And? So many U.S companies rely on China for manufacturing goods and cheap exports. If you want U.S. to lose some sort of economic war, cut it's ties to China trade then we are completely fucked. Even if we are at war (we're not) we should be aiming to be better allies not going be enemies that would be stupid.
How could we lose? They are the seller, we are the buyer. The buyer has all the power. Thats why they are stealing so much of our tech, that way they don't have to rely on us in the coming decades.

On the other hand, fuck China's subversive data collecting spyware disguised as a fun and harmless video sharing app!

My favourite part is when software developers routinely come up with ways to collect biometric data with thinly disguised filters and apps.

our navy already banned it in 2019. tik tok was going to get banned regardless of the trump rally fiasco. get this through your head

Just because our military bans something, doesnt mean its going to get banned everywhere else. As far as Im aware, you can still be trans and be a fire fighter or some shit, but you cant be trans and in the military

your points kinda suck my guy, just admit that Trump wants it banned because hes a man baby

This is unenforceable. They can recommend that Google and Apple remove it from their app stores, but there's nothing stopping people from installing the app manually, at least on Android devices.

Data mining is a significant concern. So is the government limiting access to media. I dont like the precedent this would set.

Eh, I've read explanations of why TikTok is much worse about this stuff than the others. I don't think this is much of a "gotcha" moment.

Thats actually a shit tweet in disguise. Most people understand these companies are data-mining them 24/7. They just don't care.

did you not bother to read the links i provided? lol. one of which clearly states us senators being unhappy about the chinese spyware. if you plan on being this short sighted i will ignore you.

no that alone doesnt mean a ban is coming but factor in both state and federal govts condemnation and its pretty evident a ban was forthcoming

read the tea leaves guy!!!! you dont have to be a rocket scientist to see this shit coming lol

So basically youre admitting youre wrong

thanks, all I needed

This is a dumb point though. "Trusting" one corporation with data doesn't mean you should be okay with everyone having it. You have much more recourse against US companies than you do the Chinese government.

That's if you ignore any other differences between how TikTok collects data vs your Twitter app.

Why are people defending Tik Tok so hard? Are you really that into it?
Why are people arguing over the legality of this? It is both possible and most likely legal to ban an app. This isn't comparable to the CCP or some dictatorship banning an app to prevent social communication, this is a democratic nation banning an app to prevent foreign espionage.

The question isn't, "Is this ban enforceable?" The question is, "What is this app collecting and who is using it for what purpose?"
We know, roughly, what Facebook and Google collects and how the information is used. We don't know what Tik Tok collects or uses. We don't know the depth of its social information mining (what you upload or interact with) nor the data it mines from your devices.

Lol the social media addicts will be going crazy, i think its a great idea because china is collecting data from Americans for who knows what.
We already know what. The data they collect is being used to refine their in-country regime of oppression of free speech.

Dems and Reps have both called for a ban and here you are arguing against it for 5 hours. Yeah.
Others are defending it, too.

My entire narrative has been this is only happening because Trump is a manchild

So no, Im not defending TikTok

im not seeing anyone else defending it either. The closest I can see is posts saying its a slippery slope

here. This might help, I think you dropped them
