Good we need no dealings with those who came into our Country causing hundreds of thousands of deaths

Please do. Spyware targeted at minors shouldn't exist.

So funny that when the Socialists do this exact move it's oppression, but when the capitalists do it it's just a ban 🤣

Good! The Chinese government uses it as spyware! Wake up, Americans!

What are you afraid of?

They can ban whatever they want, but anyone with a VPN connection can just ignore the ban. Pretty sure about that. Especially on the PC.

Yes!!! There’s nothing good!!! Just sex for kids to watch

There about to piss everyone under 40 not smart that will come back to haunt them.

CarolynEvertso1 Trump couldn't get a trade agreement to this is his payback. Wonder what China will do since they own 25% of our debt😉

CarolynEvertso1 Do it. Fudge boy mikepompeo. Ban tik tok. The wrath that rains down on you and the corrupt GOP will be delightful.

drdanchoi Do it! we support this decision.

CarolynEvertso1 Republicans need to get rid of TikTok because they are really mad at K-Pop, even though they have no clue what K-pop is. kpop

It'll take two or three campaign donations to both parties before this disappears.

This is bs!!!! You’ll be surprised with how much laughter and funny stuff is in their after a hard day at work ,it’s good therapy!!!

Please just follow what PMOIndia just did to Xijinpin, which is TOTALLY BAN any links with CCP China. It is the most effective,efficient and lowest cost to the whole world relatively 'simple' solution

Simple. Everyone needs to own their own information. They can keep it private or sell it. We have given all these tech companies a free ride for too long. No business gets free assets.

Awwwww did some TikTok users hurt his master's feelings? 😢

I'm sure this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that thousands of kids on TikTok pranked the dictator and pretended to buy up his tickets to the last Klan rally he held in Tulsa where 2/3 of the arena was empty.

I’m not worried about Tik Tok. I’m worried about Ding Dong.

Stop looking. Just Do It! Learn from India.

tRump is such a cry baby weakling! If he would just step down now, he might salvage a small (very) amount of dignity. As of right now this stupid little worm has made our Country a Global LAUGHING STOCK. I’m ASHAMED.

Trump is a moron worry about the hate and the virus that is killing is everyday

I vehemently disagree with Trump, however Tik Tok is a state sanctioned spyware so on this issue alone I ain’t mad!

It would not be better if the law banned him from being born decades ago, this idiot, there is no one in the world with a lower IQ than Pompeo.

Fuck get pompeo

Trump wants to ban TikTok? Sounds like some Chinese bullshit censorship to me. What's next? Twitter?

It can only make us safer and more secured.

They're mad because tik tok trolled them at that utter fail of a rally. Meanwhile they don't do anything about Russia putting a bounty on American soldiers and meddling in our elections. What a joke.

Because the TikTok kids ruined his CovidRally in Tulsa.

i will literally kill myself so i hope they’re ready for that

It's not just closing your eyes that things are going away What happened to freedom in US?

Ban themmmmm looool

Just do it!

There's no way an app that is allowed access to your phone's camera, microphone or keyboard, could be misused, right? The FBI is laughing right now.

if this fatass bitch takes tiktok away i will throw hands ITS ON SIGHT i can vouch for twitter stans when i say that we will end this mans career if he so much as breathes in the wrong direction THIS IS NOT A THREAT ITS A PROMISE

Pull the plug, NOW.

Please do it also in Europe. That's the first time I would agree with the trump administration.

Facist...

Meanwhile the entire world is “looking at banning” American citizens 🤣

More attacks against freedom of speech

Tick-tock teens Punk'd your man and now you're going to ban TickTock. Classic move dummy

They want to banned because it has helped expose the shit that is happening in this country. By the way that would be a violation of freedom of speech!

Of course we must block tiktok for security & privacy risk

Chiba has already banned so many apps and you are just 💭

Beacon of freedom!

I would ban Russian bots...

Eh ... I miss one on the list ... RT America. Coincidence? By the way: RT, formerly known as Russia Television ... and ... still funded by the Russian Government ... aka VladimirPutin. Russian State propaganda. It should be banned everywhere in all democratic countries.

BKnight561 But these are the same people who are making billions with the Chinese.

Trump exacting his revenge for the brdy Punk'd ever! He's looney but he has the memory of an elephant for revenge. Sick bastard. Appears Uncle Don was also grossly inappropriate with his neice, Mary. Now are we surprised? lol TrumpIsAMonster

Not a good idea.

