Why president Xi isn't retaliating by hitting the likes of Microsoft?

Why on earth would bill gates owing tiktok be better than China owning it?

They stole.

Why would the free world allow such a crap app?

A support for TIKTOK is a support for Trump.... 🌻

TikTok row: Microsoft pursues deal as Pompeo says orange man will take action soon

Microsoft needs reevaluate who they want on their side. The tiktok_us family will remember if they stood with them or supported a corrupt administration for profit. FreeSpeech LincolnProject

'soon'

Have to make sure a person deserves vaccine

Yeah, those kids' videos are really a security threat. Trump and Pompeo are effing crazy.

A treat to entertainment.

It's disappointing to see a semi-reputable company like MS deal with despots like Pompeo and Trump.

Because Trump couldn’t stop Tik Tok. Too funny

Poor little baby realDonaldTrump

Pompeo is corrupted

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.
