My 15 days old looked at me and said: "surely, now the libertarians realize that in a world with foreign powers and ultra rich lobby groups the free market sometimes needs to be limited by the government to preserve the social fabric and the cultural values?"
It's an app under control of the CCP that has been proven to be spying on American citizens. This is a national security issue. You can't argue that about just a Breitbart app in good faith.
Then we do, and we make our case to the American people. If demogogues and censorship and letting our country be ripped apart by foreigners is what they are selling, I will take that challenge on. There is money to be made doing the opposite of what these demons want. As the man says: America is a business
Like if Dems get power and they wanna ban a conservative app, they might.
They don't have power and they've virtually done that already with their shadow banning and Conservative censorship/purges. How long should that continue without any pushback?
Fair point. I'd contend those businesses are working in conjunction with government entities to enact their censorship/purges. They're straddling the line. We already know the incestual relationship between politicians/government workers and the media. It's been mapped out plenty of times. The same goes for social media. It's just not as obvious because they're not stupid/brazen enough to broadcast it for the world to see.
Sort of...but those private businesses were granted unique legal protections under Section 238. The sort of protection they received is usually reserved for municipal monopolies and utilities. In this case, those protections actually created the monopoly. Section 238 had strict requirements for these companies to adhere to, unfortunately they were allowed to place their thumbs on the scales in the Obama administration. This was allowed because social media/big tech was heavily integrated into the Obama political machine, and the Obama administration was waging an all out war on grassroot conservatism in order to get reelected. In 2016, it was evident that big tech, social media, and the DNC has basically merged as personnel metriculated freely between the Clinton campaign and the panoply of tech and media companies.
The media report little, so I understand your comment. However, so much has been happening and now a bunch of Chinese and Hong Kong banks are due for US sanctions soon.
The US is now fighting back economically, it's full on economic war and the US is winning.
Before the virus let's remember where China was. They were so desperate to get rid of tariffs they signed a trade deal where they agreed to buy $millions $ in US goods in exchange just for a potential phase two trade deal where tariffs would be removed.
Why do you think the media glorified Tik Tok nurses despite their narrative and continued to do so for a while after people were questioning the empty hospitals?
Look downvote me all day idc but if Trump bans tiktoc low iq leftards who posted about bernie all day but couldn't be bothered to vote might actually be more likely to cast the opposition ballot. Let the chicoms abuse our liberties, its up to google and apple to ban apps for breaking the rules (like, idk, uploading all clipboard data to chicom servers)
Fight the american companies restricting speech. Let idiots who wanna use chicom tech be idiots, i really dont think theyre a big part of the voter base
What do we do about websites that censor free speech? Is banning them out-right any better? I'm not sure it is. I'd rather see regulation to protect free speech on these platforms first. Non-compliance would incur heavy fines; continued non-compliance = national level ban.
lol my daughter was using it when it was Musical.ly and then i noticed all the perverts. god rid of that quickly. tik tok is a cesspool but IMO instagram and twitter are even worse for society as a whole
what other consequences will china pay on top of this?
Lots and lots more coming for sure. Trump has China by the balls as they need US dollars. The other option the CCP has is to let their currency freely float and then so many Chinese will just get their cash out of China.
Even the brain dead democratic leadership should be able to see how corrosive this Chinese spyware bullshit is to our entire system. Everyone got together this week to shit on China for chimping out on Hong Kong - and even Pelosi was voted in favor of what Trump wanted: sanctions, removing Hong Kong from all sorts of special and normal business and international agreements between the island and the U.S. Come together and banish these fucking assholes and their totalitarian ware. Do it legally, be smart, but do it!
Any tech nerds claiming their share prices will take a hit by not being part of the Chinese economic miracle? Hang em high. We'll find another tech nerd.
I am training journalists to code every day and they are making gainz. Former OC Register and Chicago Tribune writers are learning the differences between ' and `
Reddit is going down.
My eight-year old saw that Tik Tok news story and immediately said, "and Reddit too, right?"
My 1 month old looked at me and said, "surely, they won't seize the memes of production, father?"
And then everyone clapped

Ha! My not even existing yet second child just said “the only good commie is one thrown from a helicopter.”
I couldn’t be a more proud father.
Fetus MacWomb strikes again

