Anonymous, 18 May 2023I hope my government does same.
Tiktok makes ppl stupid. Yo, tiktok does not make people stupid. Stupid people use tiktok , there is a difference. I know no person with actual ambitions and/or things going on in their lives spending a lot of time in tiktok. It's a low level drug. You should never ban those, it shows that you are a low brow society (drugs should be legal, and people both have the will and things going on in their lives to no need them).
Every drug ban is honestly working against society in the long run.
In this case, ofc, they ban it because it cuts profits from American companies. Same reason China blocked American products. It's trade war galore.

Just so you can watch people doing strange dance moves? That's just nuts.
My digital footprint is as small as I can make it in the 21st Century. When I do banking online, or pay bills, or make purchases online, I always turn on my VPN. How many of you don't use VPN? I would bet most of you don't.
Why it isn't banned everywhere already
Forums & message boards are the only good form of social media
SixSeis, 18 May 2023And instagram and facebook don't do anything like that, do they? It is very hypocritical ... moreMeta can pay off politicians who dont know anything about tech and totally get away with it with no punishment, but if TikTok or any other chinese/asian company where to do the same, you know damn good and well that they would be banned in a heartbeat, and major lawsuits would be brought against them.
honestly would've thought twitter would be banned before TikTok, seeing as twitter not only sells so much more data than TikTok, but is also is probably the least safe mainstream social media platforms. People spread false information, attack each other, and doxx people they dont like. Oh, and there's thousands of search terms that haven't had anything done about them that will bring up NSFW images including minors, these terms having been in existence for YEARS. but of course, TikTok gets banned first since China cant be trusted ๐

From young boys and girls to teens to old uncle and aunty are doing TikTok ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ Most of the people I know, young or old do TikTok ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
I rather spend the time on TikTok (if I used one) by watching Anime or movie on my phone.
All the people saying the app is cursed, or cringe or whatever don't even know they're telling on themselves ๐คฃ, nevertheless they should be investigated if they do sell data to China. Even then i don't see the problem.
Hope they ban it worldwide
Once I downloaded TikTok, saw a lot of very degrading content and then deleted the app. Lemon8 is very similar.
ff, 18 May 2023Thought china had a giant firewall does vpn really work in china, probably long penalties for such?Some do. There are Chinese people here too.
Shame really as the app actually shows people the truth unlike the "news" companys do......
And instagram and facebook don't do anything like that, do they? It is very hypocritical to think that the US is the good guys in history.
