Its absolutely a genuine concern whether these tiktok kids wanna accept that or not. So many people are just totally ignorant of what is going on in the world and the threats certain things pose.
The problem is America upholds the first amendment, which is freedom of speech, but American leaders always go back on that. It's only a security concern because people are now starting to criticse the American government for their crimes all around the world for the last few decades that were swept under the rug. Mainstream media are funded by the government and push the narrative of the government, people are fed up of being lied to. Tiktok allows normal people to be their own media. There's a reason why Meta or X isn't considered a security concern, they rub noses with the government and do as they're told. It's 2025, nobody's letting fox news and cnn tell them who to fear and who not to fear.
No difference, we get information taken by nato governments or Chinese. Or propaganda from western or eastern news. Why should the us government restrict what information the people are receiving
@ Most braindead take. Tiktok is directly owned by ByteDance, which is a chinese company. There's a direct relation to China and to operate in the country, they are essentially forced to listen and comply with the Chinese government.

Nah its just facts, disinformation is a huge problem, ameriacans do it, russians do it and chinese also do it. Unless you have better arguments other than just calling it propoganda.
@@lampad4549why not ban or heavily sanction the other social media platforms that spread just as much if not more misinformation such as X or Facebook? They’ll hardly come out and admit that they’ve done this in an attempt to slow down chinas progress in the ongoing tech/information war they are engaged in, and because they can’t under their own decided pretence get access to tik-toks user data and algorithms to gag any potential internal leaks that may come out and be pushed to users on the platform.
It's not banned here as of yet but as an American, I honestly wouldn't be mad if it does happen because I've always thought of it as an even cringier version of Vine and I've never understood why everyone is so obsessed with it. All the teenagers would want me burned at the stake for saying that because they're a huge reason why it's so big in the first place but it's just how I personally feel about the matter and I don't even support Trump or really any political figure here, so make of that what you will
Also the only big media app that isn't run by meta or Elon (both affiliated with American government to censoring the users) and after the ban tiktok and it coming back ppl noticed alot of things being different like some vids you can only share to 1 person some words being completely blocked out
government officials dont care about brainrot content mate. theyre concerned that the american people actually have a solid voice for once through tiktok, it shows global content that is usually censored on other apps like facebook and instagram. it also has a better chance than any other social media app to help you go from rags to riches. people arent mad because their memes are gone. theyre outraged because a so called "free country" wants to ban an app for not a good enough reason. you can blame china and cyber security issues but i promise you america is more worried about tiktok than china ever was.
I know it doesn't sound right when you guys say “i'm team China now”, but to be fair, actual China is very much loved in the US. From the food to the games that are making quite the splash these days in the US (not to mention the apps that have blown up from there, including Tiktok) so yeah, even Americans like China... but that doesn't mean we have to like the Chinese government. Also, Trump has said that he has a special place in his heart for Tik Tok, so he's in talks with the CEO to bring it back as soon as possible.
@ For sure, but I wasn't saying anything insulting to them, just passively adding my opinion, and he just shows up being unnecessarily aggressive, hence my response 🤷♂
If East Asians don't care about animals they shouldn't be pet owners. Too many Asians getting dogs and cats as pets. And I hate pets but that's why I don't have one lol
I dont think the "sidemen fans" are mature enough to learn or give their opinions about politics lmao
Well, they’ve been around so long that they have some older fans, but for the most part, I’d agree lol
@seren.khadka47 why not even the youngest sidemen fan is probably better educated than 50% of America. Voters

Buddy you’re too young to even understand wtf is going on a company can be owned by a parent company which is patently owned by… chinaaaaaa
i love the sidemen but as an american they dunno what they talking about
I'm confused, what did they get wrong in this clip? The concerns Vik raised for Tiktok in America are accurate
@@RandomVideos-yz5qf china has no relation to tik tok, its literally banned in china.

As an American who’s really into politics, this is very interesting
Well now we know. Sidemen have been recruited by China after Harry's visit
You’ve been recruited by nato
Hopefully ban it in the uk too
Its already banned in INDIA (since 2020).
Who asked?
@@hanekawatsubasa546 I asked.
Go cry now.
Ugh the zoos...gotta do something about that
audio is shocking in this video for some reason.
what happened to the old sidecast set
They change every season
its part of sidemen lore they crashed into an island lost after airplane
Harry is always keeping it real💯
Wish it got banned it has done more harm to the world than positive
That applies to all social media really, you just gotta cope with it

The actual reason for the ban was the Palestine conflict
Seeing tons of screenshots showing comments regarding support of Palestine getting removed
Good
@goomy6412 Very cool
No it wasn't
@@Beebeepbooboop most of them are bots

I don't recall it being banned.
It was but not even for a day
It was only banned in the US not Uk

Trump says he could take a deal with China where we keep it but Trump owns half. I for one say byebye. I hate TikTok.
Do not confuse Chinese civilians with the government. They are not equals here!
I wholeheartedly agree with Ethan, Zoos suck. I dont like seeing animals in captivity
Listening to Brit’s talk about what’s going on in America always cracks me up lol. Also, btw China is a communist country. So, yeah. Lol
It claims to be a communist country, but it’s actually a dictatorship lol
China is not a communist country, at most it's a state capitalist country. Communist requires u to be stateless