Considering the youth are the biggest fans of tiktok, I'd love to see them try. If an empty rally wasn't proof enough of the power and activism of young people, DumpTrump government taking their fave apps will help bring on the RevolutionOfOurTimes genzpunkedtrump

Banhammer plz!!! Suck it ZOOMERS!! CIA About to cancel culture ur fav new app! Hell yes 🙏👌😄

Pompeo is a traitor, of course he would say that.

Yes!

I hope they realize that there are bunch of MAGA followers on TikTok campaigning for Trump. Didn't see any video from a democrat though, maybe they are short of money.

Great step on the part of USA.

Tik Tok is bad. Concentration Camps for Muslims okay. Got it.

It should be banned, it’s not like some American could not build a comparable app that isn’t accessible by the CCP. It’s easy, folks, “underage child, this app is not something our family will have on our devices.” It’s called parenting.

Wow just screw the 1st Amendment

Finally

How very Russian of you, Pompeo...

U.S.

Cut all ties with China. Free the enslaved Chinese people from the Communist overlords.

It's super necessary

They fear tiktok after the kids reserved all those tickets for Tulsa rally. Empty seats everywhere thanks to these kids. So trump is threatened by kids using tiktok.

The information they are collecting on us through our apps... 🤦‍♀️ Yes, banning would be wise. But we don’t do anything that’s really wise. So there’s that.

Why don't we ban Parler while we're at it? Since Conservatives love their fake science and fake news so much. MSM media reports most of the truth, even if it's not what some ppl want to hear. Faux News tells those ppl what they want to hear, even if it gets them killed or w/e.

Can we look at banning thieving politicians first?

Sounds like a plan. We almost forgot for a minute that Trump has killed 130,000 Americans through an out of control Pandemic....

This is so sad first sign of the failure of western imperialism wherewillIgetmynews TiktokBannedInIndia

Should have already been done.

Too much freedom?

Fragile Trump doesn't like Sarah Cooper making fun of him. 😆

So realDonaldTrump was so mad tiktok_us teens upending his TulsaTrumpRally he is seeking revenge?

I can’t live without sarahcpr! We will revolt!

Pretty subtle. 🙄

We all know it has nothing to do with China, or the fact that they're pretty much spy apps. Most likely is because Trump was duped by a bunch of kids on TikTok. It's easy to make him look like a fool. He does it to himself daily. But when BunkerBoy notices, he freaks out.

My eyes are getting stuck from rolling them so hard.

Ban Twitter!

*eyeroll* Trump's admin is just bitter that Gen Z used TikTok to troll his campaign rally in Tulsa

Scared of teenagers

aworldoftruth why has it taken so long ?

please don't fight lies and Communism with censorship and authoritarianism

Recently Indian banned 59 apps including tiktok.

Hahaha. Teen ages scare the hell out of trumpsters hagahahs

No.❤️

These old white supremacist republican men are so damn fragile.

Every day I wonder where exactly Mike Pompeo allegiances lie. Clearly it isn't here.

Nowhere near enough

And what good will that do!!, ZERO!!, EFFECT!!

Please do Mr Secretary, This is a vicious and insidious tool introduced by the CCP to influence young adults who are easy prey for the Sly and evil Chinese Communists who want to turn them into good little Communists.

Marvelous idea 👍

👀

Haha...then we will be like China...who bans Twitter and others. Cmon man. Let not your heart be troubled....

Is SecPompeo diverting attention away from allowing Putin & Russia to kill American soldiers? Yes. They’ve not denounced it & at every turn, provide cover for Putin & attack Americans instead. Disgraceful & dangerous.

This should be done immediately

He needs to look into banning burgers from his diet. He is going to explode. Are his shirts made with elastic collars for stretch?

Do it

It’ll good day for all humanity

Very bad why americans blame and chinese ?

Stifling Freedom of Speech? 🤐

Does this have anything to do with getting pranked in Tulsa?

Good.

The US Govt only wants the US Govt to spy on its citizens (Earn It Act 2020). It would be scandalous if the Chinese Govt spied on us 😂. Funny the reason TikTok is leaving Hong Kong is because of the similar legislature that the United States is passing right now!

Ban them!

As usual SecPompeo is a uselesss tool who cares more about an app than Russians putting bounties on American soldiers cause lying traitor is so on brand GOPCowards

now US teens will buy chinese vpn to access tiktok. another income. not bad.

