Lmao

I don't like the reasons or logic behind his proposition, but I damn would like something like tik-tok and twitter to be eliminated

Any app developer I am sure would be welcome to make a proposal to straighten out and correct their info-stealing-shit-app that they got caught on, and apologize for their commie level theft, and we could move forward as one big happy family.

He just wants to ban this app because it is Chinese.
Everything that comes from China gives Trump a headache and his moves just make China even stronger in the end and the US citizens start to turn their back on Trump's decisions.

At one point Tic Tok was accessing the data in your phone's clipboard as frequently as every keystroke made in the App. It also has access to location data, such as where you are anytime you give the app access to your location.

The later can be used to figure out where you both work and live. Given that many people post videos having to do with your their occupation, TicTok can potentially be used to find locations of workplaces in various industries. It could also be used to measure economic activity, know where population centers are specifically.

The app also apparently collects much more data about your phone than most other social media apps collect. I am sure there are other privacy implications to this other data collection, both on an individual, and population level.

I guess he told microsoft he 'might let them buy tiktok in America, as long as it's separate from China'.

Selling it to Microsoft is a great idea - TikTok would be dead within a year, problem solved.

Seems a bit weird that the President has that sort of authority given how ingrained Tiktok is with the millennial crowd. It's a social media platform that was as big as Vine back in the day. Don't think Trump is wrong in his thinking, but maybe wrong in his approach. Tiktok is retarded and a waste of time don't get me wrong, and the app is being used for data mining by Chinese companies, but a complete ban seems like executive overreach. I wouldn't be surprised to see this sort of precedent be abused when more apps start to dominate the market and companies start data mining like hell because we know it's coming. But on that note, I've seen people on the left openly defend the CCP's attempt at using spying apps so it's clear they don't have the answer either.

Congressional regulation of Tiktok, maybe?

Heh, no -- the executive has such broad powers when it comes to issues of national security that it does make sense that the President has this authority. Given the fact that Congress (over the last two decades since 9/11) have surrendered much of their power to the executive.

I do truly think that TikTok is a privacy concern, and they are gathering the data of Americans and sharing it with the Chinese. I'm assuming that the admin has more info on this that we're not too privy too, there probably is some involvement of the Chinese government in making sure that it blew up. We'll see what comes next for this company. I'm expecting a sale to a US company with the blessing of the US government.

“We’re looking at TikTok," Trump said earlier Friday. "We may be banning TikTok. We may be doing some others things,” Trump told reporters at the White House Friday morning. “We are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to TikTok.”

According to this news, if trump bans the tiktok, will it be ban only in the US or worldwide ?
I never used tiktok much because i always thought it is waste of time but i am shocked to know that it can be exploited by the countries to gather the personal data.

Trump can only create new policies in the US. So the policies we creates will only affect tiktok operations in the US (this not only means users, but also servers, etc). He can tell the other world leaders to do the same, but there is no guarantee anyone will follow him.

The tik tok app is also banned in India. I think this is mainly because of anti-China policies and more so because of Covid 19 stuffs. Also there's probability that the app is kind of spy that's collecting datas from phone. While I haven't read much about it, neither have I ever downloaded the app, I can't really say if it's good or bad to ban. But if government does ban it, they must have a good reason behind it!

Me too, I have never downloaded it.

I find myself to be a joke if I also do those dance craze that is being done through Tiktok. Most mature people wouldn't care about the banning of Tiktok but those hard users who do like the app will feel bad on this barring by Trump.

Tiktok should be banned as it's not secure and sells the information to China. It could have been a great platform to promote talented artists but unfortunately people later started uploading videos where they were promoting guns and other violence. Such platforms need to go through moderation.

Most of the users of this Tiktok app are youth so they are not that knowledgeable about the security. Once they see that the Tiktok app has a lot of users, they will also use it just to come up with the new trend. Some of the Tiktok users are not that aware about the hazards of social media. They should make another app that is more secured than this app if they still want to showcase their talents in the social media. Privacy should be prioritized as it can make your life at risk.

Younger generation or millennials don't care much about privacy and security. It is like their whole life revolves around social media. So this declaration from Trump is just a precaution not to breach the security of his citizens. Not a Tiktok user but I know a lot of my friends using it. Actually, as much as possible I avoided social media nowadays. Your life will become toxic if you get hooked to these socmed.

I am not sure how many TikTok users are there on this forum,

Tiktok is quite popular around the world, so I'll estimate that the forum has quite a lot of TikTok users. The U.S banning TikTok was always inevitable, America will be closing so many other things that connects them with China, there's a muted war going on between them, so every means of supporting their economy or to get data, info or any means of espionage will be cut off.

Definitely, TikTok users in the United States will not take kindly to this declaration by Donald Trump, but this move is very well needed for the U.S to take an upper hand, China generates billions from the app, and it's more popular in India and the U.S, India have banned it and now America, that's somewhat an economic blow, with more to come.

The TikTok application is currently the most popular application among teenagers and young people because of their enjoyment with hundreds of millions of users.
and every Chinese company is required by Chinese regulations to provide information stored on their networks to Chinese authorities if requested, and there are many other reasons to worry about even though there are many other applications besides Tiktok.

Tiktok is just one popular app on the list but definitely its not the only one, in India more than 100 apps were banned for security reasons and they have list of 275+ apps in the reviewing list so in future there maybe more apps will be banned if it violates the private data.

oh no what if China steals all of our dance moves and then uses our locations to track us down and challenge us to dance-offs? We will be completely unprepared and rattled when they put us on the spot by doing our own routine. CCP is savage, classy, bougie, ratchet....

Did you ever watched anything bad about China on Tiktok App? I bet you cannot because that is how their moderation works so its not really about the videos its about the user's data.In 21 st century privacy data is more valuable asset than anything.
