The American government are concerned about the live debates that take place on Tiktok. Highly educated people with great knowledge telling the truth, uncensored, showing sources and videos that are massively eye opening about global issues. The lives some times have thousands of people in attendance who can all interact with each other, discuss the topic in question, in real time in the chat. Political figures speak without censorship and answer questions directly from the audience of viewers from around the world. It's hugely informative and better than any educational debate you've ever heard. It's gripping, sometimes heart breaking and I've learnt mind blowing facts. Tiktok isn't all banal. That's just what they want you to think.
UA-cam shorts kids are braindead, all they watch is "Sigma" edits that are corny as shit. People on tiktok arent so braindead because tiktok has an age requirement and most people follow it. You get banned if youre under 13 on tiktok and I dont see youtube banning people. Tiktok actually has good content unlike youtube shorts.

You're talking about Tiktok and not Bytedance, it doesn't have anything to do with China anymore. Tiktok is for US and US based only. China banned Tiktok.You know that, right? What China has Douyin. So, no, TikTok doesn't need to.

Do some research. Chinese version of Tiktok is Douyin. Douyin banned you too. They separated those two. They use theirs. Chinese people use Douyin and no outsiders are allowed to use it. Tiktok is International version. Only outsiders can use it. Get your facts straight and be less racist.
We don’t need a tik tok ban, we need industry regulations and privacy protection laws. Websites should be able to collect user information, but we need regulations that govern what those companies can do with that information. They should *not* be able to monetize it and sell it. They should not be able to share it with third parties. And if government wants access to it, government needs to have probable cause and appropriate warrants. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED.

People dancing on tiktok has been dead since 2021, tiktok actually has good content unlike youtube shorts that only has "sigma" edits and just corny memes that died like a year ago.
Theres no chinese propaganda on tiktok, I have tiktok and ive never even seen anything about china on the app. This proves that it's always the people who have never used the app wants it to get banned.
Because it is chinese .R.T. is russian and they have been declared to be always in the russian side. And I think they are also concern of Tik Tok to be always in the chinese side. Because risks for National security as low as posible.
Yeah, when Facebook's user data was actually stolen, did US ban Facebook? Now, TikTok's user data hasn't stolen yet, they started to ban TikTok. If it was some social network owned by US instead of TikTok, I doubt that US would ban it. What a batch of hypocrites. 🙄🙄🙄
Why ban it? 🤔 Because stupid kids use it, dancing bad & calling everyone skibidi or rizz? It’s weird someone said it was dangerous a few years ago but he got vilified for it & he was correct
MISINFORMATION. It's not a "ban" it's a partial restriction on distribution. The app stores wouldn't provide it but it wouldn't be illegal to have, to use, or to obtain by other means. TikTok website would/could remain. And all this is only if TikTok refuses to come under U.S company's control, thus ensuring that the Chinese government doesn't have sway over TikTok.
There is no “hate speech” exception to the First Amendment. So, many Americans wonder: Is hate speech legal? Contrary to a common misconception, most expression one might identify as “hate speech” is protected by the First Amendment and cannot lawfully be censored, punished, or unduly burdened by the government - including public colleges and universities.
Roughly sixty percent of the company is beneficially owned by global institutional investors such as Carlyle Group, General Atlantic, and Susquehanna International Group. An additional twenty percent of the company is owned by ByteDance employees around the world, including Australians. The remaining twenty percent is owned by the company's founder, who is a private individual and is not part of any state or government entity. TikTok, which is not available in mainland China, has established Los Angeles and Singapore as headquarters locations to meet its business needs. That is in keeping with ByteDance's approach to aligning business needs to the markets where its services operate. ByteDance does not have a single global headquarters. ByteDance's board of directors is comprised of five individuals, none of whom is a part of any government or state entity. 3 of the 5 are American. The board includes: Rubo Liang, ByteDance Chairman and CEO (Singapore-based) • Arthur Dantchik, Susquehanna International Group (U.S.-based). Bill Ford, General Atlantic (U.S.-based). Philippe Laffont, Coatue Management (U.S.-based). Neil Shen, Sequoia (Hong Kong-based). Four out of five of the board's directors represent ByteDance's investors on the board, and Rubo Liang, ByteDance CEO, represents the company and its employees.
It will certainly not have a staggering effect on free speech. It will IMPROVE social skills and push people to interact with society physically.

