  • TikTok’s chief executive has vowed to ‘keep fighting’, after the US House of Representatives passed a bill that could see the app banned in the US.
    Shou Zi Chew warned that if the bill becomes law, it will mean the end of the app for its 170 million users in the US.
    While the bill passed overwhelmingly in the vote, it still needs to clear the Senate and be signed by the president to become law.

    •  Місяць тому +23

      The first TikTok is an American company. Chinese companies hold 20% of the shares, but Chinese companies have technology and algorithms, which is what the U.S. government desperately wants. Second, the United States does not allow TikTok data to enter China. China has a Chinese version of tiktok.

      Three former officials told Reuters that the CIA created a small team of operatives who used bogus internet identities to spread negative narratives about Xi Jinping’s government while leaking disparaging intelligence to overseas news outlets. The effort, which began in 2019, has not been previously reported.

      Give one reason. Tim tok is bad for security reasons. Social media is a whole new world allowing people to find themselves, explore self expression, share memories and gain experiences. Social media is great for many people, the issue is we need to tackle misinformation, scams and privacy concerns.

A non-stop stream of content that is intentionally designed to provoke an emotional reaction out of people and further cause divide in societies that are becoming increasingly divided. Which walks hand in hand with your point about misinformation and its destructive impact on people’s ability to think critically. The fact that Tik-Tok and Instagram reels are slowly hindering people’s ability to focus for long periods of time, which is particularly worrisome for children whose brains haven’t fully developed. This is also contributing to phone addiction.
      It’s causing far more harm than good. Getting rid of Instagram and Facebook was by far the best decision I’ve made in a while. If I want to get an update on a friend’s life, I’ll ask them directly.

    Imposing a sweeping ban or fording it to be sold on TikTok undermines fair market competition and the free market economy, setting a concerning precedent. Leveraging government power to target and suppress a foreign competitor opens a Pandora's box of detrimental ramifications for marketplace integrity.
    Fair competition fosters innovation and consumer choice in capitalism. Allowing companies to use state power against market rivals distorts the playing field, discourages foreign investment, and stifles market diversity and vibrancy.
    Such actions also incentivize businesses to prioritize political lobbying over product improvement. Instead of focusing on superior offerings, companies may invest resources in shaping regulations to entrench their positions.
    Fair competition upholds democratic values and individual freedoms. Suppressing competitors based on origin or affiliations risks protectionism, nationalism, and reduced consumer choice.
    Rather than bans or forced sale, establishing uniform data privacy and security standards for all companies is a prudent approach. This fosters a level playing field while addressing legitimate concerns about data protection and national security.
    Banning or forcing TikTok to be sold based on its foreign roots threatens fair competition, consumer freedom, and American economic leadership in innovation and entrepreneurship.

      Though vague, "National Security Risk" is a tall statement. It just so happened that Tiktok is way too popular, and especially close to china. Which would explain the insisting questions about the companies' relations with the CCP. Not to say that bytedance have done wrong or have done so, but its definitely a possibility and is a risk which would be bad for the national security.

      They didn't think that. They got a taste of it when India banned tiktok in 2020. About 200 Chinese apps were banned. India has its own tiktok btw by the name of chingaari
