Since filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration, Patrick Ryan has become the public face of TikTok employees fed up with Trump's efforts to ban the app because a Chinese company owns it. 'Sometimes it's anxiety. ... Sometimes it's rage,' he says.

on behalf of the company seeking to block the Aug. 6 directive, which is the first of two executives orders Trump signed targeting TikTok.

It could, according to Ryan. He points out that many TikTok employees are in the U.S. on work visas, which Trump's executive order may imperil. As of now, though, such requests remain theoretical, since Trump officials have not offered any proof that such data has ever been sought by Beijing. Washington, according to Ryan, is unfairly singling out TikTok because its top executives are in China. He notes big American tech companies like Google, Apple and Microsoft make products that are banned in China, yet the companies have a significant presence in the country.

Oh get fucked

Let’s conveniently avoid the fact, that the TikToc app has been proven to be illegally collecting data on the users and transmitting it back to Beijing. So your working for a company that is illegally spying on people and your upset we found out. Time to get a new job.

You should you support a Chinese communist site

Well we the people are tired of untrustworthy people deceiving us and allowing the vile communist party of China to mine our days like oil.

He wants to ban it because it’s spying. Oh, remember, you can’t call it Chinese!

defundNPR

Do you know why it’s banned. It was banned by DOD way before trump. Do your job NPR

Imagine suing the government because they are trying to stop a Chinese company that can be forced by its own government to use its platform to spy. What a dumbass.

Seems to me the President as the authority to do so.

Typical pro China garbage

These are the same people who beg every day for more government domination and control yet they think they can escape it somehow.

Why is NPR funded by taxpayers? China should fund it for obvious reasons.

Sometimes, he just can't drink enough SOY!

Normal people fell all of that about NPR

It’s crazy how we are violating this company’s rights

Yeah how dare Trump! If people want the Chinese government to have every detail of their cell phones, contacts, photos and 'stuff' then they should be allowed!

NPR has become useless News

POTUS banning TikTok doesn't have anything to do with China owning it...as much as it has to do with China spying on Tik Tok users....unless that doesn't bother you. They built a back door to access all computers made in China..

It’s sad to see NPR joins China to destroy Trump. Well, guess I just saved some donation money for lunch.

I’ll just go ahead and add to my list of cancelled activities. Along with NBA and MLB. This is great, now I have more time to do things with people that aren’t trying to burn down this country... 😘

How the hell are we funding a leftist propaganda outlet like NPR? This is absurd. DefundNPR

Npr sinking to an all new low

I read the article in the WSJ about this effort and it’s based on nothing but xenophobia and misguided fear. Trump is a racist. His words & actions reflect ignorance and hate. “China Virus”. Every time you hear that it’s like the N word. Racist.

NPR : please tell your listeners npr reported a year ago that tic toc was actively trolling youth, that Parents need to know dangers .

Aren't we under attack from China? Let President Trump be President.

Stop defending a communist country

Because a company that has a history of giving user data to the Chinese government owns it. My entire family's social security info, banking records, addresses etc were stolen by the CCP when they hacked into OPMs database a few years ago. China is not our friend.

I’m a left leaning independent who is 100% voting for JoeBiden and I fully support TikTok_us being expatriated... any American who researched the company would also

NPR, can you remind us how much TikTok donated to your organization? Can you remind us how much NPR makes out of Sesame Street merchandise? DefundNPR

Trump can’t control TikTok. That’s the real reason. He was humiliated by the use of it against him for the rally tickets. 😭

this guy needs to do his homework. wow!

Is it ok to loot his house?

It's a risk to America. The President has the obligation to protect the country, not subject to authority of a employee of the company about to be dissolved.

Alternatively, nobody gives a fuck about tiktok.

Literal communist propaganda here & it disgusts me to see choose this path. Trump isn’t banning TikTok simply bc it’s owned by a Chinese company. He wants it banned bc said Chinese company is comitting espionage against the USA on behalf of the CCP

Sorry, I want it contained also. We do have to be careful with Chinese tech products.

We don’t care. Ask the Uighurs how they feel? fuckchina CCPVirus ChinaVirus

Hello after what China XiJingping did to weaken the American People and our economy! With the China virus You don’t understand why the ridiculous app must go! Who are you!?

India did it before the US

oh, wahhhh!

Or maybe it's their blatant and ridiculous data mining. Even when they say they fixed it, the iPhone revealed them stealing user data off the clipboard constantly.

The guy is clueless to the China threat.

BanTikTok BanWeChat BanTencent BanAlibaba BanHuawei BanWeibo BanBaidu

When Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tells you to give them all information, facts & figures...what do you do? Comply. Fast. Without asking Q's. WHY? Tiananmen Square Massacre. No if's, and's or butt's!

You morons leave out the important reason why he’s attempting to ban it

If liberals had the ability to collect their diverse anxieties into a singular focus, maybe every issue would be fixed in a matter of days. As for Trump, if your ancestors weren't here before WW1, you're a tourist.

US has history of stifling, killing off, blocking competition in every industry while lecturing others on Free markets....

I just don’t get why Trump hates Tik— Oh.

So brave.

I'm guessing Nancy is experiencing anxiety.

No one cares

I DO NOT want to witness his rage

Facebook had something to do with the ban idea

idc bro. You're working for a company that's controlled by a country commiting genocide rn

Tiktok also gives NPR money. So where is the integrity in 'journalism '?
