- If enacted, the bill would give the app's Chinese parent company ByteDance six months to divest from TikTok before app stores would start prohibiting access.

The U.S. Congress loves to do everything but the things the American people need.
they are doing what we need lmao making it so were not brainwashed from doom scrolling
this IS what American need
@@shopsnugzi Ipad babies are the new sad reality 🤦🏽♂️new generation is doomed.
@@shopsnugziwhat’s the difference between TikTok, facebook, IG and X?
And this is a step in the right direction.
Good get rid of it
Yes, hand over control to the deep state. LOL Enjoy your future censorship.
Agreed, can’t wait to see the chaos happens, “UHHH NOOO I WONT LIVE WITHOUT TIKTOK 😭😭😭”
Not like it matters someone will create an American version anyways
@@ivan0oze886 There already are many, like the one you are on right now. Enjoy the censorship?
Why? You don't like it stay tf off it. Don't take it away from the rest of us. You want that move tf to south Korea. They will help tell you what to do, say, and how tf to act.
Passed this bill faster than any federal budget bill.
5/22/23. The E.U. fined Meta a record $1.3 billion after finding the Facebook parent broke its privacy laws by transferring user data from Europe to the United States.
there’s a reason it’s not being banned in either places tho… with the close ties - it’s not a threat to nation security (although still illegal for civilians privacy)
Yeah well this is USA not EU. USA is not Chinese Communist Party.
USA Tiktok owned by Beijing will now be sold to USA ownership and therefore the personal data of Americans isn't used by malicious adversaries of USA.
If EU wants to fine Tiktok also, good.
@@justyouraverageketchupkons7298 bold of the EU to think they can police the US. nice try EU.
Facebook is also responsible for inflaming genocide and hate speech. If anything, we have more justification for banning Facebook and Instagram than TikTok.
thats what facebook do. Right now I am trying to figure out why my traffic to facebook in the USA needed to be routed to Israel and back to the facebook server in Texas, yep that's what the trace-route shows
Mike made a great point - all this focus on TikTok, all the while China has apps like Temu and SHEIN that are absorbing as much information from Americans.
sadly this bill is another trojan horse to extend govt control
Ban those too. No one needs cheap labor chemical infused clothes.
All data is for sale. China can buy anything they want. This is really about putting TikTok in the hands of OUR government, which means government censorship. A really bad thing.
I'm inundated with Temu adds! It's just a fishing site with cheap garbage.
@@SpicyKimchi-i with you. People think everything cheap in modern days is safe to use.
We got other problems in American like gun law, homeless and right these idiots main priority are try to ban a social media app just what the hell.
Ban Guns ❌
Ban tiktok ✅
So
2nd amendment rights sadly
You know most gun crimes are committed by people who are “banned” from owning guns in the first place right? They used to call them criminals.
which amendment is use of tiktok under again? i forget
@@biggieshakurjones7891 one of the main reasons for banning tiktok was because “it doesn’t protect children” when all these fake politicians have to send out “thoughts and prayers” every month for a mass school shooting
Ban Facebook too, Instagram and Twitter.
You don't want the government to have that power to ban things American owned do you?
@nillyk5671
TikTok is the only app that they can’t cover up Israel’s evil behavior right now!
Did you watch the video? Tick Tock isn't banned unless China refuses to sell it.
This is about National Security it's not about you are like or dislike of social media at Large.
@@jamesmiller5331 they'll refuse. And after our government bans this app, this will set a precedent to be used in other bills to ban sites and apps that don't agree with.
Not X it is a free speech platform !
How deep are they monitoring any buyers?!
Corruption can hide under corporations.
Difference is Chinese Communist Party will no longer have the ability to track millions of Americans.
If you don't want to be tracked by American companies you need to get rid of all American apps and internet.
It can be owned by a Chinese shell company in the USA. But by being owned in the USA, people who steal content and publish it as their own can be sued under US law.
Do you know Jesus is a messenger of God
What’s the difference US government and our corporations collecting our data and the Chinese government data? Both are bad but honestly I’m more nervous about our government and our companies with it.
Al gore was right paying corporate to move jobs overseas is a bad idea
Even a broken clock…
TikTok started in China it didn't "move" there. If anything, it "moved" to the US.
@@mtb416Baseless insults against Al Gore. Let the republican mudslinging machine begin! 😂
@@erickborling1302 Not baseless at all. A simple google search will easily yield twenty wrong predictions - that have come and gone and been totally wrong - that alarmist has made regarding climate change.
It’s not lawmakers but lawbreakers
Yeah, why not ban Temu as well?
i must say the us government is so fast and so efficient. a new law like this can be passed only for a few weeks. wow!
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted anything so badly.
Kinda weird
Better Healthcare? Improved education system, lowering tuition? Better infrastructure? Drug control? Less school shooting?
Mark Zuckerburgs check cleared 😂🤝
Delete Facebook
They need to ban fb and IG
Well rip TikTok
RIP
The lady with the gavel look like she don't play. 😂 I like that
Let's goo!!!
