Let's start a crowdfunding campaign to purchase it privately together. I've got $37.
Happy veratasium noises
Given we buy it just to close it, I got a couple bucks
I’ve got $53 to throw in.
Someone make up an offer to ByteDance for *checks math* $90

Ive got 17.53
Google should buy it.
So it'll go to the Google Graveyard.
A great idea- it will go down just like Google+
@@tylersanders2388Google+ was never “up”, so it never went “down”. It was a dumpster fire from inception
@@tylersanders2388Nah, it'd go down more like Google Music or Podcasts, where there'd be an underbaked attempt to turn it into a CZcams offshoot. Basically guaranteed considering CZcams shorts are already a thing.
Maybe LMG can buy Tiktok and use it as a tax write off
Elon should definitely buy it and be part of X Corp as Xvideos
Chinese spyware or American spyware. Take your pick.
My thoughts exactly. The US loves to play the good kid, but they're as bad or even worse than China when it comes to privacy laws regarding social media apps.
I find it funny because if other countries around the world banned apps like Facebook or Twitter, those companies will barely make any money out of just the US customer base because they hardly have the population unlike China or India.
The current state of the US is just abysmal. Senile people in power who have little to no understanding of how the world functions right now are taking decisions based on their own insecurities.
Honestly American, any day of the week
@@guillex6443How about trying to get to neither 😭
You are delusional if you would pick Chinese spyware over American spyware.
CZcams literally deleted my comment on what if Facebook or Twitter was banned across the world except for the US. Like wtf CZcams??
I commented on this thread and it was removed.
Now this is a real clip size!!
If a live have 10h and you cut a 5h session, it is a clip
@pedro4205 there is people disagreeing with you.
@@Felix-Memoria. those people BY definition would be wrong. unlike @pedro4205
a clip is literally any size smaller than the full length video from which it came.
I hope they don't sell it and choose to shut down.
Its great not getting TikTok advertisement's on CZcams at the moment with all stuff relating to it, hopefully its stays that way and then temu next.
I am still getting these ads... (Outside US)
The US said there's not enough separation between Chinese businesses and the Chinese government, but yet the US government can legally demand data from any US business.
Yes but why would the US government ever regulate itself, they’re obviously perfect angels who could never do any harm 😇
I wholeheartedly agree with what you were saying but from the perspective of the US government, pretty much all us social media apps like Facebook Twitter etcetera so on and so forth are all banned in China so why can't they do the same for the same reasons as the Chinese government. The president that sets is very worrying to me but at the same time, so long is this doesn't go beyond US adversaries, I am not too concerned. The question is can we trust the US government to not take this Beyond us adversaries and that is unknown
They can ask for it.
The companies are allowed to ignore the requests (excluding warrants granted by judges for investigating criminals, but even then that can be tricky). That's the difference.
No. You are wrong.
@@astrogatorjonesNuh uh
Its sad, but id have more trust in them than the US government to control it. The US government was concerned that it can use the wifi if you have the app open and youre using wifi.
The U.S. government doesn’t want to control it they want some not under Chinese control too
China doesn’t even allow Tik tok to operate in China why should we let do it here
Floatplane should buy since it is worth billions
No mention of why it’s being banned….
So you’d be ok with an NSA/Meta app? What would the CCP think of that? Oh, right there is that.
I don't think the US government has as much power on this as they think, I think people will just get another account from another country and maybe a VPN, that's what I did when clash Royale first released to get the canadian version, I just made a canadian apple account.
The users I can see that happening, but for creators I don't know why they would do that.
Creaters need ad money. Most of the US use Apple so side loading is impossible and changing country is also tricky.
EU and other US allies are also not really found of Tik Tok and they will get banned there too
@@sorryi6685 I mean most creators don't get ad money directly from tiktok though, the creator fund on there is famously bad and I'm sure sponsors wouldn't care.
Tbh, Twitter is much better than it was before buyout.
Community notes is the biggest example.
Less bans is also amazing.
Buy tiktok and rename it to vine (bad idea probably)
I mean isn't it basically what Vine was
ReVined
I have a feeling they don't want to sell the company because the majority of likes and follows (at least initially) were generated by fake users they created to raise interest in the app, and all their dodgy business practices may be exposed.
I wonder if it just moves to non-US app store
I'd love to have something other than Play Store
I saw Snapchat should buy it so a thing I don't use can get bought by a company I don't use..
