"When we talk about sanctions against Russian oligarchs and kleptocrats, well, the sanctions are that no American can do business with them," Stewart Baker, the former general counsel at the National Security Agency,Now, that same sanction has been used against TikTok. In the order, the White House says TikTok captures vast swaths of information from its users, including location data and Internet search history, data the administration fears could be shared with authorities in Beijing.
TikTok has downplayed its ties to Beijing, saying data it captures on U.S. users is stored mostly in Virginia. Officials at TikTok also insist the company has never turned over any data to Chinese authorities, despite the county's broad powers to request such data from private companies.an independent security review of TikTok revealed that the app is harvesting data, including the facial profiles of American users, and sending it to Chinese servers.has confirmedFor Microsoft, a $1.
Did the exposure of the fraud scheme regarding GTV not throw a new light on the ban?
Jerk
This goes beyond Tiktok for Bytedance. Please investigate the effect on the American ESL teachers that are contracted with Bytedance for GoGoKid.
Now there's a priority! Wtf!
Because he hates Sarah Cooper?

He’s shouting to the entire world that he got outsmarted in Tulsa.
As usual there is more to this then meets the eye! He is up to some behind the scenes financial deal to set he and his fellow bandits with after his jail time! Where the hell is Congress? Am I really in the US or Russia? Time to take flight !
He’s just Pissed because some kids effed up his Tulsa rally. He doesn’t give a shit about American security.
India did the same thing except they banned all of China apps and they are happy no ones complaining tik Tok is made by Chinese and has been used to spy on us and steal our info not just us either
I am waiting to see how China responds.
...and suddenly, for five glorious minutes, the left defended free market capitalism.
Is this even within a presidents power? I don’t think he can legally
Without tic toc his rally numbers will go wayyy down
This is going to hurt the stock market as several companies are partially owned by Tencent (one of the 'banned' Chinese companies).
So he's done more to ban an app than he has to combat a pandemic that is spreading like wildfire across the country. Makes sense.
Doesn’t Facebook, Google, Twitter collect the same info 🤷♀️ just asking
if trump is concerned about security and privacy issues, he should maybe instead do an executive order stopping american companies from collecting and using sensitive data on consumers as well as establishing and enforcing our privacy rights
He hates businesses that make money and actually work. He doesn’t have one of those does he.. Sounds a little jealous
How is a bunch of high school kids doing little dances, of any interest to national security? Asking for all the other countries .. 🤔
Lol it has nothing to do with China or security and everything to do with him being a pouty little baby about a bunch of kids on til tok saying they'll show up to his rally and then not.
Because nothing else more important is on Trump's radar.
Ok, so who's going to be the web tech thats going to come out with a US version of TikTok?
Quick to react to Tik Tok, but still no response from Trump about Russian bounties on US Troops. Priorities much?!
The “party of small government” in effect
I am finally uninstalling and closing my Instagram and Facebook account now. Thanks to this EO!
Okay GOP. Do you want anyone randomly choosing your business choices? Hypocritical.
And the company that runs the epic game store
Interesting that he is choosing to limit the speech of american teens on tiktok because they arent supportive of him. Seems kinda politically motivated and possibly an infringement on their 1a rights
Fxxk you Trump
ban abortion without asking woman, ban tic tok WeChat without asking users, MAGA！
One things for sure: security concerns or not, a pandering career politician would never take such a risk. Our current POTUS is putting the well-being of our people ahead of his own political interests. Pretty refreshing if you ask me. Trump
😂😂😂😂😂 I thought the Dems were the snowflakes... 🤔 tiktok ticktock trumpstimeisup
TikTok is helping the Chinese givernment kill 2 million muslims in China.
What information are they stealing, people’s shitty dance moves
Ya so Ivanka is giving up all those licenses in China?
The new legislative process is EO. No longer does Congress pass laws that allow input, debate or amendment to their content. Votes are scheduled with little time to read or understand before the vote is taken. It's a party line only with no recourse for the citizenry.
To My American friends: President Trump signs executive order to ban WeChat in 45 days,your money on wechat were not allowed to use,it's safe to give the money to me for keeping as quickly as possible..
A truly strong president who is totally and unequivocally still your favorite thing.
And there we go...Trump and his administration is preparing USA into totalitarianism, dictatorship and communism.
Distract, blame, deny, repeat. I think we all know the hokey pokey by now?
Here's the gist. realDonaldTrump has ties with Facebook . Lots of money involved. He is helping Facebook by pushing the competition (ticktock) out of business unless they sell to an American company in 45 days because Facebook/Instagram is losing money to tick tock.
TrumpDiversion TrumpTheDisaster RussianBounty
He will ban all internet if he thinks it will serve his purpose.
Why in 45 days? Why not now😀😁
So crooked.
Good !!
Feels extremely mad about this stupid person😡 Banning WeChat will make Chinese immigrants hard to contact with their families and friends!!!