Bot
@@Centfnz0 🫵😂
Hopefully it passes through congress
@@almac9203 Please go back to elementary school to learn that Congress consists of 2 bodies, the House of Representatives and the Senate. The bill passed the House and is heading to the Senate next. If it passes in the Senate, then yes, it would pass through Congress. Your ignorance is staggering
Yeah i do too
Ban all social media please!
💀
I agree!
it really is a threat to us
Can we ban Temu and Shein too?
at this point, China can no longer do business with US , let's decouple completely.
PLEASE
How about banned all wanted Chinese apps and sites?
**unwanted**
what laws did they offend?
is US still a rule of law, freedom of speech, free market and free trade country????
Never had, it never will
Same, mindless brainwashing useless app
same
It is basically UA-cam shorts. No better or worse except for the possibility that the Chinese government is stealing user data.
BAN it forever
No more big bank TikTok challenge.
There are a lot more reasons it should be banned besides the gathering of personal info.
UA-cam is still running in Russia, why Putin doesn't have this concern? US doesn't collect data from UA-cam?
True
Yeah.....like what?
@@Tanya-xp9ht How so?
收集你账单的信息吗？
That would be good news ban
I don’t use TikTok but a lot of my friends and family use it and I can see them all going to be upset if TikTok gets banned
I hope they call our bluff. I hate this app. It’s full of jackasses and a whole lot of trouble. If business say they need this app for legitimate marketing purposes, I say, what did businesses do 10 and even 20 years ago?
Yessss
This is lowkey a distopian future where music and dancing is ban while guns is enforced upon every schools and workplace. The story writes itself.
I think they just want it based in the USA . So content makers can sue for monetary damages when people repost someone's content as their own. Everyone's private info is already out there on the web somewhere.
I Agree this is to sweep other issues under the rug. But Ain't nobody's gonna "enforce" guns on you. In fact polly the opposite. Just like nobody enforces Illegal guns procured by those who don't care about law. on the street, in the hoods. My dystopian future is your taxed to the point of near poverty even though you work +40hr a week. Local govt takes it and does little to nothing. legally forced to prove yourself a victim if somebody breaks into your house. Tik Tok is an acceptable source for kids in schools. And the police are defunded to the point of inaction and not restructured and retrained so they don't do things like shoot acorns or poor Folk, or people with mental issues or people's dogs.
And all the while never looking at root causes.
TikTok should shut down for "maintenance" for a week and see how the American people react.
Facebook and alike should do the same. I'd love to see the reactions. UA-cam is my only media. When you don't have real friends social media doesn't really matter.
We should have banned it long time ago
People incomes come from this app!
If addiction to the app is the issue, then all the gaming apps should be banned, too. Yes?
@@MalcolmFMQthe complaint isn't the addiction but ownership by an affiliate of the Chinese government. The allegation is they pass personal information to the Chinese government so it is a security threat.
@@derekwilliams6561oh cmon! TikTok has more negatives than positives! Do you not know that future kids like generation alpha are making up more words and are also doing bad stuff?
@@derekwilliams6561 the needs of the many and all that
Selina wang u go girl excellent reporting indeed
Ban gun ! Ban drug ! Tht the priority
They made them an offer they can't refuse 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Get the ban hammer 🔨 ready
Finally never used it but hate when people around me are on it fk annoying af
“Impossible” you say? 😂 don’t underestimate the internet
The app has done more harm than good especially with all the challenge videos that have landed people in the hospital and even got some killed.
Just sell it to an American company, all issues sorted!
That’s an American education system issue, not an app issue
Smart move. God bless the USA!
But not banning guns or doing anything about all the school shooting? Oh okay.
A whole entire country worried over some app that they could simply not install and ignore is not really a smart move 💀
Will the senate pass it though?
Appears to be support on both sides, I think it will. Biden has already said he’d sign it too.
@@user-sj5ju4jb7tI’m so excited! And I might really cry! This really means alot to me because TikTok is an app filled with of sin, and as a Christian, I am so thankful that God is taking this app down!
Aint no way tiktok got banned before gta 6💀💀💀💀
If there is something truly wrong, why give it 6 months?😅
for better pricing? or stock market game?
Hell NO
well i hope my package come asap before they take it down.
No more trends
Oh! I feel freeee!
😂yes noo more trending searches enough is enough 😂😂
Bet your on tiktok.
It actually feels like old times, thats great!
They don't like an app where young people organize and discuss issues unfiltered. Meta doesn't allow free speech on controversial issues such as the middle east or boycotting popular brands like Kellogs or Starbucks.
Where young people are brainwashed. Fixed it for you.
Anyone who has an opinion different from yours is brainwashed.@@jimbeam2705
For all you people praising this move, what video hosting platform do you think all that short form content will move to?
One that isn’t going to give your information to the ccp.