TikTok is just spyware loosely disguised as social media.

Tiktok? What's next?

This is why the want to ban TikTok plus the magnificent efficiency to which they screwed Trump in Tulsa.

Wtf ? !

Every social media app should have to feature a large red banner on every screen about their privacy issues. EVERY app, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc. If you want to give the Chinese government your info that's your problem. Of course Trumps media needs a Russian warning.

Yea, we’re looking into blocking your freedom of communication. The more we keep you separated the more we can keep you confused and continue to rape the country. TrumpIsANationalSecurityThreat

lonnieogulnick China is using art of war playbook.

Ask him to worry about the other 2 pandemics we are facing here 1st.

It should be banned long time ago!!!

That’ll stop those meddling kids.

Good move

adding fuel to the fire just letting y'all know😳

But are we looking strongly? 👀

once he is embarrassed his offenders must pay.. *using his position of power.🤔 So.. everyday of his presidency he spends all his time thinking of punishments AGAINST people?

Meanwhile China owns a ton of our debt and we pay them dividends on it. 🙄

Can't be collecting more information than Google. You surf for a handphone model on your chrome browser and the next minute , the ads start popping up everywhere from your emails to your YouTube.

. 'Looking at blocking ... Chinese social media apps' So Please do tell: At the TCP/IP level, exactly how is each independent ISP in the United States supposed to do this? DNS? Routing? Deep packet inspection? Please explain cc SecPompeo

Iam already banning US apps and will delete one by one by the time

When they can't compete with great China they will say they are spying on us.. Satanic government

amyfung75914102 It’s for protecting the personal information of the people. When China is using all the apps to monitor its people, what makes your phone different from the Chinese? CCP keeps stealing our information through the China-controlled apps.

This is NOT gonna improve his polling with the kids.

2nd amendment? 1st amendment? No NRA?......a lot of defenders of 2nd amendment not much for 1st lol

You ruin everything! I hate you! You're not my real dad!

I’m an older adult who loves TikTok. My kids love it. I’d be sad to see it go however if the app has spyware on it from the China, I’m all for getting rid of it. One of these youngsters need to design something similar!

Is this because Tiktok users have been trolling the Trump campaign? realDonaldTrump is so fucking weak.

Because they embarrassed him in a Tulsa?

Please do so!

That is not freedom they start taking away choices like that and Trump will lose big in November

Didn't TikTok pull out of Hong Kong yesterday?

Kellyanne's daughter will not like that !

Those looking at it this way are likely doing it because it exposes them as people breaking conspiracy laws teaching people crime supported with violence while supporting most everyone doing it likely doing it themselves while definitely supporting it & TikTok videos prove it.

Don't like it then ban it. How Communist

Let's just ban mentally ill, failed TV stars and businessmen from entering the presidency.

Social network as twitter, facebook must be banned for use to members of China communist party and chinese diplomats around the world as they do in China to all people

If that’s the case trump aka BASTARD45 SHOULD BE BANNED from America‼️

It’s getting scarier by the day to be an American! The GOP better wake up and get this administration under control before we become a third world dictatorship

Trump admin aside, tiktok and Chinese made apps should absolutely be banned. Literally just data collection apps guised as something else. Look at any Cheetah Mobile apps, all trash, battery hogs, data collectors.

And they call Dem Communists. 😂 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m terrified that one some of y’all believe it’s because Trump is pissed and two that some believe it’s purely because we don’t like China’s policies. This app is openly spying on people.

While I always question the WH's motives, as a teacher, TikTok was annoying AF in the classroom (kids doing dances in their desks all period long). So let's ban it. Lol

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

Good luck with that.

We need to ban Republicans. Scum

I hope many more nations would ban Chinese apps, including TikTok.

Pompeii is a total asshole worst kisses trumps asshole

About time we take actions against the Communist Party.

Seems like an extreme step just to shut down KellyAnne's daughter.

Wow. It seems they’ll go to any length to silence Claudia Conway. 😬

How about all those quizzes on FB?

Good

Do it please

Why don't they ban Facebook at the same time?

I’m ok with that until we all are secured ...

May be too late.

EddieZipperer Dems (2016): OMG Trump talked to a Russian once!!!! Dems (2020): my tiktok just got a million views lol

snailkarma Ah yes, government censorship. The thing we hate about China...

