All social media apps need to be inspected and suspected the same way countries do on tiktok. Twitter, Meta, Google apps monitor or collect data 👀.

          Anonymous, 16 Mar 2023They can use a vpn anyway.Yeah,you clearly have no idea what a ban is. I can block your phone from installing using or sharing anything i can think of, we're talking guvernmet phones here.

            Anonymous, 16 Mar 2023Good. Now ban it completely. Ahh the good old anarchists mindset

            Just remove something without suggesting it's replacement huh?

            Then a power vaccum is created and something worse takes its place

            Then the people that were happy for it to be banned complains and don't understand why things got worse

                Sin, 16 Mar 2023I actually agree with tiktok the ban is all about finances ... moreMy opinion is, that tik tok should be cleaned of trakers first. If you deny the fact that they spy, well you do not understand networks. Anyway, affter cleaning tik tok, they should also clean everything stupid, especially violent stupid.... And allow only learning videos, there is a reason why in china there are only educative stream on tik tok, while in the west is full with m...ns.

                  I actually agree with tiktok the ban is all about finances of big companies trying one up each other and govs

                  The tiktok app could do with some improvements for user privacy something I personally feel every app and website needs improve on

                  Am guessing tiktok app going get banned sooner or later any YouTube competitor always get ended for example vidme

                  Anyway I am wondering what other people's opinions are and choice they make will be if they choose too trust tiktok or not

                    Facebook should be too

                      I wish more governments cracked down on FB and Insta as well. Atleast make them not pre installable on devices. But nope, to cite some comments online - "It's all okay as long as the company is American"

                          Man you cant expect that from dumb politician.
                          Politicians are nothing just people who talks a lot but apart from that they arent any tech geeks.
                          But a good try anyway.

                              We can force ban and delete or restric fron install facebooka s well not only TikTok there are plenty of other apps which should be restrained too, just like badoo, sugar date and tons of others.
                              Also if i were in charge i would prohibit advertising as well like we had no advertising at all in old days before google forced us to live with tons of bloatware everywhere and litterary unable to use brownser without adblockers.

                                  Why not all phones

                                    Government phones, ie work phones shouldn't have any recreational apps on there. You have a personal phone for that. You're being paid to work, not screw around
