- Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said late on Monday 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.
You really think CHINA cares.about all these threats !!! For all we know Trump already made a deal w them! Trump is a two sided, forked tongue, lying Son of Biscuit Eater! Who really knows what he is up to
Is all this bad mouthing China because there president wouldn't help Trump's re-elected?
Yes is terribloe for kids, all about sex and ridiculous things for kids to watch.
This is turning into a China phobia situation!
deejay90192 Ban Pompeo instead, as a clear and present danger to United States national security and to basic human decency. This guy’s career needs to effectively end in January!
He may want to use Tiktok to ask kids about skin care. Look at this... Jeeeezzus
Chill
Blame everything and everybody else but his boss and himself.
Deflection will help election. That's it. That's the tweet.
Do you think he will ban trump's brands and Ivanka's Trademarks.🤔
Till November you can ban everything.
US becoming China. China becoming US. Exactly what China wants, thank you Pompeo.
So it's only free market economy and capitalism when we 'are winning'. This is some coward ass move. Cheeto man loves saying 'it's not fair'. News flash LIFE isn't Fair. BIDEN 2020
You know the US Government is fucked up when they ban TikTok over the KKK
This has nothing to do with the Chinese government's new law for tech companies and everything to with TokTok users making trump look like the fool he is.
But why? Whats the reasoning behind that?
Is that because many young people bought tickets to the failed rally?
🖕🏽
In this way, soon, all the world will banned you and than you'll become No. 1! How they think when talk like that? There are millions of American citizens native Chinese, you cut the access of their heritage? And what about all the other Americans? Even his boss is German native!
ya right. How are you any different than China then?
Because they hate content like this
Trump trying to be a communist because of a bruised ego.
Obrigado pela Informação, !!! 🧐🌹🇯🇵
Oh, this is rich. Is this ‘cause the kids on TikTok utterly bamboozled and embarrassed Trump at his Tulsa super-spreader event? sourgrapes BIDEN2020
Please do as TikTok , numerous Chinese apps are obviously under the control of CCPChina stealing people’s information! tiktokbanned ChineseAppsBlocked BoycottChineseProduct BoycottChina
Pompeo needs to ban carbs and red meat for about a year.
What a great news! BanTikTok
Treating rogue must with the eyes to eyes, morality never wins in battle with bad guy. Action will work out.
Go ahead and ban TikTok, the kiddos will just find another platform and outmaneuver Trump again. 😂
wonder if it has anything to do with the tickets for his klan rallies.
Do it
$NovaBorg42 if anyones feeling generous
Good job USA ,,
slow news day ? 🥱😴
Globalization is great when it’s boosting you and not so much when others benefit🤧 Not even hiding the unfairness🤷🏿♂️ Competitiveness out the Window. You holding on to shirts and tripping others who are passing you😕
They just go after anything that is not pro Trump and they hate that Conway daughter is expressing her political thoughts on Trump via Tik Tok
Coz banning Tik Tok will cure coronavirus and make China really upset. Take that, China! How embarrassing. How about banning the bloviating buffoon who blew off the deadly pandemic as hoax and flu to the tune of 132,000 dead Americans and counting? TrumpGenocide SecPompeo
China much? F off!
A slippery slope? Watch out social media, either Publish Trump’s lies or goodbye.
Yeah, White House is looking at, they have been looking at for months. Are they begging XI for another fake trade deal? White House is insulting “trade deal”!
Yeah, good luck with that, somebody tell this jackass this is USA 🇺🇸 and still a free country VoteBlue
no thanks 🙄
Oh wow the Chinese will see our puppy videos and recipes!
This isn't China! Banned on what ground? I DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE I,M RACIST AGAINST CHINESE. I think we have a point, that everyone who worked for Trump need to have their DNA eliminated from the gene pool. guillotine
Priorities 😑😑😑
trump's just seeking revenge on children for the Tulsa debacle.
Anything that makes Donald Trump look stupid gets outlawed 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now isn't that convenient.
Then ban all social media platforms.. FaceBook, Instagram,Twitter (irony). Social Media boomed fast, to fast.
What a joke ?
how will AOC and the squad get votes now without tik tok
Great, apps from censorship and dictatorship country should be banned.
Blame the other side which you are guilty of - Joseph Goebbels
First amendment. “You just got to live with it.”
USA will block them? No they won’t, they just need money
👍👍👍
deejay90192 Why did Mefia Go quiet on Pompeo Misusing Taxes Payers Fund,That's a Wash,

Ban
Smart!
This is not really going change economic sanctions not only Chinese government but companies that fail to repatriate their activities
Good.
Great move. Please do that immediately. There are videos on TikTok which no one can watch.
Trumps trade war is a failure! I’m sure Biden will straighten our America out and make her great again
Do it!
