Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says that the United States is 'certainly looking at' banning Chinese social media apps, including TikTok

“I don’t want to get out in front of the President , but it’s something we’re looking at,” Pompeo said in an interview with Fox News. The app, which is not available in China, has sought to distance itself from its Chinese roots to appeal to a global audience and has emphasized its independence from China.

All the🌍countries that share information within their borders utilising🇺🇸US digital platforms, are in need to be comcern with their information, shared with the🇺🇸US government.

Good

They don’t get young ppl’s votes anyway.

US🇺🇸 international surveillance is a fact in a multipolar🌏🌎🌍

Lol, usa companys sell clients info all the time, usa dont ban them

LOL, Does Pompeo feel left out without those info? Or his collection from FB, IG and SnapChat are not enough?

Sounds like some fabricated bullshit from Pompeo

Right, because THAT is a State issue, right? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

If you believe Pompeo,pig could fly..

No. It's over that rally. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Those Tiktok kids trolled Trump hard and he can't stand it. That's the reason

Sharing PORN.

.SecPompeo grow up already.

¿No tiene nada que ver que sea la competencia de las compañías de USA?

Then fakebook(fakebook) also should be banned.

More lies from trump and his goons

didn't Q use tiktok?

Isn’t the data for Tik Tok collected outside of China?

Correct, China interferes within all companies within its territory, the data collection for manipulation is real. I have this app installed, but I know it is a big danger to privacy, that's obvious!

China 🇨🇳 and its government is & would remain a threat to the peaceful co-existence of Humanity, the world should stand up to confront the Chinese Communist Party' if humanity must survive'BoycottChina2022Olympics.

This wouldn’t have anything 2 do w/Tulsa & canc NH rally (event day weathr ok), his online store full of abandoned carts (products made in China) or his app rated 1.2⭐️(any lower=Apple may del). Coincidence TT doesn’t allow political ads? TTer’s playin his game & he don’t like it

What he really means is the apps success at thwarting cheater in chief. 😂

If you watch Fox, you live on a different planet. If you believe words of Pempeo, you lived in a different universe.

That would hurt more American consumers

Keep thinking until americans' privacy is fully collected by CCP

This wouldn’t even be on their radar if it weren’t for the fragile ego of Trump...didn’t like being made a fool of. That is the bottom line.

Wanna bet there's a developer in the U.S. just waiting for it to be banned?

Chinese apps are data pipelines. Idea behind collecting world data is simple, China wants to use them for AI development. No country will ever going to share personal data of own citizens with other countries, so it leave no choice for China but to steal 'em thru cellphone apps.

I guess he’s probably gonna say those kids were controlled by China😂😂😂

Wondering how much of the administration’s concern emanates from the Tulsa debacle.

Users on TikTok must be hurting them quite a bit.

رغم اني اكره البرنامج هذا الا احس بس لانه صيني سووا عليه ضجة

Tik tok and other Chinese apps can access your entire phone including your photos and likely even your email

What about youtube ?

Because teenagers used it to confuse tickets for Trump’s Tulsa rally, a COVID19 superspreader event. They should all get medals for keeping the crowd small.

Who got their little feelers hurt at their empty Tulsa rally? Who believed Brad when he promised millions of fans breathing in the Tulsa rona? Poor baby! Now, who thinks NH is going to look the same. :)

Donald Trump is an idiot but even a stopped clock is right every once in a while.

Time to hit that panic button Zoomers...😂😂😂

By what means is it even possible for the Federal govt to ban it?

Imagine all the info CCP has on Americans. Kids should know what ccp does with private info. They use it to harrass, brainwash, deceive, steal from blackmail, poison, torture or kill a person. Based on what the person thinks of CCP .Just ask Hong Kongers. Ban it already.

HAHA

This APP collects face detection back to China, please remove it! Protect your family please!

You guys didn’t do they much research. Tiktok is just the Chinese version of douyin痘印。Douyin only works in china as they don’t want foreigners have influence in China. They created tik tok for the foreign market and banned its use in China

GOOD NEWS: In addition to Chinese social networks, including TikTok, also completely ban Chinese platforms such as bilibili. The CCP steals information with an unconcerned countenance.