Congress voting on a app how crazy is that ... What's next ?
why is it crazy? it is no different than outlawing any other harmful substance
@@007kingifrit It's like voting on a teenager toy .... It all about censorship, distractions and control .... Ain't no telling they snuck into that bill ... Or what they're trying to distract us from ..
Just BAN IT.
Praying they get rid of the app. It is getting out of control.
Yessssssssss
Hmmm, I don't think so!
Yeah, we know U.S. companies certainly aren't angling to "acquire" a competitor. I get the potential security issues, but let's not fool ourselves into belieiving this is the main driver behind this legislation. China still owns plenty of our assets, and many U.S. companies utilize a lot of it for their own benefit. Money talks, obviously.
The US is jealous of Tiktok's success. Forcing them to sell or face ban is extortion and thats illegal. That ban will not stop users from using a VPN.
Thank god
When is the senate voting..??????
I think Bytedance should sell it to a company that is not US-based but in another country that US claims is an ally like Germany or South Korea or Japan… and then let’s see if congress will still come up with the same excuses. If they do, then we know that it was never about security but a naked grab for power and control
Does'nt Facebook already do that? Lol.
Good!
Elon will buy it
Most definitely.
So he can turn it to a cesspool like what happened to Twitter?
@@lenini056don’t lie it was already way worse then cesspool before he bought it
Bipartisanship is a death sentence for working class Americans and people around the world
Huh?? Oh, I get it. You mean the Donnie's never want to play ball because they think people will know, or find out that Biden is doing a great job. Afterall, it was the Republican hero, Ronald Reagan, who introduced trickle down economics that destroyed America's middle class. The Dems support Union's, the Donnie's do not. They support the wealthy rip off artists like their hero.
Good 💯
i would like to see all the reactions after they ban it😭
Word.
Y’all are putting out the wrong message to the generation that’s going to be now forgetting about you in your nursing home. Good luck.
The problem is people that are using Tik Tok or not intelligent enough to understand the sensitivity of their own information getting in the wrong hands people that appreciate their privacy and appreciate not being hacked are the ones and not using tiktok
I’m glad tiktok is getting banned. People got so dumb because of the app. Banning tiktok is definitely a step in the right direction
The problem is that tic tok is NOT owned by any chinese entity
oh well they will come up with something else
And what's wrong with it? A shame
No TikTok
“I used to pray for times like this” since 2019
Me too 😂
Ban what? It's a global app. You can't just peel the US part out.
Yes actually you can
😅 yes, they can.
Yes they can be blocked
It's only being banned from the app stores, slow people.😂 There are ways to still get it, obviously.
Can we end homelessness in the United States first?
Temu next?
No. Temu cannot influence public opinions
temu selling junk/garbage from china? 😂😂😂 dont know i never junk/garbage made in china😂😂😂
@@jackiepink5907 You never what?
@@yuhapps6758 never buy* lol
They are very aggressively popping up
Out of all the things they decide to spend their time on. 😂 Ain’t no way they selling it.
Who is looking to buy it?
Microsoft or Rumble.
TikTok brains gotta go 👍🏼
😅ya then they will all end up here on UA-cam shorts nice move 😂😂😂
Thank God tik tok is disgusting
@@user-go8vi5lb6u I don’t watch tik tok I’ve seen what it does and how it is
Good time for people to get back to reality and get a real job
Good
Ban tic toc and Facebook
Why Facebook are u saying weird MAGA stuff and got banned lol
@@noahkirkpatrick8912I don’t think we should outright ban Facebook, but all social media in America needs to follow in twitters footsteps to make the platform more neutral even at the expense of more chaos. My problem with these platforms is they choose who they want and what rules are rules. It’s more like a palace than a social media platform
@@TheShadowBannedBanditTwitter is not neutral LMAO
@@cloudy_xDD Correction, twitter wasn’t neutral. Now it doesn’t matter what politics you spout, one won’t get banned for having a particular opinion.
@@TheShadowBannedBandityou can’t tell someone how to run THEIR platform. If I make a blog site tomorrow, you have no right to tell me what I can write on MY blog. If I allow users to also write on MY blog, you can’t tell me what I can allow and disallow, why? Cuz it’s mine. Don’t like it, don’t use it.
Let’s go!
If they ban Tik Tok people will want the app more and you will see people buying VPN services up 😂
Good Bandit that's how half the people getting over the Border are getting over they're giving him step by step directions
Pass the border bill! That’s more pressing than this
That will not happen because it will be perceived as a win for Biden. Not for the American people and those poor immigrants. Donnie has instructed his chickenship minions in Congress to block it.
This is the way the Republicans run Congress.
Glad to see that Congress is focusing on the important things. For fuck's sake.
Doesn't Facebook and other apps do this as well? 👀
Maybe change up the shorts
That's the idea behind this. It's all bad and illegal unless it's the USA who does this
1:36 bad mic feedback
That reminds me....SELL THE DAMN TEAM DOLAN
Good never let TikTok tick again
So much for democracy and free enterprise in America, more like a dictatorship.
What Chinese owners????
Its Singaporean not Chinese!!
