A president more worried about Tik Tok than anything else he promised before the election isn’t a good president.

But I can't deny the libertarian in me questions an executive order - from any president - telling people what apps that can and cannot download or what companies they can and cannot use.
Meanwhile, Google and Facebook are selling our information as quickly as possible and Congress grants them special privileges. We live in a clown world.

Idk, there was a time when myspace was the craze. Then FB, insta, snapchat, etc.

Ok, this will make things just a little more interesting.

i also don't think this is a great move before election.. you take away many teens favorite app and they will head to the polls for the first time
let me repeat our own intelligence agency found no foul play with tiktok.. this ban is disgusting if you're into freedom

WILL SOMEBODY THINK OF THE "INFLUENCERS"?!

tiktok is just a scapegoat to get the public behind incredibly harmful adversarial relations with China. pure facts. literally nobody needs to be concerned with tiktok in the grand scheme of security.
reminds me of boomers always worried about identity theft lol and how they used to be scared of the "internet" lol

Our government has intel that Tik Tok is feeding mass amounts of user data to the Chinese government, who is or already are using it back against the US.
Tik Tok isn't the playful video sharing app that it portrays itself to be.
Since you seem to be a "Trump can do no wrong" type of guy...I'd be curious to know what type of data is being fed to the Chinese govt and how they're planning to use it.
Also, how that data is any different than what is publicly available across Facebook posts and the like which are in the public domain (and which they could and probably are crawling).
Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about China?

The African community in Guangzhou is on edge after widespread accounts were shared on social media of people being left homeless this week, as China's warnings against imported coronavirus cases stoke anti-foreigner sentiment.
In the southern Chinese city, Africans have been evicted from their homes by landlords and turned away from hotels, despite many claiming to have no recent travel history or known contact with Covid-19 patients.
CNN interviewed more than two dozen Africans living in Guangzhou many of whom told of the same experiences: being left without a home, being subject to random testing for Covid-19, and being quarantined for 14 days in their homes, despite having no symptoms or contact with known patients.
