“Whether it was the problems of having Huawei technology in your infrastructure we’ve gone all over the world and we’re making real progress getting that out. We declared ZTE a danger to American national security,” Pompeo added, citing the two Chinese telecommunications networking companies.
“With respect to Chinese apps on peoples’ cellphones, the United States will get this one right too.”Washington has been on a campaign against Chinese technology firms. Huawei in particular has been in the crosshairs. The U.S. maintains that Huawei equipment could be used for espionage by Beijing, and that user data could be compromised. Huawei has repeatedly denied those allegations.
But TikTok, owned by Beijing-based ByteDance, has also been on the radar since last year. Washington has been concerned that theTikTok has tried to distance itself from its Chinese parent company. In fact, TikTok was meant to be for the international market while ByteDance runs a separate app in China called Douyin.priority was seen as rebuilding trust with regulatorsBut the Trump administration still appears skeptical of TikTok.
for infiltrating trump campaign:vendetta?From FreeSociety to Fascism..
Tik tok is stupid, like the people who use it.
They already got rid of Vine now they want to get rid of TikTok because the fat ass baby in the White House. Grow some balls and go to hell
Go ahead and hate on me IM ALSO A FURRY!!!
Really? I guess the first amendment doesn't interest the Trump administration.
Time for Vine 2.0 to make its comeback
mifzalamzar Baek la us
Such cowardice! Can't take being outwitted by teenagers!
It’s fun listening to all the useless liberals cry about not being able to have Chinese spying technology or their phones
Stop looking and just do it allready.
The main reason why China's being the source of all of these diseases and other issues is they have communist government. They just can't literally tell the whole world about what's going on in their country without first being supervised by their government in control of the 👥
Isn’t that censorship? I thought they were all for free speech and such?
One word: Censorship
I’m sure this has NOTHING to do with the TikTok crowd bogarting the tickets to his stupid Tulsa rally. Nothing at all. TikTok TrumpIsANationalDisgrace
Good
VoteHimAWAY
Dictator much?
U.S is 'looking at' banning TikTok and other Chinese social media apps, Sec.Pompeo says .
Does he also want to ban K-pop music?
Great 🇺🇸
Sarah Cooper must be getting to him.
Spy apps anyways so do it
Ban everything from China BubonicPlagueChina ✝
Pompous Pretentious Pompeo
Spyware like that should be banned.
That would be amazing.
Several countries have banned them already
Vengeful chump getting revenge for Tulsa rally fail. That one must have hurt deeply.
Block them.......
Astounding TikTok about to be banned in Hong Kong by Chinese Government because it undemines their authority with comedy, but USA think they're using it to spy on them. How dim are these people. Youth are taking the piss out of all rulers, because the rulers have zero sense.
I think it depends on how you use it , but it is sad about the users some of them killing theirselves though
No Chinese company is separate from the Chinese communist party. Think about that.
Yeah yeah yeah
That will help Trump with the young vote.
Better late than never. Good riddance.
Yep there spying with tik tok
Wow, our conversion to communism is progressing nicely.
That's the sort of thing Putin would do. Putinpuppet
Tulsa & Sarah, perhaps?
HOMENAJE A TODAS LAS MUJERES DIVINAS DEL MUNDO QUE TRABAJAN EN UN HOSPITAL
That’ll help trump in November 😂😂
Poor trumpie. He got his feelings hurt.
Maybe just a 15-day to slow the curve ban, to regroup and make sure all checks and balances type systems are working, lets start there.
This could work 🤔🤔
there goes the internet
Only the US government should be allowed to spy on its citizens *cough* patriot act *cough*
They want to ban Tik Tok because they embarrassed him in Tulsa.
The USA awared how important the social platform is, not allowed to be controlled by other country even tiktok had separated oversea department from China... How about those countries using tw and fb? Don't u feel scary the USA gov will control your public opinion one day?
'Looking at' is quite a generic phrase
Not gonna lie. I'll support this so the kids at work will shut up about it and stop dancing randomly.
😂😂😂😂😂
Finally! Stop Chinese interference!
Here’s the Fun Police! Reason 347943379993389932684838 to vote for JoeBiden, kids: he won’t kick you off tiktok_us
.AOC hardest hit...
Glad we’ve solved all our problems first
BestGirlINaN League ban incoming PogChamp
They'll literally just make a new ap. This is pointless.
This government is over stepping and needs torn down.
That's one way to get millions of teens and young adults out to vote
do not block the application!quite good! a Big Politics! Clearly seems! Protocols&ISP manages the security & ByteDance can manage the security issue in hours! TikTok gets operated from India also! Ke$ha singers sons only runs ByteDance!
