There is no way on earth that 12% of US adults consider TikTok a full or part time job!?! That's over one in ten! If that were true I would have at least heard of or known a single person doing tiktok for a living and I haven't. Maybe 12% of US adults use the app at all!
That’s not true. There are a lot of people that don’t know anyone using TikTok to her income, but there are a lot of people who know dozens of people who use TikTok to earn income. 10% sounds about right. That doesn’t mean 10% are making their full life sustaining income on TikTok, but 10% of them are earning.
You'd be surprised how many people are pulling in huge numbers to the likes of $20k/mo in pure profit just by posting simple videos and attaching a TikTok shop affiliate link. I'd be super mad if I lose my $20k/mo income source overnight
youre correct that financial and economic safety is completely incorrect and I personally think that tik tok has done nothing but made America dumber and given access to the chinese communist party which is proven and tried through the legal system.
@@ShootingUtah You're probably right that 12% of U.S. TikTok users making a living off of it is incorrect. However, I'd be willing to bet that more than 12% of U.S. adults use TikTok.
While social media has its benefits, I've seen a lot of negative influences on the younger generations especially. Humanity was doing fine without tik tok several years back. I'm sure we will be fine even if its banned.
A lot of people will be negatively affected if TikTok is banned, not just individuals who depend on the app for their income. Small businesses, activists, emerging musicians, etc.
@apologyrejected-3531 Obviously, they were able to be successful without TikTok. The app has been an additional resource for those people, though. Also, when I mentioned emerging musicians, I was talking about those whose songs became popular thanks to trending on TikTok.
@Tom-v5n8n Well, I don't watch the brain rot. I enjoy TT. The US just doesn't want truths revealed through citizen reporting. Can't have people speaking their truth now can we. Gotta have Meta in charge of what one can and can't say.
I don't use tiktok, but I do believe it is important to read between the lines and understand the true motives. It has much more to do with Israel than it does China. Nevertheless, what is being one is also blatantly unconstitutional.
Hi I’m Joshua batey and I’m generation Z I was born in 2005 and I have grown up with technology around me and social media but I don’t use TikTok but I think it will impact a lot of young adults and a lot of my generation we love social media and phones but I think particularly in my generation it is important that We all need the education to stay safe online
Security concerns is the least of the evils with tiktok. Im glad US government is banning it. India already did many years ago and Im sure Norway and Europe will follow suit if USA lead the way.
I like TikTok, but I’m one of the few people if not many more that got ripped off by a TikTok store. There’s no telling what the Chinese have done to our information and I’m glad to see it go
Is it true Tik-Toc is not being “banned” unless it is sold to a company other than Byte Dance? As I understand it, Byte Dance is a Chinese company required by law to turn over data it collects on its users upon demand by China? I don’t understand the problem…Tic Toc will still be available, only under different ownership ~ what am I getting wrong?
I mean Tiktok is just another app that can be replicated. If Tiktok get's banned something else can just takes it's place. If the creators are afraid of losing their followers can't they just tell them to follow of whatever new media that's going to replace Tiktok? Something else always fills the void.
sounds like Cheyenne Hunt is saying this does not go far enough, and the covernment needs to control more? However, I do agree with her when she said that a few billionares are held acountable to know one but them selves.
The irony of a 'free' country banning speech they simply don't like is palpable. (I appreciate the issue is more complex than just this) It'd be a shame if TikTok is banned. Its algorithm is one of the more authentic ones out there, and not so heavy ad-centric. (Thinking of another platform that rhymes with 'cube') It seems like it would take one of the billionaires critiqued in this video, to step in and buy the US operations this week for it to continue? 🤔
Besides collecting Data and handing it over to the Chinese Government, how is it fair for U.S.-based social media companies to be banned in China but for Chinese-based social media companies to operate in the U.S.?
It’s not about personal safety. It’s about national safety. UA-cam Instagram Facebook Snapchat those are all owned by American companies. That’s the difference.
Heres my thing they been talking about banning tiktok for years so if content creators still put there apples in that barrel and totally ignored that thats on them, thats like having inside knowledge about a business thats gonna close and ppl there business in there anyways and complain when they go out of business.
Focus on the most important part - compromised national security for US. There are other alternative platform or marketing strategies. NATIONAL SECURITY IS IMPORTANT. Listen and understand what was just explained about the requirement of Chinese government!!!!
Oh myyyyy what a big scary world, they need to get a real job like the rest of us. The world will for sure end! Give it a rest. That needed to be banned years ago.
People are selfish. They're worried about their pocket more than they are about the damage it does to our society. It's turned everyone into a drone type moron.
TikTok didnt exist a few years ago and everyone was fine. There's nothing special about the app itself. Make a replacement and move over to it. A population that cared about it's country would do so anyway. Instead we have people making excuses and acting like the earth is going to stop rotating without some app. Whole generations of people went to war, this generation can't come together and move their content to another app.
I hope tiktok does get banned it's a bunch of garbage anyway , oh and maybe this women and many others can do other things besides watch a bunch of stupid videos and get a self identity and not be codependent for attention
How come I never had TikTok and I wasn’t planning on it. I have plenty of apps I have Facebook Instagram X. There’s a plenty of apps in the United States. There’s no reason to hang out on TikTok.
But what about people that have no life and do tiktok over living in reality and think they will be famous come on we need docs emt and more need to get back to living a real life
Seeing so many "I don't use it so just ban it" comments here is exactly why TikTok was a good fit for people who needed to find community that welcomed them. "Get a real job" people are usually able-bodied, more easily fit the status quo, can afford access to more resources, aren't as creative, literally do not have hobbies or want to learn about other cultures and languages ... etc They have no curiosity either (clearly) and it's proven by those who've never been on it still assuming it's a dance app ffs. It's perfectly ok to not care about or want to download TikTok (or any app) but to cheer on it's being taken away from millions who love it or, in some cases, will legit struggle without it it is just cruel. I'm not American but I do feel for all of you who are having it so abruptly taken away. Especially now that Meta's openly inviting rascim and misogyny in full force like that bird app, rending it all the opposite of safe. Hopefully you'll be able to find your safe, fun, creative, informative and intelligent spaces again. We'll miss ya'll! (Until it's our turn lol)
All of these people crying foul because they may lose TikTok and a source of revenue. Instead of going after our government they should be going after the source, TikTok, and get them to meet the legal demands. It seems that the younger generation has no concept of personal and national security.
Definitely not going to take the opinions of people that can only survive if their business is on tiktok. Biased much 🤣 You all know you can move to an app that does the same thing. It’s also not like there won’t be an app/platform in the future that you’ll have to learn

