Washington The Commerce Department plans to restrict access to TikTok and WeChat on Sunday as the Trump administration's executive orders against the two apps are set to take effect.
The Department said Friday that as of Sunday, any moves to distribute or maintain WeChat or TikTok on an app store will be prohibited. Apple and Google didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.What's happening with TikTok? Here's the latestWhile users who have already downloaded the apps may be able to continue using the software, the restrictions mean updated versions of the apps cannot be downloaded.
So much for the freedom of speech, free market, and the once great America.
I hope CNNFakeNews is next. Who agrees?
Communism
Obviously Trump has never tried to ground a teenager from their phone. realDonaldTrump It ain’t gonna work bro.
We know why.
So much for being a free country, I guess.
I don't believe that the US Gov't has any business making it EXPENSIVE for my US CITIZEN (CHINESE BORN) wife to have to pay tolls & fees to contact her relatives in CHINA. Shutting down WE CHAT is not a good idea. I am not that familiar w/TIK TOK & don't use it, but do WE CHAT
There goes our freedom
Don't tell your kids. It's going to be crazy when they find out.
mfc_truth Did someone tell Trump about VPNs already? Nope? Ok. We still good. 😂😂😂
selinawangtv The cunning tencent has created another app calls WeCom as new wechat overseas version. People can use current wechat ID to login and everything remains the same as before. Please report
selinawangtv Good move. Ban TicTok
selinawangtv I'm sure that if the apps can't be downloaded from Google Play Store or Apple Store, the .apk will be available online everywhere you look. You can't put the toothpaste back into the tube. Trump sucks! Vote JoeBiden /KamalaHarris
selinawangtv How is only starting this Sunday and not right away and allowing current users to continue the app helping “national security”?
selinawangtv So let me see if I got this right. The fat bastard realDonaldTrump is shaking down Oracle & TicToc so he can get a piece of this deal or he will shut it down?

Good!
So this is because it is a security risk- but everyone is downloading it in advance of Monday and it will still be available, just won’t be able to get updates and security fixes. Is that correct?
And just like that we suddenly in a authoritarian regime... everything that is use to oppose the “oh dear leader” needs to be scrapped... never thought I would see the downfall of the land of the free
“beyond despicable,' 'soulless,' 'almost unspeakable.'
Thank you for getting rid of this shiitte ridden trash!
Facebook Owns Instagram Tik tok Competes With Instagram Facebook Spreads Disinformation Russia Needs FB and Instagram. Mystery Solved.
Censorship................ oh dam !
Land of the free (fascists)
Who shall offend the king next? He who offends the king shall be plucked out and cast away? Will it be thee Facebook? Or perhaps the Twitter? Perchance CNN? The king demands it. Piffle!
Bunkerbitch! Nannystate
Good. Let the kids thrust their pelvises elsewhere
This is not good business. No real proof shown they are criminal any more then the current administration.
V P N
Ppl already forget how wechat censor virus outbreak & spread fake news said it originated from US.
craig75274503 You mean I'm still living in America? That can't be right.
Good
The stupid shit our government focuses on
Dumb asses worried about tiktoc and we chat not covid19 and Burn Loot Murder
Just take it away! Or tiktok will replace the position of drugs in the young American hearts and take over their leisure time ……
There is nothing capitalist about this
~ chilling
The MF will lose millions of votes because of this move Tiktok user will not vote for him
Where are all the antimaskers claiming this violates their American freedom to do whatever the hell they want?
That is a great election strategy!
So I'm guessing its just the US government that wants to steal our info but if they was getting paid by these companies do you really think they would do much to protect us its all about the money they ain't looking out its just an excuse of a bigger picture let's be honest
Then everyone on TicTok vote for Biden.
FYI: TikTok takes just about every conceivable piece of data off of your phone and gives it to the Chinese Government... America is following multiple other countries in the ban.
I don’t use TikTok but going to download it just because....
U S finally growing a pair
Where’s the outrage from the republicans? Don’t take away our freedom.
