President Donald Trump’s bans on two popular Chinese social media apps — TikTok and WeChat — are the latest moves in an escalating U.S.-China rift, and point to a future where technology and innovation are increasingly walled behind political barriers.

“We are entering an era of an increasingly bifurcated internet, where it may become more difficult for Chinese information companies to succeed outside of China,” said Lindsay Gorman, a fellow specializing in emerging technologies at the Alliance for Securing Democracy.

Within China, WeChat is censored and expected to adhere to content restrictions set by authorities. The Citizen Lab internet watchdog group in Toronto says WeChat monitors files and images shared abroad to aid its censorship in China. It’s not clear what will result from Trump’s executive orders, how WeChat and TikTok users will be affected, whether Tencent’s other operations are at risk, or whether there is legal authority for what Trump wants to do.

Chinese men are ideal for erotic homosexual intercourse though they cause pandemic after pandemic. They are still erotic men 🌹 Everything is about homosexual intercourse for us men. We must indulge in prostate stimulation to save the planet 🌎

Look at that little hand.

CCP is engaged in a conspiracy to steal personal information from America,and is doing it in broad daylight with no shame or embarrassment in having been caught red-handed.The reputational damage to China as a nation and to hard-working,honest Chinese themselves is incalculable.

CCP has banned almost all US apps in mainland china 10 years ago. It’s too late now for US to take action but better than none. CCP is the elephant in room for AP.

Look at that child's fist that he got. Did he steal his fists from a child?

Good idea

That would match journalistic barriers then. Bias

Censorship is one criterea of neofascism in democracy camouflage. Fascism indicates end of capitalism after ruling 300 years leading to billion deaths. But socialism & environmentalism are Not the answers. Praising production force Capital, Labor or environment is retro

Oh really.. the US invents the technology and the Chinese steal it.

Cuz tRump's a DICK tator

Where are the freedom loving guys with guns.

Technology war baby!!!

He’s just mad that the app frequently has user based agendas that are against him. He realizes that the majority of the younger based populous is disgusted by him. Can’t risk being exposed, mocked, or unable to run his dictatorship. He’s disgusting.

Tik Tok song of the decade!

I’m sorry you said “RIFT” ? They killed over 150 thousand AMERICAN CITIZENS This is disgraceful

Do you think you should talk a little about the merits of his move? Or do you just want to assume it's dumb cuz it's Trump?

While he’s at it all those sun at the centre of the solar system believers ought to be chucked out too!

US president act like Mafia, blackmail private company with no evidence whatsoever national security issue as an excuse. Shameful and Unjust!

Why doesn’t Trump ban 8kun, the spawn of alt right 8chan, still hosting racial hatred and murderous plots along with child pornography. It’s managed by a cloaked RUSSIAN server!

😷

Democrats have pushed intelligence officials to release information to the public, arguing that only a broad declassification of the foreign interference attempts can inoculate voters against attempts by Russia, China or other countries to try to influence voting. Tell the people

Imagine in 2016 hearing that the president would issue an executive order to ban a random video app. Anything nefarious on it, nope. Just told kids to pretend to go to his rallies and done.

The TrumpSupporter Strategy for dealing with all of the TrumpLies during debates:

Wait till “Giiina”reneges on Ivankas patents. That will really piss Donny off.

Not just Tiktok or Wechat, we need to understand security concerns with all other Apps who are sending and saving personal Info outside country. Not safe!

It's clearly a coincidence that Trump's ban on TikiTok came the same day as Facebook's released their TikTok clone, Instagram Reels. I'm sure its not another market manipulation quid pro quo from Trump, payment for Facebook's assisting Trump's continuous disinfo campaign.

So Trump is now deciding what apps we can use!! People have been correct in their estimation that he wants to take away all choice for Americans.

JRWeaver55 are Google Facebook Twitter n such freely available in China or are they behind a firewall..?

Good thing Jared uses WhatsApp for his calls to Saudi Arabia

Fuck technology & innovation。

He's still pissed about Tulsa.. TickTok

TLDR: historically failed business man can’t scam the Chinese government like he wanted to so he will singlehandedly try set US / China trade relations back to the pre-Nixon era.

Trump didn't know TicTok from a pet rock, Looked at the numbers, it was really a shock TicTok passes your data to the PRC, Ruler for life is the evil President Xi. No Way, said Trump and he put TicTok on lock.

Look at that tan line.

He want to ban tiktok because of this:

Biblicalidiot

Ozônio is the cure to the tramp?

I don’t use either so, but this seems to be a First Amendment issue. As our technology evolves, the methods of exercising free speech also evolves. This will not stand.

He is a crazy killer. He is a criminal like Biden. Bill Clinton and Hillary, like Obama and Bush and Bush's father. It's also a murderous robber with the same evil as Jimmy Carter, a heinous criminal.

Right out of the god father....Gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse.....

Trump is playing Chinese checkers against China.

I wonder if the teens will now go to rumble and parler

Dork. At least the he will be Voted out November 3.

I don't agree with Trump on much and his reasons for doing this are probably different but I don't trust Russian or Chinese companies about keeping data away from their governments. I never understood how our federal agencies could use Kasperisky (Russian) computer programs.

Somebody is still angry about getting owned by a bunch of teens on Tik Tok.

You are China centric.....national security issue.

Although Tiktok at least really is pretty much friggin' spyware. That's been firmly established. It was inevitable.

Still bigger hands than Obama 🍻

Sorry TikTok lol

Boom... China must pay.

Homeboy does not look good. I mean, even worse than he already did.

where's Generation Z?

Not due to a US-China rift. Due to Tik Tok users kicking his ass.

This will cost Trump the Election coronavirus BlackLivesMatter tiktokdown

well when china spys on you, you stop that shit.

Wall St. dips on slowing job growth, U.S.-China tensionsThe S&P 500 pulled back from near six-month highs on Friday as data showed a sharp slowdown in U.S. employment growth and President Donald Trump cranked up friction with Beijing with moves to ban WeChat and TikTok.

Wall street does something and then we pick whatever headline is available. The real reason is that swing and day traders are out before the weekend. Always.