POTUS MorganStanley I'm looking for Jeff Gelfand
Hello Chinese-style censorship? The US is on the phone & needs some pointers to control their dissidents before an election. TrumpThreatensAmerica VoteBidenToSaveAmerica
Maybe a stupid question here but why is Tiktok (coming from China) a bigger threat to national security than the voting machines Ivanka got trademarked there?
I have to wonder, in light of Kodak, if there is intent to make Trump & his gang personal stock market gains...
Ok youth of today, do what you do
Why 45 days?
My American friends, now you start learning how to use VPN not for security, just to pretend your are not in US. Need a few tips? Ask Iranians. They have 20+ years of experience to bypass all sorts of filters and bans to stay connected to Twitter, FB, YouTube, Gmail... wechatban
honestly ,now us people may need to use VPN to use Tiktok, what a joke , what a freedom!
moreMAGAdumbfuckery
I hope this is challenged in court. It is clear the reason is to infringe on freedom of speech because he doesn’t like what people are saying on those apps.
If Trump used the time he put in TikTok ban and his golf, we may already win the Covid🙃
Good. Red China needs to be shut down on their spying
Good thing nobody can just make an American version of TikTok to make fun of realDonaldTrump with. Good thing they couldn’t call it DickdDon.
Why was Ivanka Trump trademarking voting machines in 2018 while working in the White House How many were purchased how many were sold and where are they
The apps of American companies have always collected sensitive information from users around the world, and used a large number of robots to spread information that slandered the world.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🍑💨
For a while there, it looked like he was distracted by COVID and the economy.
All about the free market until it hurts your feelings, huh?
The same day that instagram released reels. Who would have know?
He's such a big baby.
Good! Go Trump!!
Let me just remind everyone that this is what comes next.
Can a man who refuses to have security on his flip phone really tell us what to do?
Hopefully China will block us companies forcing them to come back to the US.
India did that in June itself. Tiktok is chinese app and our privacy and security is compromised. Tiktok shares our data with criminal CCP and communist thugs.
Technology wise he has no authority over banning any App country wide. With his pull at the FCC (Ajit) he may get the FCC to swing government control of ISPs. That is the end play here, just watch. Do we want a country wide firewall like China? that's what at stake here.
Heard reports that ByteDance owners are considering divesting TikTok USA. This would be the STUPIDEST move in tech history. A better course for Chinese owners of ByteDance is to WAIT IT OUT TILL NOVEMBER... when the madman Trump and his dumb administration will be ousted.
Hell no! All because we made fun of him?
He might have bitten off more than he can handle. The TikTokTeenTerrorists will run circles around him. He has not clue. Go kids Go...
BASED
So what can we do? Businesses the president doesn’t like shouldn’t be banned by him.
So the fate of business are all under the control of a single person now?
How much is Microsoft paying Trump for the easy sweep deal on TikTok? Too bad Facebook is getting too much heat for being a monopoly or they would have bought it.
He will only act if he thinks it's in his best interest donnydespot
Where’s all the outcry from conservatives about “free speech “ ?
Fact check: Scares to ban merchandise then forces to buy cheap price! 'And we should get a very large percentage of that price, because we’re making it possible' the matchmaker said It's the art of bargaining if you need to takeover any good business just follow lobby this way.
This is a free country BUT.... Don't buy .... Really?
You know you fucked up when you made NPR, possibly one of the fairest and most level-headed american news agencies, mad enough to post unflattering pictures of you and openly scorn your behavior. Like... it's part of their job not to get mad or take sides...
and the youth of the World reply...
Like that’ll stop the people from plotting to make him look like a fool. My money’s on the teenagers! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's a powerful influencing tool that US federal and state agencies can't join... so selling it makes sense for the propaganda arm Trump enjoys so much from Twitter and Facebook... and can be wielded just in time for the election.
Is this like Flappy Birds? Where they take it off but if you already have the app they can’t take it off your phone so you play it anyway?
Lol. Does he think China will listen to him.
Why don’t you SIGN an EXECUTIVE ORDER to increase covid TESTING?!?!?! DO SOMETHING to help taxpayers or you will go down in infamy!!!!!!
My tiktok prediction. It is NOT going anywhere. If it were, it would have already been banned. Plus, TT very patriot friendly and we cannot let Facebook get even bigger with Instagram Reels.
Donald Trump has forgiven Franklin Graham and issued him a pardon for possible transgressions aboard a yacht. Trump is reported to have told Graham 'I know how you feel but you can still run for president if Junior does not run.' (From Red Foxy Fake News)
All to get people to Paler?
He is just trying to distract ppl from how bad the covid is
The economy under Trump’s communist central planning is a disaster.
Hope the GOP doesn’t hear about this. Seems like the type of government over reach that gets ‘em hot under the collar.
BULL SHIT TRUMP. HOW ABOUT YOUR DEALINGS WITH PUTIN.
TikTok must not be one of those sweatshops where red baseball caps are made.
L.O.O.N.E.Y. T.U.N.E.S. 🤡 TrumpHoaxedAmerica TrumpIsALaughingStock
He has done more to try and get rid of TikTok than Covid19
