Yeah, so is Facebook and Twitter selectively censoring content, particularly anything with centre to right leaning content. But go ahead and tell us how Trump having concerns about an app created by a country with a proven track record of espionage is an 'existential threat'.

Carbon dioxide warriors are demanding a future even Orwell couldn't imagine

Don’t agree - theft of personal data by a Govt is a security threat

i remember ur paper wasnt shite

Utter Guardian Myth

tik tok is an existential threat to the well being of young people the world over shitrag

But their stealing American dances 🤔

Tik Tok is undoubtedly storing facial recognition and voice recognition data. All the preset filters they give you map your face and your voice. And people repeatedly use the filter to get the perfect video. It saves each time you try. Change my mind

No it isn't. Ridiculous statement. Existential threat to some firms / apps at worst (or best maybe).

Nah, TikTok is a threat to national security. China outright bans Facebook and Instagram due to their divisive nature and influence on their youth, we likewise should keep the spies out of our pockets.

Parents can do without the CCP spying on the children/adolescents of the USA using a mobile application 🇺🇸.

US telling tikTok they cant be owned by Chinese an have to be sold to Microsoft etc is astonishing peice of imperialism akin to the British forcing them to allow them to sell heroin to Chinese citizens, You cant be a success internet/app company unless your American - staggering

No it isn't.