The Trump administration has also called the coronavirus outbreak a Democratic conspiracy.🤷🏻‍♀️

Righttttt. This is going to happen right after they reform Twitter and Facebook. AKA not happening.

The land of the free...

He means like FB, Tweeter, Google and others do?

sarahcpr

propaganda people

Bah it’s because those TIK TOK kids are making Trump look more a fool then he is.

This is so rediculous! So Facebook, and other SM apps never shared information with the US gouvernement? What was the information used for?

No. They don’t do the same. Chinese apps can access other parts of your iPhone including photos and email.

This is shaky constitutional territory. and a very communist thing to do....

It’s fxxking ridiculous

DeleteTikTok you guys are just too naive. Welcome to be a Chinese. Zero privacy. Great.

Ok china i mean u.s.a.

Oh Pompeo said. No one believes his bs.

Since when the great US copy indians' move? Where is American first in this? Disgrace!

1lowbattery No more sarahcpr videos? Fuck

About time!

It‘s ridiculous!

More likely, they’re in direct competition with Trump’s buddy M.Z.

Tik tok should return to HK to tell trump no we don't care...tik tok has my data dancing to shit music. They don't have anything else... Google on the other hand....

Trump doesn’t like that tiktokteens ruined his little rally 💯

From a developer...

Ok, so Facebook -Messed with the election -Stole data from thousands of hundreds of americans -Is a breeding ground for dangerous missinformation -Was/is a space for extremists But they're just banning tiktok. I'm sure this is not political at all

May be U.S should have their own version of Tik Tok , because anything Trump does not like is forced down Americans. It's an abuse of power.

Trump just wants to ban TikTok because Sarah Cooper sarahcpr uses that platform to make fun of Sir Misogyny the Orange.

Of course banning TikTok has nothing to do with Trump's tantrum over getting punked.

BongWeird দেখো ভাই, 😂 তোমাদের পর এবার ইউএস ও 😂😂🤣

So why don’t we rip it off from them like they would do to us. Then provide the app, spy free Seems only fair.

It is just an application that does not harm anything

This is bc TicToc ruined his trumprallytulsa not bc of the Chinese human rights violations and genocide. He a petty petty dude.

Yeah, cus Facebook is so trusting, but you know tiktok is Chinese so it’s bad lol

U.S ban tiktok.. Before, Iran iraq afghanistan etc. banned like tiktok... twitter facebook etc turkey(country) is preparing to ban social media networks... where is the world going to...?

They can’t legally do that, but that’s never stopped this administration before.

Nothing to do with messing your rally up then !

Lol he’s so mad he got pranked by a bunch of teenage tik tok users. What a tool!

How is this technology possible

Ban it from universe pls

He's just mad they ruined his rally 😂😂

'Over concerns about its Chinese origin'? 🤣🤣🤣 Over concerns about its abuse and misuse, more like! Why are you trying to mislead you readership?

TikTok is one app; we need to define our coexistence in the digital space with China. The CCP has already done that from their side.

Should have done that a long time ago. China considers the U.S as its enemy. Anything produced in Chiba is designed to trap and injure the enemy... they are out for complete control. Gov’s are supposed to protect their citizens from hostile enemies

The🇺🇸US government is inspiring a multipolar🌍🌎🌏 to be concern about: 🇺🇸US origin of digital platforms. It's evident that: the🇺🇸US always spies in all 🌏Leaders&countries& cynically accuse China in false terms of actions, in that US is Leader as massive🌏 SURVEILLANCE.

Do as soon as possible...

And what is the difference between passing personal information to China and passing it to the US? Our privacy has been compromised and invaded too long ago. No need for excuses!

Ban that effing nip app!

what else other than against China Pompeo has done in years😂😂😂

Couldn't have anything to do with the tiktokers embarrassing trump over crowd size could it? Youth mobilization? Suppression?

All because Trump was trolled by its American users.

They can try...

VPN for sale, you may need it

Good, ban it and get kids off of these apps and outdoors in the sunshine and active.

maybe it'll be a step in the right direction of making people not so damn sensitive and babied

who gives a shit, get rid of tik tok make people get real jobs

ccp try to use apps to steal other country technology

Should had been done long ago... Data theft by Chinese Tech companies with allegiance to Communist Party of China (CPC) is huge and damaging...