Chinese social media apps are, by definition, extensions of the CCP's secret police. If you don't understand that, or see its implications, you are willfully blind. Rid the country of every bit of the CCP's influence and intrusion.

👏👏👏👏👏

Maria41168395

lonewolfhker Fair game, CCP also ban those from US, do it immediately!!

TikTok Is A Pedophile Magnet And Unsafe For Kids, Warns Cyber Security Expert

Do it..... before election

Y’all TikTokers bout to be sick😂🥴

Here's a hilarious thing none of these web service companies use OFAC anymore! The last company I worked for was mad that I even brought it up yes and that was for an Internet Security Company! So you better start with the whole internet!!

TikTok isn’t doing anything that Google hasn’t done for years.

Look at all the free speech

The US is looking at banning Pompeo too

It’s odd that none of the US tech giants have tried to build an equivalent to Tik Tok. They went aggressive after Snap Stories, Many have their own music or movie streaming services. Strange they wouldn’t try to build a Tik Tok. More CCP brown nosing for big tech, I suppose.

Get rid of them all

A. We don’t do that. B. The teenagers will win. C. Pompeo is distracting from Russian bounties on US soldiers, and Trump’s treason. Focus.

First Amendment!!!

Its kinda funny how the Trump administration is saying that about TIK TOK now since the app has been out for a while, Kellyannes daughter uses it to bash trump!Again no evidence of what they are saying,this administration is full of BS always!

It's amazing that this thread speaks of young people on TikTok. All I see is adults and videos of real-time events of racism and police brutality across the country that the media won't show. It is real and very intense. Better than news. This is why US wants to ban.

That crap is straight-up spyware and malware. The amount of data being sent back to China would boggle people's minds if they knew.

If so, twitter needs to bring back vine with update to make it more like tiktok. There was a void for a long time and tok done filled it

TheAtlanticVamp Then ban Facebook too. Just to avoid bias.

How do we ban Pompous?

Haha..they'd get the young people's attention then....banning things...so american.

Please ban it!! Get kids off it.

Don't look Mr.Secretary, just ban.

Wow this really has become a shitshow!

EmeryReigns Damn bro you seen this?

the zennials will riot

Xenophobia is a guiding principle for these racists.

Best 👍

Amazing how fast USA is doing one by one all the things they critizice of China while China is doing all the things to become the first power.... 😂😂😂

Please act and don’t just talk

Good, let them. We should focus on apps that we create here in the US first, then elsewhere. China is not to be trusted at this point with their Trojan Horse spy software. A threat to national security.

u criticism what China doing,but now u r learning it.

Let those who have not sinned cast the first stone. Anybody who has criticised Chinese or other censorship before surely can’t support this right?

Ban it. Who cares?

Trade should be reciprocal. China bans use of US apps. We should do the same.

OMG talk about snowflakes! What a bunch of crybabies running this country!

Spy agency for China!

Good

LOL. Cause the kids didn't use the rally tickets. 😂😂

I guess Pompeo didn't get the memo that TicTock is where all the trump voters went when they ABANDONED twitter. Well, he has a quandary on his hands now doesn't he?

Yes that's really right. They banned American social media long time ago such as Facebook, instamgram

Good way to lose an entire generation of people that already can barely stand the Republican brand as it is.

Bout time

Sanctions against the CCP, the United States has always been very loud. Sanctions are small. Sanctions are implemented very slowly. The sanctions were lifted very quickly. The CCP understands the United States. So the Chinese Communist Party dares to tease the United States.

China is not our friend. Do it

Never happen we aint got the guts!

Please do it. Give some real life back to 12 year olds and not allow the Communist Party to steal our info.

I don’t know about anyone else but, I bet people sitting in meetings with him are passing notes saying he’s full of it too. All of these guys throwing their careers away, I don’t get it.

It's simply because users are showing their power and it's driving TRUMP INSANE!

Just do it.

Can anyone guess why th government would be interested in banning TikTok? One guess.....

Good. SecPompeo

Go ahead, we're waiting

I don't see why Trump is bent over a barrell with all this China stuff. In my dealings with them, they have been nothing but helpful and generous.

Here we are again with the GOP planning government overreach. What part of LIMITED GOVERNMENT don’t you understand, boys? You are all liberal starting at the top with Mr “socialist American Harvest Boxes” Trump himself.

Good news.Ban all chinese companies!!

