I mean. I trust US advertisers and corporations about as much as I trust the Chinese government and I hand over data to the former every second I'm on my phone so...

This. It's so strange how Americans act so concerned about tiktok's data privacy when data is being handed over by so many apps all over the world  But I guess anti-China sentiment runs deep in the US lol

Good. TikTok is dumbing down the newer generations of Americans. 
 

china knows what it’s doing.

This.

Banning TikTok is a show pony, fear mongering tactic to validate the older generation’s fear of technology and eliminating an impactful way that young people quickly share information. 

Make no mistake - this is more about politics at home than abroad. 

Remember when youth on TikTok disrupted one of Trump’s pep rallies? I assume Republicans didn’t like that.

Also, look at the states that the ban is active in. Republican, conservative states,

Why would Government employees have TikTok on their work phone anyway? They wouldn’t. Sure, ban it from work phones - you should be working anyway.

If someone in China is collecting information about Marketing, they will find other ways to do it and Congress knows it.

This is theatre.
 

Exactly. Old conservatives can’t deal with the fact they’re a dying generation and some of them just want to f*ck up as much sh*t as they can before they completely disappear.

Should other countries be concerned about American owned apps? That American apps are spying on other countries using app tech? Ban all American apps?

This is scary. And the fact that people in here are supporting it is also scary. A lot of people view it as a music app, but the algorithm is more centered around interests than monetization because of how they monetize in the first place. Which means that content doesn't need large user platforms in order to be shared widely or pay Tik Tok in order to be promoted. This is one of the ways the younger generation has started sharing information among it's campuses, cities, states, and even nationally. And blocking the app is nothing more than an attempt at censorship by Republicans after they got their asses handed to them last month. If you have the autonomy to own guns, you have the autonomy to own a app. 

Preach.

Republicans doing what they do best: being dictators.

Don't fall for this crap. If the app is banned, just wait and see what else will be banned in the US. This is not good AT ALL. They will start banning everything and we will end up like Russia. This is what Republicans want. They can yell freedom all they want, but they really want this country to be a dictatorship.
