As Congress contemplates barring Americans from using TikTok, fans of the app are calling their representatives in droves, and Donald Trump can’t decide which side he’s on.

I hope the clock is running down on the GOP House of Representatives…tick-tock, tick-tock.
The only TikTok Donnie should worry about is the one coming from his own personal doomsday clock.
Because Meta and Twitter don’t spy on us?
On the same grounds the rest of the world should ban office 365, Meta, Google, Apple, … Now! Do it!
I’d be in favor of banning TikTok if it ended the saga of who can out-stupid who with the next harmful prank or trend. However let’s be real, every company out there would be just as eager to fill that role and it’d probably be YouTube. It wouldn’t change anything.
Honestly, between the Chinese government and American(?) CEOs, I’m not sure which I’d trust less with my personal information. Neither has my best interests at heart.
Here is a question someone should ask congress, where do think that phone that has tik tok installed on it was made? The router in your home you are connected to? The infotainment system in your car? The 6 TVs in your house, where were they made? China made products that have data collection capabilities are woven into the American lifestyle and you are worried about one single app? And for some extra fun, flip over that red MAGA hat and read the tag, it says MADE IN….
I was going to say I’m old enough to remember the Web in the 1990s and that there’s nothing wrong with website owners, in the capacity of them being community leaders, to protest against new laws and asking the users to do what they can. But then I remembered that this is just not the case anymore. If a billion dollar website tells their millions of users to do a thing, how much of that thinking is about “we need to do what’s genuinely the best and most rational thing for the community” and how much of it is about “I have a giant website/app and a whole lot of idiot users who do just what I tell them to, and we need to do what’s best for my bank account”?
I’m old enough to remember when they tried to ban rock and roll as a threat to national security.
Yes, an app developer should not allowed to share user data with a government… but of course, they should be able to sell that data for profit to any and all companies that are willing to pay for it.
it’s not just tiktok. from what this one’s been told, the law would allow the government to ban ANY social media they suspect could be a security risk. And given how things have been going, do you think ANY government should have that kind of power? Whether you lean left or right, progressive, conservative, or regressive, we should all agree that the government, especially EITHER government that could take power in 2025, shouldn’t be able to ban social media so easily.
Especially since if it were really such a security risk, pretty sure there’s already ways to shut it down.
Hey if the government could stop trying to restrict rights to internet usage that’d be real cool and human of them.
The only thing we can get a bipartisan agreement on is this…? What a joke. 🤦🏼♀️
China telling Americans their rights are infringed is comedy gold.
People’s idiocy is astonishing…
They can try and ban TikTok something most Americans don’t want but they still haven’t gotten rid of Daylight Savings Time something most Americans do want.
The US should not ban TikTok, but they should severely restrict the data mining all social media platforms abuse.
Idc if they ban tik tok, but i do wish they’d ban TRUMP.
This is one of the many reasons that we need term limits for Congress and the Senate. These people are so out of touch with the real world.
Isn’t Elon Musk South African?
Really instead of lowering the cost of living
The prohibition of TikTok unless it is sold is a measure that appears logical primarily within the United States. Even as someone who does not use TikTok, it’s evident to me that concerns over national security are not the real issue here. Is this really how competition is now being approached, by exerting pressure on another country? It’s as if we’re suggesting that if China were to require Apple to sell its operations in China to Huawei, citing national security reasons, it would be seen as a comparable action.
“You aren’t a Hufflepuff. You’re in Marketing!” 😂😂 killed me. A+ joke.
Could you start regulating US American freaking social media corporations too??
US is worried China is doing with TikTok what we do with Google, Facebook, Twitter, and every other website that contains ads….
“You’re not in Huffelpuff, you’re in marketing!”
This 33 y/o would like to think one can be both!!
Regulate social media. They all collect our info. 🖕
All social media needs to be reigned in with a vengence.
It’s such a crap because Google, Facebook, Amazon all collect our data and how many times have you talked about something and suddenly you have ads for it across all your platforms?
So hilarious seeing people freaking out about phone apps
Oh please this has nothing you do with security. Our representatives deserve every single uncomfortable call
It is simply amazing how fast Congress can move on this issue when they refuse to move on much much more important things.
As a boomer, my question with selling tiktok is how does that guarantee that the new owners wouldn’t also sell information? Isn’t that exactly what Facebook and Twitter did/does?
And of course the fact TikTok has been showing everyone what’s actually happening in Gaza has nothing to do with this bill, right?