This is bull! They’re still mad about that low turnout “rally”.

Obviously nothing to do with tiktok teens pranking his rally?

Nah, they don’t give a damn about security or Facebook would be in far more trouble. Vindictive trump is pissed at his huuuge Tulsa fail and TikTok’s part in making him look bad. Enjoy this video/song to see why trump is really after TikTok...

Because FB does a better job?

Майкл не в курсе, что большинство 'популярных приложений' американского происхождения? И 'опасения' работают в обе стороны. Хочет 'железный занавес' - получит.

Interesting so powerful country is taking so much time to ban tiktok

This app literally has tens of millions of users in the US. This is the most anti-First Amendment thing I've ever heard of. Someone needs to bring this to the Supreme Court. Hopefully, they'll rule against this. Otherwise, America is dead.

If I were american id be worried about my own companies not some company half way across the world.

Is it true that Ivanka Trump bought voting machines from China? Moreover, that those machines could be set up at will, meaning can make changes from Dem. votes to Reps. votes? Is Sec. of State Pompedo banning selectively?

Yeah, this is old news! They’ve been considering this for some time now. Either act on it or hold the fire! But I suspect this is more a matter of creating a narrative for the election!

ChristinaP

No, Trump administration is considering banning TikTok because teens were able to use it to show each other how to embarrass Trump at his pitiful rally in Tulsa.

Every k pop kid will get a vpn

The US should consider banning Trump within our borders. Lock him up or ship him out.

Weaponizing teen apps. Wow. I hope the american public will have none of it. What’s next banning google cause the founder is a Moscow Russian?

Who cares. Its stupid anyways

TikTok is annoying. I hope they do.

But TikTok makes up 50% of whatever is left of the economy

Ok lang ako mag tiktok di naman ako sikat eh HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Globalization gave us Covid, now this. Let History note that America was destroyed by powerful Capitalists drunk on foreign slave labor.

Please ban we cheat also

TomWong93767868 All Chinese applications and softwares are the same, please ban it too.

People should realize that software from China cannot be trusted. It jeopardizes everyone's privacy and even affects national security🤷

yawn. do as i say not as i do. classic

VPN for sale,😂😂😂

Where is the evidence? I think it’s a free country in US, you can’t accuse people without evidence.

Hmm...your call I guess, I don't trust it though.

Ruining Trump’s rallies is a threat to national security. 🎃🎃

CKMKB

China also denies that the communists run the government DUH!

But do they “strongly” deny it?!?

His base loves tiktok. They will get mad. Can't do that!

Ban it ASAP

No online an app from the free world singlehadedly enforces a govt/party speech suppression against entire ethnic groups (Ughurs) & nationalities (HongKongers) like TikTok w/ China’s CCP. TikTok can’t demonstrate compliance w/ suppression mandate w/o sharing data w/ CCP.

Then government officials, military, national defences services should be prohibited to use TikTok. Problem solved.

Trump play for revenge for the teenagers ruining his rally numbers

Snowden showed how the US is collecting data from individuals all over the world.And spying. Nobody is forced to use tiktok.

Traitors in the Administration.

Ban Chinese people as well who are stealing intellectual properties USA China

The reasons why Chinese eat bats and everything..

TikTok collects all data back to China, please remove it

Well I’m sorry to say that for once he’s right. As long as all Chinese persons an companies are obliged to share everything with the communist party. I don’t trust the Chinese at all.

Please ban WeChat, too.

Well, it's yours and your family at the end of the day, Americans 😏 You be the judge 👇

Please ban TikTok ASAP!!!!! Please 😫

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo couldn't find China with a map of Beijing and a guide

Brain dead idea. Google and Facebook already done that.

TikTok Data: People are stupider that we thought...

We’re seriously thinking about banning SecPompeo from thinking. Wait, he has no brain. Never mind.

Do it. thejointstaff

There’s zero evidence that the data is shared. Everyone should always assume if you post onsocial media it’s public.

09d

Beside other degenerate crap on it.

