No one is missing the US on tiktok. It's just like they were never there. BTW, it's just tiktok US that was blocked yesterday by Tiktok owners, the rest of us are still enjoying their services. 5 Likes |

The owners of Tik Tok will be the greatest idiots in planet earth if they allow this to happen. It's the USA that needs Tik Tok and not the other way round. The USA is only a small fry amongst the continents.

Great100000: Like Nigeria!   .....It will only be banned in Nigeria if it becomes an opposition to APC government rather than finding a means to get revenue from it.... |

localbreed: You are right, I don't even know those who are even comparing Russia to US. US is far ahead of them. Though Russia is among the world 🌎 power but they are not on the same level with the US. 3 Likes |

Watcharena: Have you forgotten Huawei? If Tiktok is banned in the US, don't you know Playstore and Appstore will remove it from their stores. Appstore and Google play is a US company, and will face a hefty fine if they don't remove it from their stores. So yes, without US approval, Tiktok is worth zero. Within that period yesterday it was banned, you cannot update Tiktok or even new one? 6 Likes |

[quote author=EnglandAmaka post=133794632][/quote] It would be removed from US App Store, not world App Store. Other countries will have access to it. |

Why must America own a stake in TikTok? So that they can have control and access to all data and information just like they do with FB, Instagram, X and others, and ban you if you criticize Isreal Only a fool would not know that this is all Zionist take over 4 Likes |

Hussein035: US will remove it from Appstore and Playstore. You won't see it to . Before they lifted the ban yesterday, and update was already suspended... Tiktok will only be available to on only Huawei phones. That would have been the end of Tiktok if the ban was not lifted 2 Likes |

Hussein035:How much do those other 1 billion s generate for Tiktok? If it were that simple, Tiktok owners would have moved its headquarters elsewhere and focus the other part of the world. Now, Tiktok doesn't have a choice but to sell to Trump's cronies. 2 Likes |

Jovi10: Maybe you will buy a Huawei phone you can use to and update your Tiktok because if US ban it you won't see it to or update on Playstore or Appstore. Update and was already suspended yesterday until the ban was lifted. US owns both Playstore and Appstore. 2 Likes |

Hussein035: Exactly! It’s as simple as that! The only possibility I see is for them to hyper inflate net worth and wait for a dumb person like Elon Musk yo come buy it. It’s 100% certain that if the sale is triggered, the base will decline in the US and that company will lose more than 70% of its value. The ban was a good test run. RedNote became the number one ed app in the US and Meta shares started crashing. 3 Likes |

I knew it would end this way. Following the supreme court ruling would have been so disastrous for the US s. Tiktok, unlike meta platform would reward you for participating in any of the interactive live events on their platform so, it's a win-win. Tiktok makes money, the host makes money, likewise the participants. People have become millionaires by g up on Tiktok unlike the meta platforms. YouTube doesn't even reward as much as Tiktok does. Me wey be say na Tech live events I dey , tiktok rewards me regularly. But 50% ownership go hard oo. How many percentage does China have over meta to begin with? 1 Like |

EnglandAmaka:you also forgot that each phone now come with their own Appstore where you can apps Huawei is still among the biggest phone manufacturers. A lot of business happen outside US influence. If you don't see new models of Huawei phones in your country it only means that your country is still one of US satellites More than 60% of the world population is outside US influence 1 Like |
