy, setting a concerning precedent. Leveraging government power to target and suppress a foreign competitor opens a Pandora's box of detrimental ramifications for marketplace integrity.
Fair competition fosters innovation and consumer choice in capitalism. Allowing companies to use state power against market rivals distorts the playing field, discourages foreign investment, and stifles market diversity and vibrancy.
Such actions also incentivize businesses to prioritize political lobbying over product improvement. Instead of focusing on superior offerings, companies may invest resources in shaping regulations to entrench their positions.
Fair competition upholds democratic values and individual freedoms. Suppressing competitors based on origin or affiliations risks protectionism, nationalism, and reduced consumer choice.
Rather than bans or forced sale, establishing uniform data privacy and security standards for all companies is a prudent approach. This fosters a level playing field while addressing legitimate concerns about data protection and national security.
Banning or forcing TikTok to be sold based on its foreign roots threatens fair competition, consumer freedom, and American economic leadership in innovation and entrepreneurship.
you must be a Chinese troll - it's about competition or democracy, which China knows nothing about. It's about the national security of the U. S and CCP being able to access citizens' data - Would China be ok with a U.S app in China accessing Chinese data - nope
I agree with you
your name says everything. nice essay ccp bot. we all know that china wants other countries data than their own citizens
NO, give it to me quickly!
Quite an overblown argument. What are the chances that business owners would even need to worry about the bill. Unless its malicious of course.
Though vague, "National Security Risk" is a tall statement. It just so happened that Tiktok is way too popular, and especially close to china. Which would explain the insisting questions about the companies' relations with the CCP. Not to say that bytedance have done wrong or have done so, but its definitely a possibility and is a risk which would be bad for the national security.
Funny Facebook doesn’t get the same treatment
Only Chinese shit is getting ban
Realistically, it's gonna go down to which company spends more on lobbying the senate, either tiktok to have the bill rejected, or the American companies that would benefit from tiktok being banned.
He's going to be in a lot of trouble with the CPP if he fails.... Canada should definitely do the same and get rid of this app