Well hell, let's ban Facebook too since they are doing a helluva lot worse.

tiktok doesn’t allow political ads so he can’t campaign there also its cuz of tik tok we took up all the space to his last rally and he doesn’t wanna be embarrassed again

Just ban them pls

You mean, because it doesn't share information with the US government.

Not because of Trump's rally in Tulsa? Teens share info with Chinese government? 😂😂😂 About what? Music? Video games? Selfies?

Trump shares info with the Chinese government so WTF

What kind of freedom and fair. Just like another action of quit WHO. Ridiculous!

So all other countries must ban Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and Whatsapp because they cooperate with FBI and CIA.

Just because BLM is spreading faster in tik tok?

This is a conspiracy lie.

Well done. Ban chinese products

Great. Banning a Chinese spy tool is sensible.

People forgot Tiktok has a history of privacy problem. They were fined $5.7m by FTC for violating children privacy. Would not trust a Chinese company that spy on millions of cellphone users and took advantage of children data.

KanthanPillay So TikTok users embarrass Trump so the administration wants to ban the application? 😂😂😂 Peurile behaviour at best

This day,the US set up a firewall,following mainland's step.

The IMPOTUS is pissed he was punked in Tulsa.

BS, it because that how the teenagers got trump rally tickets! VoteTrumpOut

😅😅

Oh those Parler 'they're censoring me' clowns like tedcruz and DevinNunes better get on this.

1. Does anyone need a job that works from home? There are no restrictions on where you work and no commitment required Can earn $500 - $1000 a day Leave your WhatsApp if you need it!

Best news today

What if China bans FB, Twitter & other U.S based Social media apps? Pompeo? How will you spread your & your boss Trump's lies & propaganda to China & defeat your existential threat yellow China? Evangelical from heartland or Satan from heartland? Madness from heartland!

This is a false claim China wants private information from many social media platforms they have all refused! There is zero evidence any data has been shared because this is called propaganda! Fake news! Deflection!

Or because TikTok users punked Trump in Tulsa?

Good. Dumb app

Weird that we acknowledge harvesting user data is harmful but we seem to think it's fine as long as it's an American company doing the harm.

Good, I hope them and Australia follow India and ban it. Its using personal data for its own good and abusing its users. Already suicides from it are on the rise since it gives its users a false sense of favoritism they're scared to lose in the ban. BanTikTok

Good job

Or that it ruined a Trump rally

Of course, it's totally okay when Trump shares US secrets with totalitarian regimes.

They hv got hold of HK -usd400+ b reserves. Big picture? Today you banned one tik tok, tomorrow they can build another 10. Have US done with the talking?

Anyone can tell me if it's against human rights?

China would retaliate and ban Google, Facebook and Twitter.

Please, Please, ban TicTok! Only to see what happens and the outrage.

Translation: Teenagers and K-pop fans used TicTok to punk Dump realDonaldTrump to make him and his crowd SMALL.. Must ban the app!

Americans certainly looking at banning Trump & his crew in November. TrumpsFailedPresidency TrumpDeathToll132K

It is a great start. Communist China is using all media, computer apps or whatever they can to steal. Information from us. More needs to be done. About Communist China.

AdelleNaz Indian forces already broke the bone of Chinese defence personals,they are hiding the number of casulities. Indian already banned chininese app,US just making noise,has not done anything on ground to hurt chininese. Modi is Rocking

🙄

But not twitter

So you posted a comment bashing Pompeo and taking 🇨🇳 side of the debate. If you were in China, your comments would get you arrested.

Fxxk Tiktok and all China app banchineseapp BanChina BoycottChina

Ban all spyware, thanks!

Tiktok is cancer anyway. You gonna do us a favor tiktokiscrap

Get on and do it!! It’s foreign spyware. Or; just steal it and ban the original. Let’s try a little intellectual theft ourselves.

Independently of your political view, Tik Tok is a haven for pedophilia.

Is this guy using certain substances?

yes tiktok is spyware but it’s the best spyware on my phone 🤳🏻

BoycottChineseApp

A good decision. Never trust China's state-controlled enterprises like Huawei or TikTok which will pose huge threats to national security.

The wording indicates there is something going on behind the curtain

GloryT0HongKong Of course ban them! they dont ever let fb ig twitter in china, this is no reason to let their app in America.

