I am not sure how many TikTok users are there on this forum, but I had never downloaded this app due to privacy concerns. Also many people are not happy with Trump’s move to ban this app, but I feel that they do not yet understand how their privacy has been invaded, and why it’s best for everyone if this app is banned for good. Furthermore I’m keen to know your views regarding this app would you yet use it knowing very well that your privacy is being invaded, or you’ll uninstall it and reclaim your privacy?.
Really? I thought it's just FaceApp that has issues on security and privacy. Apparently, TikTok got some privacy issues, too.

Glad I'm not a TikTok user. I downloaded it once but I don't really know how to use it and the internet connection in our place is so poor, so I uninstalled it at once. Guess my ignorance is somehow a blessing in disguise.

But I've seen my some people use TikTok as a way to provide information or lessons in a particular subject which is, of course, timely because classes can't be done traditionally so it's helpful in that aspect. However, knowing it's got some issues, Tiktok users should be very careful esp Americans since China shows appetite on their personal data, as stated.

Banning an app just because you saw what you consider wrong and because you have the right isn't so justifiable. It's more like taking people's choice out of their hands, like they've got no free will, ate dummies and don't know any better.
It's more easier to publicize the menace that can arose from the use of the app rather than banning an app that haven't violated any laws except otherwise.

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.

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....

Yes, CCP is savage do you have a problem?

CCP is the reason why we have this deadly virus, CCP is the reason why every Chinese citizen does not have human right and I can go on and on.

You want you face scanned and your privacy violated by a bunch of CCP goons then go ahead and use that app no one is asking you not too.

Definitely uninstall. Finally someone is stepping up to the Chinese madness. Just look all the software that is banned in China - so they can copy it from the West and make their own software with the exact same features - just controlled by the communist party. It's good we are doing the same now and should ban more stuff from China - time to fight back. It's not only about privacy it's also about political statements.

“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.”

While TikTok is largely seen as an app for young people, it tracks phone locations and users’ metadata, like many apps, and China has a demonstrated appetite for Americans’ personal data. TikTok has also faced repeated accusations of censoring content unappetizing to Beijing, prompting fears that the app’s popularity serves as an extension of China’s influence.
