Remember, this is all Donald Trump’s fault for starting the TikTok ban back in 2020 and now him taking credit for “fixing” his own problems and to try to get the younger people on his side. AOC did a video explaining how it was rushed, didn’t show any substantial evidence of the app being a threat to national security, etc. They just realized how many people will be pissed in America if TikTok got banned. Really, screw US tech companies for lobbying the US government to have weak or no privacy protection laws. |

And yet, Biden receives credit for signing bipartisan law-one of few time both D and R agree on something. 
Calling it xenophobia is disingenuous. I have three children and two grandchildren in IT, all refuse to have TT on any device, work or personal. After hearing about backend of TT security, encryption, and data collection and dissemination policy, there was good reason why many IT professionals agreed with Biden policy decision to ban it. Now if Biden could have done something about X and FB too. |

I view it as just desserts. Never mind the potential social influences or data collection concerns, all western social media platforms are inaccessible in China. If it's acceptable for their government to do that, then it's fair game for every international government to do that with Chinese platforms. From a business perspective, that seems very one-sided. The Chinese platforms gain access to western customers, but western business aren't given access to Chinese customers. Hilariously, there's definitely an alternate universe where Musical.ly doesn't get rebranded as Tiktok and instead dies on the ... Vine. Great job, OG Twitter crew. |

Nothing to do with China or security. And no, I am not stupid enough to post who lobbied for the ban and why (do not need to end up on someone's s***list).
I was rather p***ed at Samsung for installing Tik Tok as part of an update on my phone, since I do federal government contracting and FAR 52.204-27 makes having the app installed illegal.
