USA is officially no longer a free market economy.

    What would banning tiktok do
    If Instagram reels and YouTube shorts exists?

      Monopolizing even the social media, they don't want any competition from China in any field.

            Anonymous, 13 Mar 2024What's tiktikTicking explosion for byte dance..

            It is usual USA tactics.. it has been for some time if someone profiting better than usa (another country), usa immediately wants to acquire it so money will be pouring to usa..
            if the owners refuse the USA will destroy them.. so ban them ..
            Usa is now buying all businesses across the europe.. including GB
            I was pointing out this a long time ago I already knew their strategy and tactics long time ago .. They will ask any USA business giant (microsoft, google, amazon, apple, meta) all tech to devour company which is standing out..
            USA is nasty, they don't want to anyone profiting higher than them ..
            They will offer their not real debt free printed non realistic money to original owner

              Anonymous, 13 Mar 2024How will you get the non existent Tiktok banned in China? I... more not full of educational videos on Douyin, really not...

              Most of them are at best meaningless.

                I personally will be very happy to see tiktok gone. It would mean that any "decent" content creator will just jump to YouTube for all their content while the bad ones or the ones making suggestive content will have to go get a real job

                  The comment section is condoning authoritarian moves since it's being done by westerners.
                  Sickening.

                    Smells like a monopoly to me..

                      Aren't they already in talks with Microsoft and Oracle?

                            Facebook reels and YT shorts were taken from Tiktok. Vines doesn't count as it was short lived.

                            Can't innovate? Just copy or in this case (ban issue), steal one. Lmao.

                              It's a bit Authoritarian. They should better find ways to introduce protections instead of stealing somebody's platform.
