Not a smart strategy to use a communist-controlled piece of software.

Wise move on Trump's part.
We get it, you prefer the home grown spying on you that trumps NSA does.

They are. Smooth move by Trump that pushed along Microsoft's move to buy it. They can dismantle the spying features.

What Trump is going to accomplish with this is to alienate millions of young voters. Let him go ahead and ban it, if he really thinks he can.

Also, have any of Trump's advisers considered the blowback from Gen Z?! A quick Google search shows that there are 40,000,000 Tik Tok users in the USA, and over 70% are under 25. And they're gonna be PISSED if Donny takes away their favorite social media outlet.

Taking Time Tok from Gen Z would be like taking facebook from Boomers LOL. but I doubt Trump's team even thought about that before he went on a crusade to ban Til Tok, because he is surrounded by idiots.
yup, classic trump.

this is the real reason it's being banned.
just like why huawei is banned for being #1 is 5G technology.
and DJI for being top dog in the UAV space.

the US govt clearly sees that their technological dominance is being challenged so they have to resort to banning the competition and threatening allies to do the same.

I kinda understand if the app has malicious intent towards national security... but don't we have better things to worry about?
was this ever proven? everything that I've read was that it was based solely on fear that it was happening.
proving this is very simple, given that these apps are being installed on iOS and Android platforms.

The best part of 2020 so far, has been watching the Democrat lunatics lose their friggin minds, over Trump banning Tik-Tok.
All this after spending the last 4 years trying to cancel everyone from social media, because of election meddling.

So much for bragging about freedoms in general and freedom of speech in particular.
Everybody knew it was never the case, but such an epic fail in front of the whole world audience - well done, bro!

I think we have enough social media platforms rotting kids brains enough of this garbage.

I'm surprised Zuck didn't buy it to add another monopoly under his belt.