Nidhi The only thing US should ban is Pompeo around a buffet

Just because of Sarah Cooper?

Irrelevant Mikey!

Of course he will. Tiktok has tons of actual Americans supporting Biden and trolls foreign trolls can’t make it there to spread misinformation. No wonder TikTokBan is on the table. VoteForBiden. VoteForBidenIsVoteForAmerica VoteOutTrump Election2020

Ban the Trump app!

Should also ban wechat.

IMHO this is about revenge. A common GOP practice. They’re pissed off at TikTok for the con our young people pulled off in Tulsa. The kids did their part. We should all be so very proud that these young people see through Trump/GOP.

What a blowhard. This is all theater to distract people.

I think sarahcpr is really making Trump mad.

Wouldn't want the Russians to have competition...

In case Biden wins, then Chinese apps will be back with vengeance Only Trump administration have the guts to take China down.

It’s about time. China created it knowing it would be like crack for that generation.

American Freedom🤣

What happens if 👇️ Secretary of Xi Jinping said the Republic of China is 'certainly looking at' banning American products, including Amazon.

But not FB asshole.

Generally banning these days are not of any use, many twisted ways could be used!

Looks like someone is still butthurt about Tulsa

We need to do that in our country

I do understand the seriousness of this, but why isn’t any top officials from the Trump administration addressing the issue of Russian bounty on the US troops? Isn’t that also a pressing issue, be it hoax or real?

Yes please! The sooner the better. All about national security.

what will right-wing hate groups do now?

He needs to look at a salad.

Needed a new phone. I deliberately went out and got Huawei because the Trump administration don't like them.

Good!

Hey LASSO this is your moment

Psywin Snowden wants a word

This is a slippery slope. Go down this path America will losing its freedom and become a English-speaking Russia or China.

goodbye Charli d'amelio

Pompeo needs a ban from the cookie jar.

Carry as many guns as you want but do not dance!!!!!

In the meantime, COVID-19 piles up the bodies. 'Pompeo -- remember what happened to the dinosaurs.'

Hello Biden the White house is all yours after Nov the 4th.. Vietnam war dodger crook, Crafty, cunning and yet a Clueless Covfefe Trump needs a miracle to win & miracles are hard to come by Shed red Go blue RussiaGate

Ban yourself already

Secretary of the State Mike Pompeo said the United States is 'certainly looking at' banning Chinese social media apps, including TikTok.

Welcome to communism!

If you have even low level security, you can't have it on a work device. But I wouldn't piss off a generation of young voters for a campaign strat

Wtf I'm Republican now

Nidhi Good luck. The constitutional rights in USA are absolute, especially freedom of expression. The courts won't fall for pseudo nationalism or vague security issues

You can’t handle the fury of millions of teenage girls. They will crush you like a bug. Anyone with daughters know

And? The rest of the world will not ban it.

joke

Everyone should. Espionage app

It's about time someone did something to let them no were not happy with their lies and beheavyour sorry about the spelling I'm dislackc

Funny that because Facebook is bigger danger to the US then any Chinese apps.

Until Snowden, you were indiscriminately collecting people's data. So it's fine for you to do it but not for China? Your objection has nothing to with security, China is starting to invent things that you can't compete with, and this is how you slow them down

Most Canadians do not care for trump. REMEMBER, he tariffed Canadian Steel because we were a Security Threat. EH That’s Canadian for WTF. Did you know that America is riddled with disease and banned from the world. Darn shame that. Bad for business. Bad. Bad.

manzhou19320301 Great. China has already banned twitter, google, facebook, instagram, etc. This is fair retaliation.

USA is envying Chinese economy and as such they're blindly looking for every opportunity to drag down the Chinese economy.

I’ll be very surprised if US law can allow that. It might be a business decision, not a government decision.

People dont realize that by having these apps it is allowing them to be tracked and traced...🤦‍♀️

Banning Tik Tok was probably Kellyanne Conway's idea so she can keep her daughter from airing their family's dirty laundry and bashing Trump.

Should probably ban Facebook, Twitter, and Google, too.

We need a big beautiful Great Firewall of America to give Maximum Freedom and Eliminate Discord!

sarahcpr is more effective than I thought !