Actually any apps from CCP china better banned! A ruined apple, any bite will hurt yourself! Still tempt to take it, just ask for trouble!

The US is looking for retribution because they’re being trolled by teenagers who are smarter than they are.

Finally lol

is their a dislike button for this post ? 😔

What country do I live in? This is insanity 🤬

that is the country’s priority right now, good for you

So now Pompeo opposes digital theft? Sure. TuesdayThoughts

Tik tok and the way kids use it is pretty sad. We’ve created a generation of kids that don’t sit down and talk to each other. Instead they use social media. However, “banning” it sounds like something the Chinese would do to control it’s people. That’s not in our DNA. Thankfully.

WeChat is a STATE-MONITORED app!! CCP is always watching!!

Maybe this would help more FAMILIES actually TALK to each other!!!!!! It’s like a WAR just to get phone away at the dinner table!!

Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why? What about Fox News, it's lies and proganda?

Thus reinforcing the narrative that the US is descending to third world status.

Well it was interfering with a presidential political campaign rally and such should be illegal, it’s sabotaging

revmahoney China banned Facebook, WhatsApp,Google for security reason, why can't others? WeChat being the alternate while it is sharing user data with the Chinese authorities, which includes names, contacts, email addresses, or even a user's your exact location.

While their at it, ban shitty products that fall apart from China. How about double taxation on companies that use China to make their products. Make them bring back employment to the US.

Fascism.

Let's ban racism instead.

I’m not for censorship of any kind but tik tok is a cess pool for pedophiles.

They’re mad at TikTok for ruining their Tulsa rally

Great idea. For once.

Ban all apps let’s get back to regular and no more reality TV 👉🏾😐

We should. Thanks Pompeo!

Is this freedom in America?🤣

This is a theat as well!!! (BUSINESS WIRE)-- Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group , said today it has supported 38 percent of the Fortune 500 companies over the past fiscal year.

Lies and deception

Let's go there...

Just another distraction

No!!!

This administration is a failure they think that by changing their narrative the American people will forget about the Russian plot paying bounties to kill our troops wich I still waiting for this corrupt government to give us an explanation on Russian malicious acts

they just do not want to be pranked or swarmed by tik tokkers again

Go ahead✌

Hahahaha they are butt hurt

Yes do it I know not to download Til Tok or shop on Alibaba

Better yet, why don't we ban TrumpCrock (Fox 'News') and American Fascist media apps?

They really do want to cause all hell to break loose. Start messing with teens tiktok

Sounds like his boss is pissed how effectively Sarah Cooper uses TikTok to mock him...

Tick tok is owned by the Chinese government you all give them access to your info and data use your head 👇

Great work by this guy

Yeah, that'll show them who's boss

TikTokMF

The Chinese block American apps in China, why shouldn't we block there's? I mean if he'd have done this sooner, the entitled Harvard paper cut girl could have kept her dream job.

🖕🇨🇳

Looks like the Trump administration has abandoned all hope of running a serious campaign and fully embraced the concept of American fascism.

Now do Facebook.

The China deny access to American social media apps. The US blocking TikTok would be a matching, reciprocal policy.

You were looking at it you should be doing it shit get off the pot get it done ✅

People all around the world when their government decides to ban china

Wellness4You13 I wonder what prompted that?

How arw they going to do that?

Pompeo is a real failure and another R dunce! Shameful human being

Not sure how they will take this away from millions of teenagers,! Good luck with that!

But Facebook is totally safe 🙄

queeniebee99 realDonaldTrump is 'looking at' banning TikTok and Chinese social media apps, and has told Pompeo to say it.

That's very good news 👍👍👍👍

Good Good welcome welcome...

Oh that would make him more popular with the young ones...

Just because TikTok is not Russian, it's data harvesting not available to Trump's re-election and thus, best to ban it

Keep looking & lip service at the best..!

Like you need to take out waste everyday from your body tik tok is that waste of social media society. Takeitout worstapp

wow we really pissed bunker bitch off with the whole tulsa thing, huh y'all act like we won't find another way lmao.

Please do it SecPompeo

Not Facebook ?

😆 This stinks of desperation and vindictiveness... Sounds like 'somebody's' mad at the TikTok squad putting the kibosh on his little Tulsa 'rub-my-ego' Rally.

Cause Tik Tok humiliated Diaper Don.

Tik Tok teens hit Trump and his admin where it hurt. Teens and other Tik Tok users are smarter than these guys give them credit for and they'll find a way to hit the Trump mob even harder.

