Do you really feel they will ban Tik Tok?

You know, they really shouldnt have to ban it. Stupid fucking Americans should know enough to not use it on their own. Trying to force the CCP out of it is a fools errand. They may as well outright ban it.

Trump is wrong on this only because TikTok is a national security threat and an information threat to those who use it. I promise you the CCP knows everything typed into a phone with their spyware on it.

Goodbye, Chinese Spyware. Hello, American Spyware!

I feel a ban wouldn't work.

I think in all honesty, we all know that even if the chanks agree to get out of it, they wont really be out of it. Its a fucked situation due to Americans being shallow and straight up fucking STUPID!

I do not feel the USA can block all young Americans from getting access to Tik Tok anymore than they can keep illegal drugs out of their hands.

Don't tell the control-obsessed nimrods in DC but unless they also ban VPNs then cutting off TikTok downloads/connections to the USA isn't going to have as much impact as they're claiming.

Then again they're smart enough to know that already, right?

Further proof it's more posturing and desperation from an authoritarian regime watching its grip on the narratives slip ever faster through its greasy blood-stained fingers. They may succeed in cutting off some people who aren't interested in or capable of running a VPN but those people aren't the ones they should be worried about anyway. All the establishment will really accomplish is further radicalizing the people who already don't believe or trust them very much.

Idiots.

They are not serious about banning Tik Tok.

They can't abide a wildly popular social media platform that isn't already infiltrated by the FBI, NSA, etc.

A wildcard like TikTok is dangerous to their interests when they've already decided to provoke a war with China and are simply waiting for the best opportunity to do so. Shutting off that flow of information (enough of it, anyway) from a rogue platform that must be expected to not toe the anti-China line is one of the objectives they have to reach before launching hostilities, otherwise they could lose public support rapidly (as has happened with the Palestinian issue).

Sure, the 'Murican establishment would rather control TikTok.
Wouldn't that be sweet.
But if they can't control it they have to either silence it or destroy it.

Tik Tok is here to stay. Sure, I think it makes kids dumb(er), but they like it and they will get it. Even if it did fold, something equally retarded would replace it straight away.

It is rumored that Steve Mnuchin is interested in buying Tik Tok. Out with the Chinese influence and in with the MAGA.
