Trump says he'll act to ban TikTok in U.S.

Trump's comments came after published reports that the administration is planning to order China's ByteDance to sell TikTok. There were also reports Friday that software giant Microsoft is in talks to buy the app.

Reports by Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal citing anonymous sources said the administration could soon announce a decision ordering ByteDance to divest its ownership in TikTok. ByteDance launched TikTok in 2017, then bought Musical.ly, a video service popular with teens in the U.S. and Europe, and combined the two. A twin service, Douyin, is available for Chinese users.

TikTok maintains it doesn't censor videos based on topics sensitive to China and it would not give the Chinese government access to U.S. user data even if asked. The company has hired a U.S. CEO, a former top Disney executive, in an attempt to distance itself from its Chinese ownership.

It's a Chinese spying and mass data collection system. It's being banged for national security. At least Speak the facts..

Liberals and Democrats response to virus in February. Oh Yeah.

Mandrill with too much make up

There goes the youth vote

Why doesn’t he do something about the pandemic rather than diverting everyone’s attention to other things?

How low will he go to prove his racist regime propaganda against China such a sore loser when he doesn't get his way

WHY IS THIS THE THING THAT PUSHES HIM OVER THE EDGE oh right. It's so he can more easily hide the evidence of his horrible and oppressive decisions

Finally something good from Trump. If a country like China can put everyone’s life in danger we better be unite together to downsize it’s economy. We should ban things from China and show respect to all those who died and suffered bcoz of crona.

It’s a Chinese Trojan horse

Doesn’t this worry people? He’s doing it because kids messed his plans for a rally for crying out loud!!! This is the start of a dictatorship!

Good move

It's great the President has his priorities straight and is concerned with extreme issues 🙄🙄 sohappytobeCanadian

He’d like to think that all residents are dumb enough to worry about TikTok and pull the focus there during major decision making about a pandemic as well as many other major issues...don’t be dumb enough.

Too much competition for Russia owned Twitter and Facebook? Where did these two get their start up money? Russian oligarchs

He can’t handle being upended bya group of youth... taking a page from China’s book.

Because it's used by teens to organize against him.

By the way if any of you have used Zoom for online meetings then maybe it is time you check it origins and where data is stored. Way more dangerous than TIkTok ever thought of being

Of course he will, they were not nice to him so the man baby will now throw his customary tantrum.

😆 😂 😂

Good. Canada should do it too

Can someone ban his mouth opening?

Looking mighty orange today🙄

he is just flat out fucking nuts. a thousand people a day ☠️Dying..Covid still spreading like wildire. Brutal

Because he has nothing else to focus on right now... 🙄

Ya sure about dat?

Censorship? What happened to freedom of speech?

Get over it you fuddy duddy

uspoli cdnpoli pnpcbc UKpolitics auspol polcan eupol nzpol CTVppv I see 1 billion Trump memes coming on Toc Tok!

Wow! He’s gonna loose all the 12 year old voters if he does that ...

Blows my mind how the party of small government wants to run the lives of its people from where they are allowed to live, who they can marry, when they can have families..right down to social media. Land of the free?

Won't he be popular with the under 30s

-32 percent gdp and millions getting kicked off pandemic support benefits. Over 150,000 dead thanks to Trump. Cue the distraction. Tik Tok. Racist conmen are so predictable.

The list is longer but here is a short list of important social media and apps blocked in China.

US President takes on teenager video-sharing app. The country is decimated by the coronavirus, racism, a dangerous foreign policy and a vanquished economy, but in his enfeebled mind, this is significant. Ban Trump; the world has had enough of this menacing, mad tyrant.

Bozo

god he’s such a loser

Dictator says what?

I'm just amazed he has time for doing this while he has COVID-19 situation and by tomorrow night he has Isaias!!!

India b put a ban on tik tok did they not? No one seems to care about that. India has prying eyes on us and no one questions that one bit.

Ban the stupid app here too

👍👍 Excellent leadership .... too bad Canada couldn't do the same..... but we don't have a leader

Good . China spy tool . Peadophile tool .

this is... unexpected. going too far this time, man.

He’s just jealous because nobody would follow him if he had an account.

TikTok is the sound of your time running out !!

Good movie, it’s toxic.

Isn’t freedom of speech in the charter of rights? Banning social media encourages social gatherings, right? Maybe I’m missing something.

If people stop giving him press maybe he will go away.

What happened to trump during these past days?

, what is Tik Tok is that like ubuntu The Dark net

Meanwhile laser focused on COVID reliefs

TikTok is literally Chinese spyware

Like that is going to get him votes ... LMAO
