Chai!!! Bye Bye TikTok in USA

I hope Trump will solution to this.

TikTok is part of some people source of income in USA

TikToks Problems:
But you refused to tell the gaulibles audiences - that TikTok is an avenue for Chinese to be getting Information about America,but the Americans are Smarter- than the Foreigners like the Chinese!
- USA are very Patrotic People, unlike Nogerians- that can sell there Secret - even to Terrorists and Kidnappers - for Money!
- the US - Supreme Court - do Not share your business Model - where enemies will be Monitoring the Americans and transferring them to China.
Did you know that Chinese are the Most Secretive Country and the North Korea.
- Most of the Si called Chinese Students - in USA and Europe 🌍- are Agents of the China!

Infotubia9ja:
As to today tiktok shuts down and no longer works in America.
Our only source of rapid information has been stripped away from the people of America.

It was great having Tiktok while it last.

They are already on Rednote. the app.

Charley2020:
App has done more damage than good in some cases, so the ban will definitely have positive effects on society, the extent to which I can't say. FB, YT, and Instagram were still the most used SM apps in the US in 2024 despite the presence of Tiktok, so I doubt Tiktok will be missed much.

Compare tiktok rapid growth to every other social media behind it, and you will realize how it is a distuptor.
FB, YT and IG already had 2 generations of s before TT came on board. TT owns the new generations and is doing what GTB did to banks in nigeria.

smokinloud:
Tiktok will never find salvation under Trump's presidency. Its promotion of Islamism and opposition to Western values are significant concerns. Interestingly, China has banned the app within its borders, citing similar worries about islamism and protectionism. China wants to use the app to tackle and undermine Western values in the US while preventing it in its own territory. I'd advise Trump to consider imposing sanctions on any Western nation that permits the tiktok app within its territory.

You are right.
Tiktok is not allowed in China. It's replica called Douyin is heavily regulated by Chinese Government. Jihadist content are filtered out through AI

Akhaz024:
you think the interest of US and other western countries will always align with each other.
So US trying to steal other western country land is an align interest. Hopefully other countries will wake up soon.

US is not stealing anybody's land.
It seems you're referring to Canada and Greenland. If Canada relies heavily on US for its survival and subsidy from US for it's subsistence then merging with the United States might be a viable option, given their shared historical roots. Similarly, that of Greenland, its perpetual dependent on Denmark, could make the citizens consider ing the US, citing geographical proximity and potential benefits.

It would have been better to ban it in Nigeria, along with other social media platforms, to help our children focus on their studies. Social media is having a detrimental effect on our youth. We may not always notice it, but when you take a closer look, you'll understand.

slowly but steadily turning them to zombies.

AirBere:


Not only this, Reddit, BBC, Google , yahoo, Netflix, Spotify, Wikipedia, and many more. It's true.

Serious.

idahme:


Research before saying nonsense, if America was ecen serious they wont allow it the first time. American social media giants were all banned in China till today, no Facebook, Instagram, youtube etc none

Most of them are just Islamic terrorist apologist.
Like Iran,North Korea, Russia isn't worse.
There is no place for Islamic terrorism anymore, on that I trust China and ruthless putin to deal with them mercilessly.

I wish that was enough. But even if you don’t use it and someone on your network is, high chances are they’re already tracking your devices and collecting information about you just from that person being on your network.

The tech billionaire oligarchy has been long in the making.

descarado:
This tiktok was not monetised before.
After monetization, it became very popular.

Oh well, wetin concern me.
Facebook o, tiktok, name them, you won't see me there.

If not for official stuff,nobody will see me near WhatsApp.

If I need social media, I have youtube. For naija, nairaland and I'm OK with the two

amiibaby:
This is a case of revenge

revenge of what

Can they kindly ban it in Nigeria too?

YeribanzaGoat:


Shut up!!! You ignorant fellow. Is there any American app that works in China? Una no know anything but na una mouth big to talk rubbish.

danvon:

Tiktok would have been allowed on one condition, if they would make it an American company.

The whole noise is simply because they couldn't control it to do their bidding and turn it to another propaganda Twitter.

That's is the condition they gave tiktok..... Divest or shut down.... They said they will rather shut down than make it an American company..... The Chinese had sinister motive....

I am afraid I have to agree with you.

cococandy:


TikTok is not a Chinese app. See who’s talking of ignorance. TikTok is even banned in China. It’s a Singaporean owned and run company. With an office in China.

