Won't use it anyway

So: - Microsoft gets richer by buying TikTok for a knockdown price - Users' data is no safer because it was not inside China (and anyway TikTok's data is limited) Maybe this is what America's stance on China was really about - commercial advantage.

Fxxxxxx american gov is using every mothod they can to interrupt the market, print money to blow the stock up, using policy to force chinese company to sell. The america is the socialism itself.

OK I'm so confused nothing makes sense. Is tik tok getting banned of sold?

Between Tik Tok & tweeting about changing the election date.. Trump has completely change the subject off the economic report on Friday. Now that he has done his only job (assuring his reelection) he can go golfing today.

Poor americans are convinced that tik-tok is stealing information to chinese gov, however, it prove samerican are not smart enough to identify what their gov say is true or not. And american don't have app freedom at all.

FYI: Trump had no actual authority to block an app, but hey.

I don't even use Tik Tok and never would, so if gets ban. I would be fine with it. Just tired hearing about it.

Trump says he will ban TikTok in the USUS security officials fear the Chinese-owned app could be used to collect Americans' personal data. A desperate person. Imagine. A social media app collecting people's personal data. Tiktok is indeed a threat! Once i thought my personal data was not that important, but since China controls more and more towards the people, I realized that using those apps = China can know what you are doing anytime anywhere! It’s horrifying.