Ban it. It’s like a drug.
then vote it
there is a big logic hole in your argument.
If you ban it because it's like a drug, then ban them all, All social media are drugs.
Not only a drug, but also dangerous. Tiktok harvests our data.
And OF
it's what!? bro some people have a job in TikTok by selling and they are making a living
While social media has its benefits, I've seen a lot of negative influences on the younger generations especially. Humanity was doing fine without tik tok several years back. I'm sure we will be fine even if its banned.
I really don't care if it gets banned. I don't use it.
then your opinion does not count
A lot of people will be negatively affected if TikTok is banned, not just individuals who depend on the app for their income. Small businesses, activists, emerging musicians, etc.
All of these don't matter for the majority and even then they can still use different platforms.
Makes me wonder how people survived all those years without it.
lol, no
@apologyrejected-3531 Obviously, they were able to be successful without TikTok. The app has been an additional resource for those people, though. Also, when I mentioned emerging musicians, I was talking about those whose songs became popular thanks to trending on TikTok.
@@eerreennee Actually, yes
Chinese Tiktok replacements already trending on the app stores
As if anyone is going to flock to Meta, it really zucks
yeah... the government is complicated to understand sometimes as well this discussion
Yes ban Tik tok. So many bad influencers on tik tok anyway
Im 27, still havent used tik tok. I never plan to brain rot is real thing
Then you have no idea what Tiktok is then.

so don't watch this video or even comment then cause people are looking for a good point to ban or unban it ok
To be honest it has been a medical gem for me. The doctors are failing.
I don't use tiktok, but I do believe it is important to read between the lines and understand the true motives. It has much more to do with Israel than it does China. Nevertheless, what is being one is also blatantly unconstitutional.

Excatly. And if they ban this app and free speech what's next

I've made millions of dollars on Tik Tok and if they ban it I'll be homeless again.
If you made millions on TikTok and end up homeless after it’s banned that’s all on you bucko. Should’ve done better
if you made "millions" & if banned you will become "homeless" ... THEN YOU ARE AN UBER WRECK.
God i can only hope they ban it and make ppl get real jobs. Im 39 and never ever downloaded this app
Yup get a real job in onlyfans.😅
I never use it.
I am still smart beautiful and intelligent without it.
I am glad this is on the table
You are actually smarter and more beautiful because you dont use it.
So, if you don’t use it- it’s bad? What kind of backward logic is that?
@@haitiancreolewithluciano thats not what was said.
I'm a UA-cam creator. I think the Tik Toc platform is horrible. I can't even get into my account now so I just said screw it.
Ban Tik Tok so Harry Sisson will be gone for good. !
These people really that dumb not to know they are literally selling our information
So is every other app out there only way to keep ypur info secure is to pay for everything with cash and never go on internet for any reason
content creators will lose their revenue. I've notice several putting old posts on UA-cam reels now.
good it was never a real job anyway.

Go move to China, then. They would love to have all your data.

It’s not about personal safety. It’s about national safety. UA-cam Instagram Facebook Snapchat those are all owned by American companies. That’s the difference.
So citizens of each country should use their own social media owned by their own people?
ordinary people just want to have fun. Fxxx your fake propaganda on national security, which doesn't even exist.
Nonsense💩
I agree with the ban - its disadvantages (chinese spy software !) outweigh by far its advantages of its (to young people)
Heres my thing they been talking about banning tiktok for years so if content creators still put there apples in that barrel and totally ignored that thats on them, thats like having inside knowledge about a business thats gonna close and ppl there business in there anyways and complain when they go out of business.
A lot of people will have to get real jobs if it is banned lol
Wtf you been ... we losing jobs to robots ... no more "real" jobs
running an online business is a real job.
Such an uneducated comment. You've not been paying attention.
Real jobs like the fast food you work at.

Start another platform similar to tik tok ?
Good riddence tbh
I dont use TikTok that often but if it gets banned multiple video games are at risk
So what was the whole point of tiktok, anyway???
people are gonna go to chinese app not facebook youtube and insta , doesn't that say something ?
Good that Meta and UA-cam are forcing Tik-Tok out
Meta and UA-cam are banned in China, so it is only fair for them to push TikTok out.