Yet T.T allows people to criticise Israel and the U.S does not like it. That is why they want to ban it or run it so they can censor speech just as Facebook, UA-cam and others do. The U.S government tells the site moderators to remove content

The complaint centered on a long-standing platform issue that made publicly available the phone numbers and email addresses of young users when they upgraded to business or creator accounts (possibly in order to see account analytics features such as profile views and post engagement).
TikTok is not about free speech. It's about cringy dance videos.
It's how you choose to use the platform. If you choose Facebook to upload dancing videos, you can and Facebook will be turned into TikTok.
People dancing on tiktok has been dead since 2021, tiktok actually has good content unlike youtube shorts that only has "sigma" edits and just corny memes that died like a year ago.
This just in: "cow who is about to be slaughtered says his slaughter would have a 'staggering' impact on his life expectancy
EVIL PROSPER
Dirty $
*Freedom of speech can be applied too any App or space, Tik Tok is not a human right, but Right of Privacy is.*
Why doesn't TikTok fight for people in China 🇨🇳 for their access to UA-cam, Facebook, or even TikTok itself?
It’s not there job.
INDIA already Ban This stupid App in 2020 😂
Tiktok is the worst thing that's happened to us
I am grateful to Euro Countries that force FB and others to do better. This is an American policy that makes things better.
Free British 🇬🇧 Pensioners 🥶🥶🥶
Yet you don’t get that in there land. Huh.
Good 👍
We have free speech, not a right to make an irresponsible app to redefine the public square.
Should go full Brazilian and ban X first.
The freedom to not be free
Yes you do indeed have but why put others into jeopardy for your personal baseless desires. Get a VPN if you need access to TikTok
@@arthurlane6840 idk if you understand my comment...
Ban Chinese propaganda
Says the country who will spend $1.6 Billion to spread US propaganda and misinformation about China. 🤣🤣🤣
Theres no chinese propaganda on tiktok, I have tiktok and ive never even seen anything about china on the app. This proves that it's always the people who have never used the app wants it to get banned.
Even if you ban tiktok another app will take its place and or meta, etc will become even bigger
Haven't ticked tokked so can't miss it
Tik tok is not a "free speech" mecca that should not be removed.
Ban TikTok good news 😊
Hate speech is not free speech. If its a product that spreads hate of any kind then that product either needs banning or at least regulation.
Then X should be the first to be banned. It's like 4chan and stormfront rolled into one.
Anyone thinking Bytedance and TikTok work independently must be smoking real good shit 😂
Chinese said.🤣
TikTok, never used it, never will. Theres the answer.
This from the people that brought you 'unalive'.
why should companies have the same rights as individuals? its nonsense.
There is not much important information on that platform to be concerned!
Because it is chinese .R.T. is russian and they have been declared to be always in the russian side. And I think they are also concern of Tik Tok to be always in the chinese side. Because risks for National security as low as posible.
Yeah, when Facebook's user data was actually stolen, did US ban Facebook? Now, TikTok's user data hasn't stolen yet, they started to ban TikTok. If it was some social network owned by US instead of TikTok, I doubt that US would ban it. What a batch of hypocrites. 🙄🙄🙄
Lets not stop with tiktok. Make people normal again by banning all this crap
I would agree that a national security threat overrides the free speech argument.
If they bann Facebook first then MAYBE I would be okay with TikTok being gone.
nah you dumb
"Concerns". Yet still no Facts 😂
My gf always watches this app and it’s so annoying please ban it in England
Ban X in England.
FO TikTok … don’t need it, don’t want it …
Questions about banning TIKTOK, crickets about Leon's now unregulated X platform lol
Why ban it?
🤔