That would be fun to watch
Millennial girls will be sooo triggered.
If this is true, holy shit thedonald.win Alexa rank go super brrrrrrr
Certainly will be included under the blanket term 'chinese social media apps'.
Anything chinese. Get rid of it
Hopefully Smithfield Foods is made Virginian again.
The Chinese ban any of our companies that don't bow. If a US company does business in China, there is a 99% chance they are compromised.
Time for them to get a taste of their own medicine. Payback's a bitch.
It really made me happy to see that Chinese 5G equipment was banned.
Ban WeChat. It's directly tied to the Chinese Government.
It is also what the daigou scum use.
Every company over 100 people is tied to the government, they have to have a political party member with veto on their board
How so?
It’s a requirement I’m China when running a big businesses
Made by Google.
It's an app under control of the CCP that has been proven to be spying on American citizens. This is a national security issue. You can't argue that about just a Breitbart app in good faith.
The left doesn’t argue in good faith 😞

Fuck these wealth destroying cunts
No, the constitution protection doesn't apply to foreign apps - especially when national security is compromised.

perhaps highly regulate it somehow to prevent data from going "back home to China"
I hope so for your sake, the Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.
India banned 59 apps: https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news/checkout-the-name-of-the-chinese-banned-apps-in-india/articleshow/76696132.cms
Should have nailed Reddit as well for an even 60.
Send a message to the government of India to ban reddit and tell them its Chinese spyware
It was suspected and recently has been proven.
We've seen odd moves in off shore yuan, and now the administration is talking like this. Something has changed. Brace yourselves pedes.
The media report little, so I understand your comment. However, so much has been happening and now a bunch of Chinese and Hong Kong banks are due for US sanctions soon.

This is beyond politics, this is about national security

China uses tiktok to push propaganda.
Why do you think the media glorified Tik Tok nurses despite their narrative and continued to do so for a while after people were questioning the empty hospitals?
Im 23 dude, never even used that junk in my life. I don't care about TikTok.
DO IT!!
Our kids are being fed propaganda and having their info farmed.
FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
DO IT!
I know people who use it, though they arent political that I know of so they're gonna be pissed lol.
Someone just needs to make an American replacement, wouldn't be that hard imo.
Yes, ban Chinese/China everything including Tik Tok TRUMP TRAIN— MAGA/KAG—2020 💥🇺🇸
Look downvote me all day idc but if Trump bans tiktoc low iq leftards who posted about bernie all day but couldn't be bothered to vote might actually be more likely to cast the opposition ballot.

TikTok and all other companies owned by the CCP are a threat to our national security.
What do we do about websites that censor free speech? Is banning them out-right any better? I'm not sure it is. I'd rather see regulation to protect free speech on these platforms first. Non-compliance would incur heavy fines; continued non-compliance = national level ban.
Reddit's shitting bricks right about now. China owns a significant chunk of it.
Their old theme worked perfectly on mobile so there is no reason OTHER THEN DATA COLLECTION/THEFT for them to have and push their app so hard.
lol my daughter was using it when it was Musical.ly and then i noticed all the perverts. god rid of that quickly. tik tok is a cesspool but IMO instagram and twitter are even worse for society as a whole
DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!!
These are a huge national security risk and that is why India had to ban them also.
Pleeeeeeeeeeease.
If India has blocked it then no reason that America cant block it.
Cut China out of our lives completely. More trouble than they are worth.
Do it nikka. Fuck em
Shit’s gotta go, dog.
Hell, what other consequences will china pay on top of this?
Lots and lots more coming for sure. Trump has China by the balls as they need US dollars. The other option the CCP has is to let their currency freely float and then so many Chinese will just get their cash out of China.
Where else will I go to view Trump supporters? ... Seriously, there's a huge MAGA contingent on the tok.
jk, burn the sucker!
Dew it
All those medical workers posting their COVID care cases must have particularly been really funny to Beijing.
This should include everything a Chinese company owns in the US. China needs to give everything away and GET OUT.
DO IT!
but if tiktok gets banned how will ethots pimp their premium snapchat?
Instagram and Reddit. Nothing will change for them. If they have those extra users, they keep them.
How about banning Chinese people from coming into America?
Chess master, now real journalists are going to be asking what's in Tik Tok.
TikTok thots cancelled
DO IT! Drop the hammer, Mr. President. If you're gonna go down, go down swinging like Jake LaMotta.
It was hard to break that 1776 up vote but needed to be done
Kill it with Hell Fire!
I want it but I don't know how it can happen legally.
Directing what agency to do what exactly?
YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
My 12-year old daughter will lose her shit, but oh well...

We are making real progress!
I used to have TikTok on my phone until I realized that it’s only full of TikTok dances, and it bans a bunch of things that I care about!
I love Reddit but I also understand that it’s not anywhere near the typical American.
But my country is the most important thing to me (it’s tied with my spirituality for 1-A).
Please fucking do it. Comminist china can shove tiktok up its ass. Also it isn't even allowed in China cause they know it rots brains.
PLZ DOLAN PLZ NO
STFU XI
Start with banning military members from using anything. (Not joking: fucking ban it)
YES