Those Chinese media apps serve as spying tool to Chinese students, Chinese green card holders, etc. Goodbye and good riddance China people. America will be a lot better place without pork fried rice.
tik tok ain't my thing anyways
Hey fatso is not going to happen soon are you going out starting looking for another job.
Aww, did the big orange baby get his feelings hurt because of his Tulsa rally? mikepompeo is a sad lapdog.
When you see a Pompeo there's always a China in a few lines.
Is this because realDonaldTrump rally was a bust?
Fat Mike
老🐷，你下场是被群众在肚皮上插灯芯
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 can't do anything to the Chinese government... OK let's ban a social media app. LOSERS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaha... good luck mikepompeo
ban it now!
Where's democracy in this?
Ban Mike Pompeo....
Go figure, he doesn't lift a finger when Cambridge Analytica steals data for tRump, but when Tik-Tok does it he wants to ban it.
Good job 👍 Ban all chinese companies
Pompeo, when you can’t own or compete solution is ban 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Please do it fast.
Isn’t this what a fascist government does Do TrumpSupporters care? GOP you can’t hide from what you’ve done to America GOP GOPChairwoman SenateGOP HouseGOP GOPLeader senatemajldr
Don't say but do
Too late.
They can't do that.
Come on America Salute Your dictator!
They really got upset with thousands of teens pranking DJT
Just ban Trump et al. It would be way more effective!
Of course they are.
TikTok, cause some kids played a prank on BENEDICT DONALD prior to his jonestown cult meeting in tulsa...BENEDICT DONALD loves him some twitter and facebook though..wonder why?
Censorship
Pompeo will next declare a State of Pandemonium and ban white supremacist TuckerCarlson from broadcasting pandas’ sex orgies! 🍊🍄🦠💉💰
Usa partners UAE financial terrorist and killing millions. By yr control
Ban Chinese social media apps. lol.. somewhat like China does to its citizens? A security issue with them having social media info?! Lol.. everyone is on social media!! The info that's already out there?! Lol.. i think there may be someone a little pissed at GenZ TikTok?
How about we start by banning Russian bot ads on social media... except of course their lies and misinformation benefit your administration....
Nice move, even in china Facebook n Google are banned
Parler is OK though.
ChristLIGHT5 Not sure that can happen.
why
Reciprocity.
TikTok is Chinese government spyware. The CCP shouldn’t have such a deep look and reach in our privacy and social life
Please do it Sir.
We are living in a damn communist country with Trump
PUNISHMENT for kids prank on Trumps Tulsa rally
Good. Make sure reddit and other Chinese funded firms are also included in any ban.
Smells like freedom! Sweet, unironic, totally self-aware freedom!
😂😂😂
renu_sud Walk the talk sir !
Ridiculous.
Tik tok is an adolescent practice that does not benefit society.
I wish it was forbidden in our country too
A great case of closing the door after the fox is out.
Perhaps that might be because to talk was partly responsible for trump's fiasco of a rally?
Someone is still 🤬off about the Tulsa fiasco! 😂
Free market I suppose?
There is an alternative. Create another version of Tik Tok. If the masses like it better, then it wins the day. Trump only now wants to ban it because those teens hurt his feels by not showing up to the rally.
Its about time. If Facebook and Google are not allow in China. Chinese app should not be allow in US.
Meanwhile Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter and god know who else are harvesting data from all over the world and that’s okay I guess hypocrite
What Drama you try to do, The whole world already know. No need to ban some Chinese APP Is easy BAN Reminbi to except in USA. That more good to hear.. Really Racists Country n mindset. This develop country have turn to communist behavior nowadays. Sad.Sad
Ban them all. ASAP
Pompeu is a grand dweeb in a government of grand doosh bags.
Some of us don’t use it because we know what it’s doing to our own data. I am about to review twitter and Facebook too. They need to explain in layman terms to the US population and let them be responsible for their own decisions.
你好先生
Good job
Ban them all...anything un American and one sided
It's childish.
I wouldn't mind seeing a total ban on everyone and everything Chinese
Pompeo should ban himself from the Chinese buffet. Tiktokban
Just do it, and tell the whole world the 'true' meaning of 'freedom of speech'.
Land of the free?
Just how many country’s does America threaten in one way or another,Haven’t they got enough problems at home,

Don’t dig so deep. It’s the tik too teens that he and his master fear.
Democracy? Free speech? First amendment?

TikTok is just a TRASH APP in both America And China
When is it time for the world to BAN US disruptive activities
这货11月下岗，没几个月了。嘴还可以张得再大一点。
crystal78243104 Communist China ban all international social media apps while we allow Chinese social media afloat all over the world! This is an unfair treaty!