What's the matter Cinnamon Hitler can not take being trolled?

Because VNPs aren't a thing apparently.

good

早该采取如此对等措施了。

Young people of TikTok—and our future—the realDonaldTrump and his Administration are looking to ban you. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT? ✊✊🏾✊🏼✊🏿✊🏻 😉

That's the beginning of dictatorship. Also the Gov. Has no right in this.

Who doesn't know this is all because the bunker bitch got punked by kids on tic tok? 🙄

Pompeo is another puppet!! Just because Trump & his admin. got embarrassed and tricked by tiktok_us tiktokers at the Tulsa OK rally 🤣😂🤣 Social Media will just create another one for new Gen Z!😂 dumbanddumber 🤣

That KPop Tulsa ticket buy out chapped his ass.

Yes do it and guarantee we get the 18-30 year old voters out to rid this country of the orange grafting scourge that is trump

I wonder if it has something to do with Trump’s failed rally in Tulsa? Petty little man. 🤣

I would be glad if its done.

HUH? FIRST ANENDMENT ANYONE?

I bet..

SecPompeo Well thought sir,just do it

Good.

Ban Facebook too

Good. Protect our children from China.

WTAF? BanningApps Censorship StateControl bull fuqing sh!t. Rosie robreiner CNN

We're looking at throwing Pompeo in prison.

Walk your dog Stevie!

Why not! FB is banned in China! US bank can't conduct 100% wholly owned business over there but bank of China can do as it pleases in the US and UK

They might as well take LIKEE off also it is from China also lot Russian children use this app on Instagram which is similar to TikTok

Is this because of Tulsa?

As republicans we don’t stand by this

Is this because there's a lot of GOP followers and you all can't control our views there. I want to know the names of those who are boring for this? This will be interesting

Need of the hour....

Well there goes realDonaldTrump ‘s just turned 18 white girl voters..and moms that have been stuck in quarantine and discovered some cool new dances!...

Trump’s still feeling butt-hurt from Tulsa

Wow- Trump: Just because the Chinese Government won't help you steal the election- that's my bet.

Legal minds: can the US government actually ban a social media app? They can't ban a newspaper. And if they can ban it, how technologically do they enforce the ban?

Everyone does realize whatever you ban or block, it doesn't change the fundamentals that covid is pandemic, about a million will expire prematurely. children and grandchildren will learn all about the glamorous prick yr leaders were to consider it's ok to remove executive orders

Is this because of the TrumpVirus to further add blame to China rather than his lack of action

Lol. Then American teens will find a way to access it just like Chinese teens got on Facebook, even though it was banned. Authoritarian govt are always clueless.

so late decision after so many death's..economic sanction are only to hide face not to punish china.. military actions required to dismantle all china military buildup..

If my private data is in the hands of Facebook, it might as well be with TikTok too.

Why they gonna ban it. It’s a free only fans

Good move

That’s a really dumb idea.

Great executive decision. 👌 Don’t forget about ZOOM. 🧐

Finally!

Good! India has alrdy banned them which is a wise move!

India has already banned TikTok so it is possible that the US will as well. If this were to happen TikTok may not survive since the US has over 45 million users, and India had over 120 million users. TikTok would be losing around 40% of their total users if this were to happen.

F you Pompeo

Good. Tiktok is finally being exposed for it’s Chinese connections nonstop by multiple people and even iOS 14 Beta is tracking the keystrokes that Tiktok logs. Fuck China. I don’t want my life being logged by the Communist regime.

Ban it.

Poor teens.

What will they ban next, K-Pop?

Finally

Looking forward to all China's APPS outlawed.

We did first indiafirst

Rally revenge is so Dictator Trump

It's fairly, because China has banned many other countries app, such as Google, Facebook, Telegram, Whatsapp, Instagram, Line, and so on.

Very late but welcome move

We have something in this country called the First Amendment

WoW!!!

India has already banned it, I am afraid it is a means of spying.

The app has taken 2 proton torpedo hits, one more and I think it will explode.

They're pissed TikTokers screwed with Trump's rally. Don't matter, Twitter users and other sites users will fill the gap. TrumpIsALoser

bradencasperson

And why is that? Is it because you are tired of winning? Is it because Americans are having too much fun with Chinese inventions?

YES, please ban TikTok!

Thank GOD!