Because stupid kids use it, dancing bad & calling everyone skibidi or rizz?
It’s weird someone said it was dangerous a few years ago but he got vilified for it & he was correct
Obama - Citizens United (2010). Biden - Total Surveillance (06/2024).
MISINFORMATION. It's not a "ban" it's a partial restriction on distribution. The app stores wouldn't provide it but it wouldn't be illegal to have, to use, or to obtain by other means. TikTok website would/could remain. And all this is only if TikTok refuses to come under U.S company's control, thus ensuring that the Chinese government doesn't have sway over TikTok.
free speech? don't you know how expensive bbc is?
There is no “hate speech” exception to the First Amendment.
So, many Americans wonder: Is hate speech legal?
Contrary to a common misconception, most expression one might identify as “hate speech” is protected by the First Amendment and cannot lawfully be censored, punished, or unduly burdened by the government - including public colleges and universities.
What a joke. The problem isn't TikTok, it's Chinese owned TikTok. You couldn't pay me to use it. Don't let your kids on there.
Roughly sixty percent of the company is beneficially owned by global institutional investors such as Carlyle Group, General Atlantic, and Susquehanna International Group. An additional twenty percent of the company is owned by ByteDance employees around the world, including Australians. The remaining twenty percent is owned by the company's founder, who is a private individual and is not part of any state or government entity.
TikTok, which is not available in mainland China, has established Los Angeles and Singapore as headquarters locations to meet its business needs. That is in keeping with ByteDance's approach to aligning business needs to the markets where its services operate. ByteDance does not have a single global headquarters.
ByteDance's board of directors is comprised of five individuals, none of whom is a part of any government or state entity. 3 of the 5 are American. The board includes:
Rubo Liang, ByteDance Chairman and CEO (Singapore-based) • Arthur Dantchik, Susquehanna International Group (U.S.-based). Bill Ford, General Atlantic (U.S.-based). Philippe Laffont, Coatue Management (U.S.-based).
Neil Shen, Sequoia (Hong Kong-based).
Four out of five of the board's directors represent ByteDance's investors on the board, and Rubo Liang, ByteDance CEO, represents the company and its employees.
Tiktok stealing information has been debunked
What does the bbc know about free speech?
F’ AIPAC
Let everyone speck freely. Stop banning . Free speech always.
It will certainly not have a staggering effect on free speech. It will IMPROVE social skills and push people to interact with society physically. After school recreational activities will increase, businesses will be more active with its community. Its a shift we NEED to break away from 🇨🇳👀 Tiktok isn't the end all.
Whatever happened to free speach
Well, it would say that
Yet Google does everything they possibly can to get you to download it...???
Ashley??! That sounds very familiar on TikTok..🤔🤔
Ah yes, how did anyone free speech before TikTok 🙄
Funny, we had more free speech in the US before Tik Tok.
Hate speech and free speech isn't the same.
Yet T.T allows people to criticise Israel and the U.S does not like it. That is why they want to ban it or run it so they can censor speech just as Facebook, UA-cam and others do. The U.S government tells the site moderators to remove content
Ridiculous, TikTok is controlled by China where there is no free speech at all😂
That's rich coming from China 😂
LMAO. You’ll be aight
free speech? does china have this strange thing?
Tiktok should be banned 🚫 X is the right answer 💯
Like Chinese teach us how to play soccer.😆
tell me why meta is banned in China? What's wrong with the USA buying tik?
I’m far more concerned about our Government & MSM than i am about Tiktok..
Cons hackers an underage minors
so if needed we can drop the law. 🤣
It is not about free speech it is about making money from exploiting TikTok users.
