:saladga:he does realize the fallout is going to be extremely pissing off millions of people to the point where they gonna start campaigning against him intensively.

 

 

Sorry but this is SOO authoritarian and I doubt it will happen. The GOVERNMENT banning an app is literally a dictator move.

Good riddance. Like many people have said, tiktok is very dangerous and poses a huge threat to security when all the info is going back to china. Let's not make the false comparison of banning one app the same as countries that are actually dictatorships.

So you can keep using it as long as the app is installed? It being only taken down from the App Store makes it sound that way, at least.

NOTE: The ban on Saturday will only be a ban on downloads of the app in the US. A full on ban will take place later on in the year, assuming an agreement cannot be reached.

Anyone who is actually aware of what that app is doing and how dangerous it actually is will be okay with this. People defending that app clearly think it’s only about how annoying it is and that’s far from being it. Educate yourselves.

I truly am speechless over the amount of people so happy with censorship

Sorry but it seems like you are not aware of how dangerous that app is and how your info (if you’re using it) can be used in MANY malicious ways. Please google why that app and it’s privacy policy is really dangerous.

Noooooo, didn’t the US operations for the app get bought by a US company the other day? WTF, this is bigger than TikTok getting banned, this is censoring by the government. The fact that TikTok is getting banned, but Facebook is still up and running really bothers me.

The difference is that creator of Facebook went to Supreme Court over those allegations and there was actually something done about it. China’s government is doing this shamelessly and will keep doing it until it’s stopped. The thing is (and I hope it’s not the case) that it could be too late.

There are other apps that get information from you though. I’m not saying it’s right or anything like that, but why specifically ban TikTok when we have a lot of American apps and sites that gather information too? 

Because TikTok is literally stealing all of the info you have in your phone even when you’re not using it. Other apps don’t actually do that. TikTok can literally see what you’re doing rn on your phone. It is extremely dangerous and I cannot stress this enough.

I thought Microsoft was going to buy it.

Well I'm not from the US so I could still use it but honestly I wonder how is this going to impact the music industry, many of the latest hits were bc of those tiktok trends.

not when 911 out :saladga:

Versions of the app already installed will stay functional but will not be allowed to get any update or technical support from the parent company.  Basically everyone’s tiktok will still work but whenever another US company comes out with a better alternative, people will flock as eventually the tiktok app will feel dated.
