- The House voted overwhelmingly to approve a bill that would force a sale of TikTok to a US company. For years politicians have threatened a ban, but this latest attempt finally gained traction. Could Britain follow suit in America's crackdown on TikTok? Conservative MP Iain Duncan Smith and writer Matthew Continetti discuss.

Why? Have a look at who owns the company.
More state control of the media.
We need more free speech not less.
TIKTOK IS TOXIC!
Bot.
@@samanthaclugston6685 THEN BAN FATAMINR
India banned Tiktok back in 2020 while the west is still debating whether or not to do so 🙂
Imagine the teenage meltdown, lol.
Won't be any, they will change to a like service in 2 days.
Free speech
5:40 When a person, in any position, cares only about himself, his "ideology" will be emotion-based and ephemeral.
Tik Tok has very little value and should be banned no matter who owns iit
Middle aged guy at work uses it as his main source of news. He knows more than anyone about the western terrorist attack in Moscow. It looks way better then Twitter, which to me is 100% waste of time. And why is nobody mentioning data harvesting by western companies? What's the difference? What threat is China to me? I'd probably prefer them to be harvesting my data rather than the criminals running the west. I'm in Canada, by the way. Who do you think I trust less?
Its all a waste of time...be safe folks.
Who decided that
More censorship, disgraceful.
Bot.
Wu Mao.
YEAH BRILLIANT 😁👍COME ON UK 🇬🇧 👌!!!
"I could see this bill passing in the Lame Duck Session after the election in November ...." What??
It's only a lame duck session if Biden loses. If he wins it's a live duck.
It’s a lame duck session regardless, as it would be Biden’s second (and last) term. US presidents have a limit of two terms.
I don’t think he’ll win.
They should not ban ticktock ban facbook
Disagree, they should ban TikTok first then consider all other social media platforms. They are all a huge waste of time and turn people into dippy mindless zombies.
The CCP are using it to spy upon the world, whilst not allowing their own young minds to use it because of how damaging it is
BOTH.....
NOBODY uses Facebook
exactly @@DailyCorvid
I hope this ban goes ahead, it's not a good site especially for kids & Facebook aswell.
We need more free speech not less.
Parents can take their phones off their kids.
@@evolassunglasses4673 We can start a new site that will give everyone free speech without tik tok, it's doesn't have free speech on there, try and say something that goes against what tik tok stands for and you'll be banned as many conservatives have found out. Try and take phones from some kids and parents get hell, things are as easy as you think they are.
@@evolassunglasses4673 It doesn't have free speech on there, free speech we do need for sure, but not from that site we don't as it's been bad for kids and adults alike when it comes to free speech. You can believe what you want but you can't voice it on that site as easy as others.
Free speech. Do not ever interfere with it.
Free for thee, not the CCP.

The key concern with this tik tok ban is that it sets a precedent for any and all social media platforms having to toe the line by government statute, sell up or face being banned! What if they manage to convince Congress that Elon Musk is a “bad player” and a threat to national security? He’ll be forced to sell up or be banned; I agree with IDS on some issues but his CRDS (China Russia Derangement Syndrome) is somewhat addling his thinking!!
IDS still exists? Never liked the guy and leaders like him were the reason the Tories lost until they had the ghastly tory-blairite Cameron win after Brown's government became really unpopular. Sadly there is no actual conservative party and the few conservative tories had no support for their agenda.
He is right on China however. In their newest two sessions period, the country is becoming more and more centrally authoritarian, going further and further away of the post-mao model of collective leadership of their dictatorial bureaucracy. Xi took away powers from other institutions such as the people's congress and especially the office of the PM, who was especially humiliated this time by not even having the symbolic powers and a press conference after the two sessions anymore. The relatively well liked Li Kekiang sad during the last such press conference that about 600m still live on under 160$ per month. He was replaced later and died under strange circumstances not long ago. At another big party meeting last year, Xi had his predecessor Hu thrown out by security infront of cameras. The man wants to be in complete control of everything and purges people constantly while China's economy is going down
"China commits genocide" said unironically after accusing TikTok of allowing criticism of Israel! That crime is true of both, but the free west only allows criticism of one, China also only allows criticism of one. Which is superior?
Tiktok allows more criticism of China than of Palestine. And that's why they want to ban it. They don't want people knowing the truth of the genocide.
Biden needs to Save His Butt. Of course Joe R. Biden Jr. Is going to sign the bill.
Trump is just speaking The facts of the Matter.
TIKTOK IS TOXIC 🤮😡!
No it isnt
@@jacksmith-mu3ee YOU CAN'T SEE IT BECAUSE YOUR INDOCTRINATED 👍! HOW OLD YOUNG ARE YOU?
@@samanthaclugston6685 THEM WHY IS DATAMINR TAKING DATA FOR CIA ?
Yes, TikTok should get banned but the law should be really strictly tailored to companies giving data to adversary countries. Let it not become another anti freedom of speech and surveillance law.
How about all the anti-white "hate speech" on tiktok and other platforms and media? I sometimes wonder if China intentionally tweaks the algorithmic recommendations to promote insane views among the young in thr West. It would be interesting to see if the type of recommended content on blank accounts is different in countries which are friendly to China...
We need more free speech not less.
@@evolassunglasses4673 indeed and the Anglosphere countries except America seem to be most eager to clamp down on it compared to other Western countries
