    give them Xiaomi Douqin Qin 3 Ultra, so they can't open any app.

        Yeah Google is spying haha. I personally boycott anything from ccp as much as I can.

          with this logic then every social media and messaging app is spying in you.
          I checked my FB app, 448mb of background data for this month, tiktok uses 376mb, twitter uses 297mb, even google message background data is higher than it's foreground data usage.
          you're naive if you really think the main reason for this ban is because of spying issue.
          meta for example paid the largest republican firm in the US to ban TikTok, after congress promise to ban TikTok, meta announced that they will stop paying it's reels creator, convenient right? kill the competitor so FB don't need to offer incentive for it's creator bec FB knows creators have no choice now.

                Good on them. When the Chinese government was publicly complaining about a ban on an app that collects lots of data, that should of been another signal...

                  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

                              They should also "ban" politicians that use this garbage apps, facebook, instagram, snapchat included.

                                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"

                                        David 040882, 16 Mar 2023That's exactly what I wanted to say. Had to come 1 min... moreThe UK for you