But nothing against Russia for bounties that kill US soldiers

should create some popular apps to defeat Tiktok instead of banning them

Get rid of all Chinese apps. They are spying and spreading fake news like crazy. Chopping Block.

Australia is doing the same with TikTok

Because Facebook did an awesome job of handling user data. Trust China over U.S any day.

Let’s all think about China and Tic Toc instead of dead soldiers in Afghanistan because of Russian bounty plan.

Oh damn they def are trying to lose in November. Did you see what the TikTok kids did to your rally?!?!

Lol, all social media have the same issues, including twitter, facebook, and google.

Yes. Let’s ban all social medias. Google, Facebook and Twitter all track exactly where I am and what I am doing. The US has been spying on every foreign head of state. No surprises. Remember Angela Merkel. The US is the biggest culprit.

What about WeChat, Weibo? Ban them all!

Pompeo is a crook!

Has Trump returned the $250 Million to the CCP?

That’s no freedom oops

People's Republic of America.

sam99061414 Great !!!

hahahaha, funniest joke saw today, western media has been criticizing China for banning google, Facebook, twitter, and always project themselves as democracy and freedom, they've finally made their way to China's 'dictatorship' and 20 years behind China.

👍👍

“National security”, well done, Puppy.

karmel80 Would that be because the chinese cant be expected to unconditionally 'cooperate' by allowing the NSA and others like them free and unlimited access to users data?

Nationalism looking to close down internet... has this happened before?

That's great

Weibo too.

So facebook n other us social media handle data better. What a joke?

Ok, but don't complain when other countries also ban American apps for the same reason.

they be pussed that it's doing better than the US social Media...And they can't get a back door....

BanTikTok we have had enough of this sh-tty spying app. tiktok_us

Adopting the totalitarian method by banning sh1t that pushes their political agenda.

These old men love to suck the joy out of the younger generation. They can't stand anything they can't have control over.

Pretty sure American ISP companies are allowed to sell your user data... why not start there?

Sounds like a paedophile asking for a rapist to jailed for sex crimes.😂😂😂

Because your campaign team got defeated by Gen Z TikTokers after that laughable 6200 attendance in Oklahoma.

Mr Pompeo, you are not baning a chinese company, you are censoring the US from seen something that happens outside of the states.

AHAHAHAAH they forfeiting the election.

Quite AGREE except the Chinese LEARNT this thuggery from the USA. As it is a large number of Chinese are in USA UNIVERSITIES as at NOW. May be the reason for Pompeo's visa Threat for Foreign students currently studying in the USA !

He is so fat.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo exclaims that the U.S. is looking at banning Chinese social media apps, including TikTok. In this regard Lawmakers have raised national security concerns over TikTok's handling of user data.

Privacy issues on raise.

And he doesn't care about Facebook misuse, and other American services?

Isn't this just madness? What are we to say about Facebook, Google, twitter and those American apps. Aren't they taking and selling people's data? It's alright when you do it but if others attempts it, it's bad. Double standard America.

If tiktok gets banned ill be happy

👍👏

Whos going to book all your convention tickets then 😂

Doesn't Microsoft, and Facebook work with NATO and the American Government !

Just don’t Tik Tok. It’s Easy. Don’t sign up.

Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram are cancelled as well...

AndyP2371 😱

Google can be annoying to me with personal data sharing. I won't even let China get me going!

Would be a whole new story if Huawei and tiktok were any nationalty but CHINESE

Cool. Make us like every other banana republic. Had to happen. Next u will sabotage voting. Then we get (God forbid) president for life. Wow, the GOP has destroyed this country.

attack dog of Trump

Well TikTok's parent company hired quite a lot of people in the US, so I guess some programmers will be out of work?

Hi SecPompeo , you let Russia buy potus , why can’t you let the Chinese buy a few kids?

and meanwhile Google Facebook instagram wa_status randizuckerberg BillGates steal our data... blatantly and violate our privacy, blatantly

Security and manner are important.

Pissed off by TikTokers no show

Wow, sarahcpr has really gotten under their skin eh?

Would tiktok be half as bad as Facebook 😂😂😂😂😂

TikTok must NOT be handing over the user data to China so there are concerns, right? More news at 11 pm. TIkTok china Pompeo

飯桶一個!👎👎👎

“Land of the free” 🙄

Why didn’t you ban Equifax when they allowed the breach of 143 Million US citizens’ data?