Why cause they trolled the president Tulsa rally and only 6000 people were there- how petty
Please ban Tik Tok!!! It destroys young minds!!!!
Good. Ban it.
When will they ban the chinese chips in the devices? You can hide some good stuff there.
Who are they calling Marxist socialists
The orange demon don't like empty Maga rallys like in Tulsa
India JUST DID it. No talks. Only action.
Should ban everything China
You believe what Chinese companies say？By the way. All Chinese companies must set up branches of the Communist Party of China
China is in your nerves US.
why because they know who trump really is
what! why? so Mark Zuckerberg can develop an app or buy it and have a monopoly and have everyones infomation seems suss to me
Correct, because the US is following in China's footsteps... tyranny knocks at our door. Do not open the door.
This is how bullies work.. if they aren't winning they ban whats killing them and make everyone suffer for their insecurities... what shameful behavior, SIES!!!
Does China own NBC?
China app used to Spy - India has banned it as well.
India did it Australia is too. China is stealing countries data. SHUT IT DOWN NOW
Good luck with that
I remember Trump also said considering shut down twitter last month after he was tagged.
Well, it turns out Big Brother is China. 👮♂️🗽🇺🇸
Clearly they’re worried that China will be pushing Biden over Trump!
Ban all chineze apps asap!!!!
Really? Because they fucked up Trumps rally?
Remind me, how many US social media apps are already banned in China ?
Trump is a sore loser. After humiliated by the TikTok youth, now they are trying to get revenge on the app, using its origin as an excuse. You know, China is putting millions in concentration camps, and terrorizing millions in Hong Kong, yet Pompeo does nothing on either.
still looking take the god damn action
Now why we would we want to ban apps that relay all personal information and contacts to foreign governments? 🤔
Need to ban China funding our media. That’s definitely more pressing.
Reminds me on Adolf Hitler and stalin
So much for free speech huh
About time, shouldve happened sooner, but this administration 🙄
America don’t lose your hegemony!
DO IT
Now this goes against the first amendment. For all of the people who constantly claim FB banning racist is infringing on their 1st amendment that's not true, but this right here is.
Pompeo can kiss my big fat white ass... I don't even use TikTok, but you can bet that I would keep on using it and find ways around any kind of blocking they put on it. If there's a will... there's a way. Fk you Pompeo... now I think I'm gonna go download TikTok.
Oops !! I guess the Prez is pissed off with Tik Tok after getting punked in Tulsa. Well, “I don’t see why he should be” upset. It is better to get pissed off than pissed on!! You have gone underground, during a GLOBAL pandemic, at a time when America needed leadership most!!
For China to TRULY change and bring itself into Western Culture it needs to shred itself of Communism. If ALL Countries BoycottChina like America are starting to do, you’ll see a revolution soon. That ideology has no place in 2020.
😂😂😂😂😂
All bc the President and all of his men were dooped by some teenagers in Tulsa. 😂
Nooooooo!!
It's about time. We don't need anymore ruined children in the US.
They hate it because everyone posts anti Trump videos. Fascist censorship by Trump. Not to mention what TikTok users did to his failed rally.
sarahcpr - 1; realDonaldTrump - 0.
Well - fair game - they dont allow any western apps
How are they going to do anything with people's phones when they can't even get them to wear masks?
Pompeo's entire online world is going to get destroyed if he takes away tiktok
Ooooo. TikTok was key in punking Trump with his million ticket buyers!
Do it. You wanna see the youth of America raise up against the government like never before? Just try it. Haha.
No banning! Just bring all fake claims and news to court and fine them under OUR jurisdiction - IF they refuse - THEN ban them!
Did Donny throw a tantrum because of how he was made to look like the moron he truly is in Tulsa?
Wait till TikTok influencers see this
sarahcpr has struck a nerve with The Orange Menace. Bigly.
Sarah Cooper sarahcpr really must be getting under Trump’s skin.
dougducey has failed AZ! Reopened too soon. Not near enough tests avail to average people. Infection rates soaring. DES is shambles, ppl not being paid. Needed svcs not avail. He is a Trump lackey & should RESIGN office. Failure!
Tio_Horchata 😆
Just like a dictator
his excuse gonna be chinese could get into our national security shit but the real thing is tiktok pranked him
Pompeo is a pom-piece of shit.
this wouldn’t happen to have anything to do with that little stunt pulled in Oklahoma, does it? 🤔🤔🤔
Does Trump has diarrhea for any reason?
Trump got his feelings hurt...is that why?
Tick tock, time is running out........
Hahaha because they can’t control what’s said on it?
Just get a VPN.
Finally