Ignorant piece of ****..... Douyain is the parent company and is what runs in china.... And it's Chinese.... Tiktok is the other version for outside chinaw ......Keep fooling yourselves...

madridguy:
In a country where there is freedom and liberty The US government should stop behaving like a tyrant.

I don't do all the social media cos I don't have the strength to keep up. It's tedious task to me.
Also, govt and govt agencies know the s that show flag off and they monitor such. When some flag off words are repeatedly used, some organisations, beliefs and stuffs like that, they put a watch on them. Also, social media is used to share coded info. Govt have the right to be alert.
For people like us that banter online on frivolous things like family, food and stuffs like that, they care less
Even here, tall anyhow and they will pick you up though it's free world.

Is this true? Can someone confirm if this is true..

They gave them the option to sell it

Yusman316:

Well, China is not a democracy or have you forgotten that

China is s country, and countries transact business with foreign entities whether it is a democracy or not.

BenuePolitician:


This your keyboard deserves to be banned in Nigeria

You go sabi find trouble, leave my keyboard alone

This is a very sad one. Going to affect a lot of things.

the owner of tiktok will never agree lol...

smokinloud:


Or do you think ISLAMISM or COMMUNISM could potentially supplant DEMOCRACY?

How can we know if we don't try them

Capitalism has done its best ,let it give way to another form of government now .

Democracy doesn't have to be the way the west want it,but they don't get it and think it has to be universal.
Let's try another form of government and make informed decisions
Not solely rely on what the west , which has been proven to be hypocritical tell us about democracy.
Has the west not toppled democratically elected governments just because he didn't align with them?
To the west, democracy equals capitalism and thats why people are pushing back

smokinloud:

TikTok's value will plummet if it's banned in the US, because of the enormous economic influence of the US. just look at what happened to Napster...
If the US government discovers that s are circumventing the ban, they may implement stringent measures, such as firewalls, to restrict all access to the app.

Just as the value of Huawei plummeted right?

You guys worship the US too blindly.

Wake up, the world has grown past this. The future is currently towards the East.

justwise:


Many of you are missing the point cococandy was trying to make, it doesn’t matter whether Trump signed the bill or not, this banning idea was initiated by Trump and now the same Trump is acting like a nice guy who wants to sort things out.

Initiated how?

Like he came up with the bill right?

If yes, how come he didn't sign it only for Biden to do?

Our only source of rapid information has been stripped away from the people of America.

Did Twitter die? Who is this baby Gen Z?

The idea that we should abandon capitalism and democracy for socialism, communism, or Islamism is not only misguided but also dangerous. Freedom is the cornerstone of human prosperity, and these alternative systems have consistently demonstrated their inability to provide it.

Capitalism, with all its flaws, has lifted millions out of poverty and created unprecedented prosperity. It's a system that rewards innovation, hard work, and entrepreneurship, allowing individuals to pursue their ions and improve their lives. In contrast, socialism and communism have been tried and failed, leading to economic stagnation, oppression, and human rights violations.

The notion that democracy must be abandoned because the West has promoted it is a false dichotomy. Democracy is a universal value that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. It's a system that protects individual rights, promotes ability, and ensures that power is distributed evenly.

Moreover, the argument that the West has toppled democratically elected governments is a red herring. While it's true that Western powers have intervened in foreign governments, this doesn't negate the value of democracy itself.

In fact, studies have shown that economies with freer markets tend to have better outcomes, including higher incomes, better environmental outcomes, and improved healthcare. This is because capitalism promotes competition, innovation, and efficiency, leading to better products and services.

In conclusion, abandoning capitalism and democracy for socialism, communism, or Islamism would be a step backward. Freedom is the best thing in life, and no other system can provide it like capitalism. Rather than trying unproven and discredited alternatives, we should work to refine our democratic systems, promoting greater ability, transparency, and individual freedom.

unfortunately you can't. Our children are the ones developing modern techs these days. So you can't deny them access but just limit and watch their consumption. Period! 😏

You guys worship the US too blindly.

Wake up, the world has grown past this. The future is currently towards the East.

Huawei's value didn't plummet because it was never totally banned in the US. The US government only prohibited federal agencies from using Huawei equipment, citing security concerns. Huawei's consumer business remained unaffected.

Regarding TikTok, a US ban would indeed impact its value, given the platform's significant base in the US. However, this isn't about 'worshipping' the US; it's about recognizing the country's influence on global markets.

The world is indeed evolving, and the East is rising. Still, the US remains a crucial player in global economics and technology. Ignoring this reality won't change the fact that US markets and decisions significantly impact global business.