Still mad about the rally and scared of the future rally? 🤣🤣🤣

Wow this won't work. If it does someone will develop a new tiktok and the young people will continue to fuck with realDonaldTrump 🤣

No need to consider, it should be directly prohibited. Because these Chinese social media applications are all controlled by the CCP.SecPompeo

Pompeo the liar

In the meantime, inside the US:

👍

Wechat, alibaba, ...?

Can someone kick this guy in the dick? The best part of him ran down his mom's leg when his dad gave her his best 30 seconds.

Good. About fcuking time.

I would ban everything Chinese

That’s rich. The party crying over social media censorship, is trying to ban a social media platform.

Most of the Google/Apple store apps are Chinese.

globaltimesnews 結束遊戲

how about cambridge analytica's use of data.. that's ok tho is it?

I just don’t know why, i like mike Pompeo!!!

Absolutely correct. Google, facebook, twitter were all banned in china and there is GFW which blocks chinese to access overseas content. Further, if there are privacy problem, US can bring other apps to court hearings. Tiktok is full of censorship and security flaws

Nobody needs Til Tok

YES OMG WE CAN FINALLY AGREE ON SOMETHING

Noooo, the US isn’t a turning into a fascist dictatorship, where would you get THAT idea!

569edits FORGET YOU. Turning into a dictatorship.

TikTok not chat program supplied by US Intelligence companies give no access to US spies now you banning application, is this US democracy freedom of press and speech.

Mr “no neck nick” seems to be exploding.

Barta57

How did this happen sir? why did your previous govts not devise a rule that only countries who hv people representative electoral democratic system can only join WTO. Unless and until we throw out China from this trade organization worlds problem will not solve.

It's right,USA must banned chinese GOVERMENT'S media and all their APPs.

bruh 😹 i hate these old white men UGH we can’t have shit 💔

Adrianthealien2

Choice 1 for Pompeo: Stop Russian bounties on U.S. soldiers. Choice 2 for Pompeo: Make public statements about banning TikTok that will never happen. And choice 2 is it. Excellent work, Pompeo.

Does Chinese social media apps imply those apps made in China by Chinese nationals or this extends to any apps made by Chinese national from any other part of the World. Instead of USA banning the Apps, imposing geo-blocking orders might be a more realistic approach.

If China is using TikTok to collect data & controlling propaganda, then yes! And there’s nothing as data privacy in China..

I would get more housework done.

So what happened to the hi sactionssssss? Blah blah blah.

can we call that a 'censorship' of freedom speech?

Thank goodness

Why didn't he just declare that US is going to be on its own, as an island, figuratively and economically? BTW keep you war ships to yourself too.

Good luck with that one. Even if Kellyanne has asked especially nicely.

🤣🤣🤣 keep angering TikTok users... They successfully trolled you in Oklahoma and you can't stand it

MIKE, how NAZI/communist will U go?! Become North Korea or Russia, really, because of Sarah Cooper? BAN TikTok?! Hey Stupid, it's called comedy. mikepompeo realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse PressSec MSNBC CNN

No, that's just dumb, to bring politics into media!! 😐😐

We should ban Chinese Government from Planet Earth.

I think Pompey will do better for the. Ountry if he stops lying and disgracing the West Point

In Washington, “certainly looking at” means paying no attention whatsoever. I hope Pompous-a-hole proves me wrong.

they don't have the guts.

WeChat as well

desertfox61I How many story WTC building was?

Internet censorship in America.

May be better to replace with US made apps, ... u can put Chinese apps down later

Lmfao teens on TikTok trolled Trump and hurt his feelings so bad he’s trying to ban the app 😂

I feel like Tulsa incident has something to do with that🤣😂

With the IT development, I don’t think that will work SecPompeo. People have alternatives such as VPN, Sir🤔🤭

Pompeo and Trump so admire The Great Firewall of China. Mexico will pay for ours!

1million ever trumpets are happy !!😷🌊

No signs of improving relationship with China God be with the two Michaels from Canada detained in China and accused of espionage

It won't work she'll still post 😆
