- The Senate passed legislation Tuesday that would force TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the social media platform under the threat of a ban, a contentious move by U.S. lawmakers that’s expected to face legal challenges and disrupt the lives of content creators who rely on the short-form video app for income.

TikTok stood alone among major media outlets with no Pro-Israeli bias. Enough said.
It’s called ⚪️supremacy
Coz the major media (western) outlets are double standard. This kind of ugliness is seen by people all over the world！
How about instead of making up new bills, our dear geeowberment officials protect the ones that are in place at BIRTH. After all that is their "JOB" They forget that 🤔
They are only changing ownership not going anywhere. They see its immense potential for controlling people and changing society. Also they are getting rich from its addiction loop format that is too addictive to stop
crazy how the most addictive drug is electrified pixels lol
so true so now the american government can control us instead lmao
They can't control the Israel, Palestine narrative so they want to ban Tik Tok because they can't control the owners to censor unwanted truths
The ownership issue is a problem. Because we should be in a capitalist society. This is a private business that the government is forcing to change ownership without any just cause. The Supreme Court will knock it down.
Exactly! Nothing to do with security, all to do with control
You can't force a company to change hands unless you're American.
Then bye bye Tik Tok
Ironic
Yeah the US has WAYYY overstepped it's boundaries, yelling at a foreign country to tell it what to do.
Plus youtube bans comments that say anything critical about the US. It is like communist Soviet Union all over again.
@@Dasha-tk3mo lmao
Good. TikTok is a poison.
It will still be poison, but it will be US owned, which means it will then have a strong pro-Israel bias.
Doing Big Tech's bidding.
I'm on Tiktok and I love it but the way ppl on that app have an overinflated sense of how important Tiktok is to America is wild. Comments like: "This is where I get my news" and "Half of America uses Tiktok" are wild and inaccurate.😂
It's not about that. It's about China taking control of your phone. Your 19 yr old son is in the Space Force, has TikTok on his phone and China enables the microphone, camera, GPS etc. While hes on base. That's why
The sad part is they're more reliable for news than the corporate conglomerates. They've convinced you they want it banned for your privacy. The reality is, all these apps are stealing, using, selling your information. Truth is, it's taking money and power from zuck. He's lining the politicians pockets so of course they don't want him losing money. He loses, they lose. Instead of fighting them, maybe he should buy them so he can stomp on free speech some more. No, I don't care it's a private company. It's basically a utility at this point. The electric company doesn't determine when you use what lights in your home.
it's pretty much the worst thing boomers could possibly do. now that the only thing distracting the youth from observing how incredibly inhumane eurocentric culture truly is is getting banned(it wont get sold, that would be the dumbest thing china could do in this situation) , they will have no choice but to relish in the fact that eurocentric cultures only goal is to consolidate all wealth and power back into europe, which means they've been perpetually deemed as disposable slaves. i doubt they will willingly accept that fate and will almost certainly rather die fighting it than hang their heads and give in to the most harmful thing to ever happen to life on earth.
When all other platforms are monitored and censored, it is kind of a big deal to have one that isn't controlled by amarican influence
no one cares buddy
This is putting the company between a rock and a hard place and isn't there a specific law against that? 🥴
WORLD IS A STAGE
Absolutely disgusting. Every one of them needs voted out next chance we get. Learn the names of the yes votes
LOL, these kids are going to pass away with ought their 10 second content.
Thank god. That batch sucked.
YEA BUT THEY HAVENT PASSED THE CTC TAX BILL, PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING GTFOH!
All tiktok has to do is change their name. See they need to pass a bill banning shorts. Just banning the format is ignorant. I can sell my business to my brother and change the name and there u go it's still the same thing
The “New” app TikTik coming soon 😂
Yea, they probably never thought of that. The language used probably specifically says only the name TikTok is banned.
Just like Russia did with their version of McDonald's.
@@jeepninja1 they need to ban all shorts. It's a waste of time and rotting brains
@w.e.s. 90% of online content is. My point is, TikTok isn't gonna be able to change their name and keep going.
I wish all the apps would take these shorts down.
Ok Nazi.
Criminals in charge protecting their ways.👁
These bills are incredibly short sighted. They are not addressing the core issue with apps. What we really need are laws regarding protection of privacy and addressing reducing how addictive and predatory apps can be. Otherwise more of these apps will pop up and we will be playing whack-a-mole with them.
Bravo Senate
Biden won't sign off on that bill
Hell yeah finally
dummies you don't know what is going on in tiktok America about to kill the economy again
@@craftingretired😂 sure
Nice, ban it right now.
Screw the content creators aka unemployed. They don't want to get real jobs and work hard and give up being their own boss.
Lol. Real jobs. I'm a blue collar worker. Just because these people aren't destroying their body (I just had my second spine surgery and got fused from L4-S1 this time) doesn't mean they're not working. Setting up cameras, editing, writing, whatever goes into these videos.
real jobs pay you enough to remain alive in the country you are working / were born in. there is only slavery available for those not born well off. if you think jobs that pay 1/10 the cost of being alive isnt slavery, you're mathematically and scientifically r3t4rd3d
Please - point us to where the real jobs that pay living wages are. A lot of us were laid off MONTHS ago and have been desperately searching for reemployment since, looking for any job that can pay us at least close to what we used to earn. When rent is sky rocketing and food costs continue to rise, its really hard to live on 15/hr when you used to earn 75k a year. So please - show us where these real jobs are.
What is a real job to you...working for someone else?😅😂 Slave 40 hours for strangers or work for yourself on your schedule
Lot of bitter people are mad that someone took charge of their lives.
❤❤❤very good 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
.
All these tiktokers about to be pissed not about to be millionaires anymore and need to get a real job.
What's a real job? Making millions from Tik Tok or slaving away 40 hours a week so Ukraine and Israel and kill people?
Oohhh noooo!!! Now some people have to get a real job!!! 😂😂😂😂
working for a corporation that doesn't want to pay you much where you gotta work 2 to 3 jobs is not a real job either , its capitalist modern day slavery 😂
@@nes96 maybe, but in between all that your actually contributing something productive or tangible to society.
Lol. They're just going to come out with another app similar to tik Tok but this time controlled by the U.S government. Do people really think it's over?
@@Tearflavoredcereal you dont contribute to society. corporations only steal from society. if you were working for the public, thats a different story. but private business only results in more and more of our wealth heading over to europe through laundering or our government just giving it all away like with this bill while 90% of our population faces literal starvation...
@@ajdynamo6866 if you look at how facebook was handled during the BLM protests, you know its a very dark sign. i personally witnessed/reported countless videos posted to facebook of literal black children getting murdered and they were never taken down. all posted by rabid blood thirsty lunatics who were trying to influence people to go out and run their cars into crowds of protesters.
I don't know why people waste their time scrolling on dumb social media platforms, go find something else to do.
Because the Media lies in America. Need to find facts somewhere.
I understand what you're saying but folks make a decent living on that app.
@@krystingrant6292 not a good idea to base your livelihood on an app. Everyone knows that’s not long sighted.