Finally, they have had four major security breeches already. India already did
Please do
支持
This guy is a wast of space SAD
OwnYourDataNow 😂😂
F&$K SecPompeo . Hopefully the Rapture comes soon.
what about domestic security? should look in to it
should be included wechat weibo..
Cancel culture?
Thought the Republican party was about personnel choice and the state not dictating.
sanjeevmiglani Yup, no freedom of speech issues there.
Yep, closer to a dictatorship every day.
We are going to be the witnesses all over the world that every single country would just use itself social media apps. This is just a starting for my notion, world is going to steps to create the separate amongst nation to nation about everything that taking place.
I don’t download any Chinese apps on my made in China iPhone.... ever
They dont allow so many social app/ put condition on products, so should have done it much before. Already allowed to gain on products and apps. limited time left to contain SecPompeo
Just do it.
Lets go no more cringe
POTUS realDonaldTrump mikepompeo Go ahead and ban wechat. That is where the real infiltration is happening.
SecPompeo streets of US are occupied by (CCP & Russians & Mullahs )'s thugs! They're not people. Their aim is to ruin USA like Carter and Elizabeth and russia and israeil did to Iran in 1979. If USA fall the devils far worse than you take control and tore humanity apart
SIGNIFICANT move. WISE and much expected worldwide. SecPompeo realDonaldTrump ScottMorrisonMP BorisJohnson AbeShinzo BBCWorld G7 ForeignPolicy EmmanuelMacron
DeleteTikTok already!
JessiePang0125 All Chinese companies are serving Chinese government
Well, good luck with that...
Jajaja ahora quienes son los dictadores de las libertades, que tienen que ver lo que ellos quieran jajaja
Wow. What happened to the freedom of press and the freedom of information and the freedom of speech.. What happened to the first amendments. We all should Vote Dictator Donald J Trump out of office 😠😡😠 and kick him Peacefully out of the WH.
Finally US recognized India as its master and soon US will become a democracy as good as India
HAHA, that is democracy
😂
Looking, looking... nope not something we can do with an executive order, but we tried sir. Blame Nancy.
So when China is winning fair and square in the software field, they hurried to stop it, just like Huawei which was winning the hardware and networking competition... Free trade was a joke..
要是真这么做，那就是彻底戳穿美帝自由言论的假面具
Not only should they ban tik tok ... users of tik tok should loose their voting privileges
Close the door and build Walls. Americans are gonna be safe and free to roam inside!
Do it again tik tok! It’s working!!
WeChat、weibo
Is it about the Trump rally? Hurt his feelings 🙄🙄🙄
Copying India
Hmmm. Get rid off Facebook's biggest future competitor in TikTok.
In other news, VPN providers are about to get richer
Twitter Facebook Google have been banned by china more than 10 years.
So after robbing the American public and pissing away our tax money to million dollar companies that don't need it, this fat ass wants to kill any fun we have.
'China prohibits freedom of choice and free access to social media. To prove that the United States is very different, we are going to do exactly the same.' It's not about freedom, it's retaliation to don't have more 1.3 bi of consumers.
Hmmm.... is because Claudia Conway is killing it on TikTok?
Finally rip off the coat of democracy and freedom, reveal the true nature of protectionism.
GOPBetrayedAmerica
why does he always look like he is in mid-fart? Oh yeh, I know...he's an asshole
Even better just revoke the one china policy and life will be easier for all!
SecPompeo is it because the baby still can't recover from the TIK TOK amazing rally Gee what are you going to do to the Russians? Shouldn't that be the focus? NOT with you, and the entire joke of Russian compromised administration. Distraction war ahead
You knew banning Tik Tok was coming ever since Oklahoma.
good
Trump’s going after Sarah Cooper!
Finally! Tik tok needs to die.
because someone offers different views to know the east of world(CHINA) and some bad things about us government.also,that's a social media are not controlled by US government, they can't delete some bad things is harmful for US government ,like China can't delete it in Twitter .
三哥蜜汁自信我能理解，毕竟是传统技艺，米国搞就有点尴尬，这是要举白旗吗？

sarahcpr you must really be getting under his skin! 😂🤣 keep it up.
Why don’t these bastards in the White House do something useful such as control the virus, eliminates racism, apply pressure on rogue states such as Israel & Saudi Arabia, promote world peace and improve world economy. These are the things the public want them to do when elected.
Now do Twitter
what comes next?...facebook and twitter?...😳😄
Yes! 100% support this! I hate that app. It’s disturbing!
Lmao trump is pissed at the Tulsa prank.
In retribution for the way Tik Tok users foiled Trump's KKK rally in Tulsa.
Who would say USA would become a dictatorship based on craziness and lies! 😀😄
Of course he is...wouldn't want those meddling kids to ruin another one of the dear leader's rallies. He's so pathetic. What an embarrassment.