India banned tik tok whick felt like end of world for tik tok community but they migrated and thriving on Instagram abd CZcams shorts. Same thing will happen in US
It's due the Free Palestine stuff permeating the platform, which has created impasses for the people who fund, back, lobby for, and helm the political campaigns and uniparty, which is mostly pro-Israel/pro-war-spending...older people, unlike "the other side". It's not a democrat v. republican thing: on one side, you have people who for whatever reason oppose Israel, foreign intervention, and censorship (mostly lower-case-R republicans, leftists, non-neocon conservatives, left-leaning libertarians, right-leaning libertarians, and even many younger default liberal types), and on the other you have people who for whatever reason endorse the ban and/or Israel specifically (the Democrat Party, the Republican Party, Neocons, Neolibs, uppercase-L Liberals, especially the older ones, zionist globalist types, and other "establishment" forces).
It's not as easy as left and right...this is more accurately described as establishment versus populist/market/the public. Or the Ruling Class versus the working class.
Don’t agree with it.
Tic Tok and App Stores should let there users know what kind of data is collected and what they do with the data because if it gets sold it’s going to go to someone like google or meta which again they ain’t very open as to what they do with our data.
Agree with Luke.
Would it come close to monopoly if Microsoft, Apple or Amazon buy it?
If they try to do things to harm CZcams shorts then yes but what any of those companies could do to Google is beyond me
Discussion:
Elon cause he'll make it burn.
End of Discussion. 💀
Raytheon should buy It
I love this idea, I would absolutely install tiktok at that point just to see what Raytheon does with it
They could sell it to Elon Musk, it would be the same thing as shutting it down and they get paid
honestly they'd probably let Elon "buy" it. A significant percentage of China still loves him and his products.
The Joker perhaps?
sell it to those nigerian princes that need to get back home
Why are they afraid? Makes me think they know something. That Facebook/X are doing the same thing
LTT should buy TikTok....
So what? TikTok is already terrible, just let it go to the Google Graveyard…
Even if TikTok needed to be sold, why should only the USA have rights to buy it?
It's not that only companies in the US have the right to buy it, but more like if it wishes to continue operation in the USA it must be acquired by a US company because of TikTok being owned by China. China being a bit of a threat to the US and all
@@personthing7733 Why a European company couldn't?
@@pedro4205a European company could. It just can't be a country that is adversarial with the United States.
@@personthing7733 so let them ban TikTok. That will cause many people to become furious.
How else would the American government censor what they dont like?
Musk is south african, should twitter be forced to sell?
He has take US citizenship. South Africa is also not an enemy state. As of now China, North Korea, Iran , Russia are. Considered as enemy state
Apple will pay the fine since they want people use the Apple AppStore
Epic games should buy it and promote fortnite!
please don't burn me
Epic, that is 50% owned by a Chinese company.
Remember that a large portion of Twitter is owned by foreign nationals, including Saudi royalty, and that this law could be used against Musk.
US government is in Saudi Royals pockets so no
That entity is China......... It's not a US based company. Sure privacy and all that aside, there is real issues with a Chinese owned company having full user data of all the TikTok users.
US data is actually is keep in a Oracle-based data center. Oracle was literally created for CIA use.
Imagine Apple buys Tiktok and makes it an iPhone and iPad exclusive. That would make even more people switch to iPhone
don't give them ideas
Or stop using tiktok
Not even the best app is worth buying an iphone
That way tiktok would definitely lose ~60% of their users
@@Zvxers7 duh
Don’t you mean switch to Android
On one hand, I want TikTok to shut down because I hate it, but on the other hand, I want to stay up in some form because every other social media entity is going to double down on what TikTok is doing in an attempt to fill the gap and every other social media will only get more like it than it already is
if its elon its all the better is will go away the best part of that idea.
Yeah why not just give it to a bond villian, cool.
Elon wishes he was on that level
Tiktok has said they will not sell.
No sideloading on iPhones.
The issue isn’t that there’s an entity controlling an app
The issue is that there is a FOREIGN entity controlling the app
As much as I hate tik tok.... this is a violation of the first amendment from USA. The gov... just want all the control to them selfies. but hey, if this is a area of the Android, bring it! you still can use tiktok, but you must leave apple's iphone rules
VPN go brrrr. It is in bad taste to use TikTok
a private company based in the US is pretty different from a foreign adversarial government. Seems like an obvious thing that should not need explaining to an adult person
No it's the same thing. You are just willing to sell to the US and not to China. Both cases you get f**ked but are willing to overlook the US counterpart.
to hell with TikTok
Video 37 Linus please build me a free PC
US government doesn't use us based social platforms the same way that ticktock has been used to suppress dissent in hong kong, there are no legal barriers china would respect that would stop ticktock from more subtly doing the same over here, and their laws allow them to force companies to comply in ways our companies are not
Imaging Apple buys TikTok and makes it an IPhone and iPad exclusive app that you can’t delete
That one way to increase Android sales.
Lmao I wish.
What would happen in that scenario is iPhone sales will skyrocket instead.

Someone buy it and throw it away forever. It's a shitty app that creates low effort content from lazy content creators.