A good move. A fair play - China should open its market for US companies like Google, FB, Twitter, etc. I find this really weird that while US opens the entire market for all companies, US companies routinely get blocked in China, have to give away IP.

What a messed up self conscious country.

GaryVee

Hahhahaha. I guess sarahcpr is really getting to him. Sad.

We could outsorce this job in China, they have all infrastructure in place.

Weird timing since we’ve known about the security risks for years but only care now that it contributed to ruining a Trump rally. Hmmm.

😂😂😂 kids about to lose their minds

Not gonna happen 🙅‍♂️ realDonaldTrump USTradeRep stevenmnuchin1

Cool! When do we need to start bowing down to Fat Donnie?

Banning Tik Tok would be a great way to incentivize young people to vote.

yes

That Tulsa thing pissed him off 😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😅

Chinese intelligence law 2017 ...Article14..as long as this is written in the china law... All chinese Companies..they would have to dance to tunes of chinese government....

Yes!!!! I support this!!!

It was a matter of time. We don't want the chinese spying on US citizens. Only the US government can do that.

Big thumbs up! 👍 Should've been done sooner.

The lead party finally played a role!

That will teach the pranksters messing with Trump rallies.

Be careful to play this kind of game. Push for nationalism online (something without any sense) can transform in a tragedy for US economy.

Looks like a retaliation for the fact China has banned Google, Facebook, IG, Twitter.

China limited access to foreign information sources. GreatFirewall ChinaNet GreatCannon GoldenShield PermanentBan_ChinaApp

What exactly has Pompeo done about Facebook, the most controversial data mining social media platform in the world CambridgeAnalytica “A decade of indifference for data privacy at Facebook culminated in revelations that organizations harvested user data for targeted advertising”

Ah yes. Banning social media. One step closer to a dictatorship.

This administration can't figure out its ass from its face.

What these guys fear of? US is more like China now. That's stupid.

no ❤️

Several software banned in China

may be bring a local app 'Wall clock' and transfer the likes and yikes,so that we can fly to the moon and play among the stars,yeah

Freedom of speech! Until the 'conservatives' don't like the speech.

What exactly is this supposed to solve? Anyone can make an app, so it's only a matter of time before the next one comes out! technology

LFGGGGG

Lots of idiots replying yes please to taking away a freedom.

Great news! We need to BoycottChina

Very important Godcomment...

HongkongerBW No foreign apps can enter China. That's fair. Also Tiktok is just a data mining malware disguised as addictive drugs.

Trump's youth vote % is gonna go down from 30% to 15%

Swift action on Tik Tok, strange silence on Russian bounties on American soldiers.

This is a violation of the first amendment.

Haha.

US is looking to punish China by impersonating China.

SecPompeo, please also look into Zoom security aspect as well...Review their data centers and how traffic routing happens in Asia continent. We should ask Zoom not to divert traffic through China if Chinese are not involved in meeting/discussions.

为了你们国家安全,必须禁。中国公司全部被CCP控制,从各个方面渗透美国🇺🇸,传媒行业更甚。希望美国的传媒行业,为了全世界的生命与健康,与CCP(RMB)割席。

Banning TikTok will not deter the American youth from communicating to each other. They will find another social media app you have not heard of or they will create their own.

China govt also ban Twitter, but their intelligence still got Twitter acct to spy. 🤔

Great idea. Do it hard and fast.

Don't forget to add ZOOM as well to the list

Don't look, do it!

just do it

It should be banned.

E a China que é autoritária...🙄

Sounds to me like trump and friends are embarrassed tik tok teens outwitted the dimwhits!

agree ask India XiJinpingIsWinnieThePooh lol

click bait

Zuck and trump admin had a deal folks.

BlackDGamer1 Do twitter aswell

The domino effect of China-India aggression. China will learn to integrate better with the international community going forward but will be trickier in their sinister goals.

Salty much! TrumpIsLosing TrumpIsDesperate TrumpMeltdown

Twitter Facebook Google have been banned by china more than 10 years.

Also made in China Apple

Banning TikTok is another good way to motivate young people to vote against Republicans for the foreseeable future.

Why would anyone want to hear from a guy who in his own words is a liar, a cheat & a thief

AOC bragged about coordinating against Trump using Tik Tok. It’s like foreign meddling.

do TikTok users understand the nature of Chinese companies?

Dictatorship.

mmille9 MeghanMeSmile 👀
