American exceptionalism at its finest: if you can't compete with them, destroy them/make them sell it... For how long will the rest of the world allow these anti-competitive measures from the US?

I agree that banning it is good... but, this should be the time where the US stands up for consumer privacy and data in general. We all know that isn't going to happen, because they don't give a damn about the common people. There is too much money to be made off of other people's data, they just don't want China having it. It is a good thing, but exposes a bigger issue that is left untouched. The government does not truly represent the people unfortunately

I, as lot of other folks here, dislike TikTok with a passion, so good if they ban it.
And while they are at it, maybe ban IG or FB. Even Snapchat would be a great cleanup

Let's lobby the EU to pass a bill that will ban Apple, unless it's sold to Nokia or Philips.

Google and Facebook knowing more about every single person on Earth (including the US) than the KGB did? Who cares!
Apple freaking OWNING our smartphone market because of absurdly anti-competitive iMessage? Who cares!
Our "richest country on Earth" not bothering to give healthcare to its people? F yeah!
School shootings every other week? Heck yeah!
Our "democracy" being the only kind that let the dude the lost the election become president anyway, FOUR TIMES? F YEAH!
Let's ban TikTok! It's not like we have far worse problems at home that we actually cause!

Not Again, 13 Mar 2024US passes bill that could ban TikTok unless ByteDance sells... more"Smells like a monopoly to me
Seriously how do you go from banning Tik Tok to MONOPOLY? rhetorical BTW"
The US wants ByteDance to sell TikTok, which is clearly a successful app, so they can capitalize on it's success. As if that wasn't clear, since they couldn't make a similar service that's more successful. If they just wanted to ban TikTok for some sort of a violation, they wouldn't ask ByteDance to sell it, would they?
"I do hope that Gsmarena restricts the number of post one person can make per topic.."
I do hope that GSMArena restricts targeted harassment comments like yours.
"..turns everything into let's make it all about me,"
Exactly what you are doing with your comments.

Did you even bother to read it before posting this nonsense
Smells like a monopoly to me
Seriously how do you go from banning Tik Tok to MONOPOLY? rhetorical BTW
MONOPOLY (I know you hate things such a SOURCE in his case a dictionary)
The exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service:
A company or group having exclusive control over a commodity or service:
Aa commodity or service in the exclusive control of a company or group:
The exclusive possession, control, or exercise of something:
Is everyone also having difficulty making sense of the post
The correct answer is even if it passes it will fail due to
(Apologies before hand as I cut and pasted this as DY hates accuracy)
The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prevents the government from making laws that: regulate an establishment of religion; prohibit the free exercise of religion; abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the freedom of assembly, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights.
I do know that the former President, to the current wanted to ban Tik Tok also, but was told not to because The First Amendment (Amendment I) SCOTUS "advisory"
Not so much a monopoly but you way in front with comments that are either nonsense, or wrong mostly both.
I do hope that Gsmarena restricts the number of post one person can make per topic as Darling Yext in the near 20 posts on
'Samsung Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 rumored to be quite expensive in India', a few days ago posted this
"my 2021 Tecno Camon 18 Premier is still doing perfectly fine even though it's on Android 12" turns everything into let's make it all about me,
As you can see completely lacks the ability to comment
From 4200 post just before Xmas 2023 to near 6000 now. There hasn't been 1800 articles
