@SumKindaMunster hmm 🤔

Shifting control of spyware from one country to another..
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@darknessprevails I suppose
It’s silly. It also won’t stop people from connecting through other sources. Another app or site will be made, and people can share video or live streams of things that are going on around the world like they’re doing now on TikTok.

Couldn't care less. If the entire Internet ended right now the world would be a better place.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@hunkalove agreed
Iwillwait · M
I see it as a total financial move with a forced sell out.
chrisCA · M
@Iwillwait I am sure Zuckerberg and Musk have a hand in it.
Iwillwait · M
@chrisCA Possibly, but I am thinking it's more than that, the company that developed the platform was known for spyware in their other ventures.My IT guy immediately stated this was a bad BAD idea for people to be on.
Elessar · 26-30, M
That it should've happened way earlier.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Elessar agreed
Lilymoon · F
nothing could concern me any less than this.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Lilymoon good I am glad!
I guess it means JohnnyO will be back.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@MsSwan watch all those users come here 😂
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
Never use it
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Justmeraeagain its more for the younger crowd but yeah

@jshm2 when the app is successfully banned I wonder what you will say then hmm 🤔
morrgin · F
Dude is from Singapore and US government can't seem to wrap their heads around it
chrisCA · M
@morrgin [media=https://tiktok.com/7330484650823011585]
Elessar · 26-30, M
@morrgin The nationality of the CEO is pure deflection. The corporation as a whole is owned by the Chinese government. They can sell it to a Singaporean subject and it won't be banned.

Similarly, S. Nadella is Indian and that doesn't make Microsoft an Indian company.
Howudoin · 41-45, M
What is tik tok?
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Howudoin dumb social media app
Howudoin · 41-45, M
@Hanginginthere yeah, sorry, I'm aware of it. Don't use it though. Was being facetious
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Howudoin ahh 😂
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
Never been there.
Doesn't appeal to me from all I've seen and heard.

Nobody's questioning Google's motives for exactly the same thing though.
Nor Facebook's ownership of so much western social media.

Funny that.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Picklebobble2 that’s because Facebook wasn’t made in china it’s actually banned there
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
@Hanginginthere ....because Meta does exactly the same for U.S. 'intelligence agencies' ?
That accusation has been around since they bought out YouTube and started cancelling anti government posts
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Picklebobble2 that may be true but as I understand how they put it, the concern is how china is spying on us through the app whereas china can’t do that through fb or Instagram 🤷🏾‍♂️ either way it doesn’t matter to me as I don’t use tik tok
morrgin · F
My daughter said sobbing, screaming, crying, throwing up
morrgin · F
@Hanginginthere my daughter is 13
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@morrgin I was talking to the other guy
morrgin · F
chrisCA · M
It's silly.
I think there are more important things for American politicians to worry about.
They will just further alienate young voters.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@chrisCA also true
RenFur · 70-79, M
Trump is suddenly against the ban... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 🤔
RenFur · 70-79, M
@Hanginginthere

There has to be money (personal enrichment) behind his reversal on this. If he ever becomes POTUS again, do you think his bank account will miraculously balloon? You know, like Putin's?
@RenFur yea cause he's pro China and pro Russia
RenFur · 70-79, M
@orioninthenight

Most of all, Donny's pro Trump.
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
I don't use it so if it is gone i won't miss it. Im odd i don't do much social media. I only use FB for my comedy.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@LilPrincess it's not odd it's actually good!
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
I'm not saying whether it should or shouldn't go.. but if it did I wouldn't miss it at all
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@caPnAhab fair enough
heavyone2 · 61-69, M
Ban it.... we got warned so...get rid of it. Xiomi phones were doing the same...
akindheart · 61-69, F
@heavyone2 huawei was banned too.
heavyone2 · 61-69, M
@akindheart yep... of course the rest probably are just the same..lol.
Dumbman · 36-40
Same is with Instagram reels, and youtube shorts
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Dumbman you don’t like it or?
Dumbman · 36-40
@Hanginginthere no I don’t
iamnikki · 31-35, F
Wouldn't make a difference in my life, never used it.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@iamnikki same
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
I think it's great. I don't trust the app as is and won't use it.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Starcrossed I won’t use it either
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
Yay, more political tension in the world...
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
Raaii · 22-25, F
[c=804600] it's banned here in my country since some years [/c]
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Raaii yes I heard it’s been banned in India
SW-User
It doesn’t bother me. I don’t use it.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@SW-User same here
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
I don’t even really know what it is.

BigImo · 22-25, F
It's a disaster for democracy and human rights but people think it's good cos a trend mildly annoyed them a few years ago
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@BigImo well cry me a river it’s getting banned if you like it or not 😂🤷🏾‍♂️
BigImo · 22-25, F
@Hanginginthere doesn't effect me cos I'm not American but Americans should be seriously concerned about it
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@BigImo not really it isn’t important those millions of users can find more productive things to do.
Catzgano · 31-35, F
I had to delete it
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Catzgano good?
akindheart · 61-69, F
i am all for it. we were warned it was the Chinese gathering our personal info and so i never joined nor do i watch anything from tik tok.
jackson55 · M
Could care less. Never used it.
I thought it's so pathetic that they ban the apps that don't have any surveillance or apartheid systems but they don't mind Facebook and Instagram
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Reserved it’s more of a china thing that’s how I’m understanding it
Azlotto · M
I couldn’t care less.
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
I won't miss it.