In Canada it is okay and there’s no threat, so just virtually “relocate“
sarahcpr please create a few and save to post offer the ban please and Thankyou! You made his rants bearable 😁🍸
So funny watching the US and the UK throwing their weight around like the superpowers they think they are, and the rest of us are like 'k, thanks, bye 👋' 😅😅
banthepresident2020
why not Zoom....... bone spurs for that battle
This is funny
So fucking happy to see this. No more trash tiktok videos 😇
If you can’t compete you try to destroy, this country is pathetic
He’s upset because he didn’t get a cut of the deal.
This is stupid
American youth, this is what living in a Dictator country feels like. If realDonaldTrump doesn't like it, he bands it!! Vote against this shit! BidenHarrisToSaveAmerica from a Dictator!!!
GOOD!
Eroding your rights one app at a time.
this is the 3rd time you’ve said this, we don’t care
Sorry katiejhunt_
aw
About time. The P, CCP (Paranoid Chinese Communist Party) bans many Western apps that will make their citizens think outside of the box of conformity.
Move to Canada the land of the free. And TikTok downloads.
Good move by president trump realDonaldTrump,you can’t use Instagram in China
Oooh look! A Squirrel!
The USA is so weak today. Good thing. Fight with yourself and stop messing with other countries.
Only becuz Trump thinks they want to help Biden. What about Russia can you band them to
Remember when our government actually did useful and meaningful acts? RememberInNovember
Good
arnohb112 👏👏👏
extremely relevant actions from a government with literally no other problems to care about. Definitively, Trump is a very focused and rational leader. Congrats to all Americans and happy re-election of this wonderful and wise leader!
Brought to you by the Republicans, the party of small govt.
Trump might as well ban all his signature merchandise.
THANK YOU NOW ALL THESE TEENAGE GIRLS CAN FIND A REAL JOBBBB
Our dictator is at it again! Pay to play!
VPN😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥
If you use these apps and are old enough to vote, get registered and get your Freedom back. BringBackHope
And because of this I now have one
This playbook looks really familiar. A day after his new “patriotism education “ announcement. Ticking every autocrat check box. hidinginplainsite
Isn’t that a violation of the First Amendment?
You’re going to have a bunch of angry people who rely on the money they make on these apps! FakePresidentWasEmbarrassed
We are China or Cuba.
😂😂😂😂😂 what's funny half the idiots on it live Trump
It Was The Who Cares For Me✨
LOL
get yours now - Olivia Troye cares .... she was in the room where it happened
Isn't this what communist governments do?
That trash app is a degradation of society so it doesn’t matter
So does this mean ppl who have the apps now can still use them after that and it just restricts people from downloading it after that?
Of course the gov't is doing this.
Does this mean we should make sure we install it today if we haven't already? How the F can the government ban downloads?
TicTok and WeChat do your thing. He’s going to really regret this.😂CHINA IF YOUR LISTENING.........
f7xU8bI5aICo5ky From things I have heard we should pay close attention to what China is doing with our youths information 💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊💙
LETS GOOOO
✌🏾now kids can be kids
Wait, the Biden supporters should be so happy. They want to be like China. What happened? Where's the communist gusto that was there before this?
We’re dealing with Chinese by doing the same shit they do. Wtf?
Russia MOST PROBABLY has a nasty secret about realDonaldTrump and is pulling the strings on Trump. Only time will tell what this nasty secret is...
TRUMP is just throwing his weight around. I don't see him banning anything from RUSSIA. I know for damn sure he won't ban Twitter, that is his lifeline.
Haha seriously nobody told the government tech 'experts' what a VPN is...my grandson knows and he's 9 😊
People will still be able to download it using vpn.
Sorry but Tik Tok is full of racist content and Fake News. And the Chinese App tolerates it. Besides from his real intentions. I think its a good thing. Tik Tok is a disgrace.
Gee. Now that TikTok's out of the way, maybe His Royal Fecal Highness and his ASSministration will have time to look into this annoying little pandemic...
tRump just woke a sleeping giant. They may not be able to vote now but they will remember that Republican's did this. GOPCorruptionOverCountry
Democrats laud PlannedParenthood for their systemic culling of minority humans. You democrats will always be racist slaveholders.
What about voting machines made in China? Just curious.
Oh really... huh! Is Trump afraid of the kids?
So China blocks its citizens from certain internet access and applications. Now the US is starting to do the same. It’s a slippery slope is all I’m saying.
