- TikTok says it will challenge in court an "unconstitutional" law that could result in it being sold or banned in the United States.
President Biden has signed into law a bill which gives the social media platform's Chinese owner, ByteDance, nine months to divest the app or it will be blocked in the US.
The law has been introduced because of concerns TikTok might share user data with the Chinese government - claims it has always denied.

Tiktok, Google, CZcams and Facebook - all banned in China 😂😂😂 the audacity.
Yup and the list goes on: instagram, whatsapp, skype, zoom, linkedin, etc etc....US bans one app and they lose their shit lol
So, basically you're saying the US is no better than China?
All this time I thought the US was a beacon of freedom.
they have no shame. And fully based on stolen technology too.
They are not banned, they can operate in China, if they follow the Chinese laws that are same for all social media.
*Audacity wearing power* 👒
please ban it in EU as well
and do it now! Then ban all other chinese apps.
And the UK please! 😂
Or just use what apps you want to use and mind your own business when it comes to what other people use.
Tik tok free from all government forms of control? That's the problem 😂....? A lot of people hated this .....

The CEO of TikTok says he wouldn't let his kids use tiktok. That speaks volume. 😂
Because Tiktok is not designed for children.
hes being honest
Yes, a wise man. For sure he thinks same about other social media too.
Well tiktok isn't made for kids now is it?
Teenager and above are the target audience.
Trump called Facebook the enemy of the people.
be banned but please don't sell it to USA.
He says he doesn’t share TikTok data with Chinese authorities but Chinese law requires full access to all data of Chinese companies.
It's not a Chinese company..
TikTok doesn't run on Chinese servers. Learn how tech works and reason logically. The only way China could get it is if US data centers gave it to China. If China wants your data, they'll easily buy it from Meta which has a larger userbase with chat features for user conversations. TikTok doesn't have that.
This is why so far US government hasn't provided any concrete evidence to back their claims. And US will definitely lose in court if they don't find solid proof to back their claim that China somehow gets American data via TikTok
But ByteDance is, which owns TikTok soooo …..

@@baybarsedturner2 You'd have to go outside and touch grass, im not sure you'd survive
@@imagination43 I was being sarcastic.
So in reality don't want to really ban the app as long as the owner sells it so they can have an owner who is submissive and they can control / influence the narrative.
I think it's more to do with paranoia over China having access to so much American data
@@sweetnesscanwin589 Didn't seem to be that bothered before. This ban has been more in play since zionist claimed the app is anti semetic. Because they have shown in real time facts of their genocide.
@@abuhudaifah_0 I agree that this would have accelerated things massively, as the U.S has become totaliterian in its effort to keep the genocide going whilst pretending it isn't genocide. However, this was in the works before 10/7, with silicon valley big wigs publishing full breakdowns over TT's sign-up terms allowing 'the most invasive breach of privacy ever', backed (ironically) by the CIA, and this quote was pasted on headlines, joe rogan podcasts, and generally whipping up panic.
Dude nobody really cares about the situation in the middle east. TikTok is getting banned because China are spies
BINGO
Facebook was fined 725 million for selling your information, but Tic Toc is the problem.
Yes, correct. Tictoc is the problem.
It's funny that isn't it. They don't just allow Meta etc to spy on their citizens but they actively do it themselves too (NSA). The only reason this one is different is because they can't control it.
What part don't you understand? Yes tik tok is a problem.... SMH

@@michaelgothenburg364TikTok isn't a problem. It's just caught between geopolitical tensions mostly waged by the US government against any competitor on the world stage. If China wanted your data it would buy it from Meta that has way larger database of users along with their conversations since Meta has chat features, TikTok doesn't.

😂Tiktok is banned in China either , why doesn’t it fight China’s “unconstitutional” ban
My thinking as well. Can the owner also challenge the Chinese government?
I think because china is a lost cause in terms of social media
Well, aren't large companies in China forced under the CCPs oversight?
So, they'd be challenging their colleagues and bosses, the same ones mercilessly eradicating Tibetans and Uyghurs. From that, I'd say that unless TikTok is guaranteed to win, they'd never dare to step up and upset Pooh Bear.
a different version of it is still there i think
China surely has a different constitution than the US
Scared of the truth.
Facebook as well
USA freedom of speech only when it suits them. Total manipulation😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Freedom of speech doesn't apply to communists.
This is not a freedom of speech issue. There are legitimate concerns with TIKTOK that do not sit well with national security and privacy issues.

Even if they did ban it, eventually, someone will just come out with a new social media app and people will start using that instead.
It's not about that. It's about that the Chinese government controls what should be allowed to be posted, controls what should be deleted
As long as China isn't spying on us that's cool

@@DreamEater-cb2clrampant gun crime is a cultural issue, not a government one and nor is it on the government to fix.
There are over 20,000 laws that regulate gun access, use, selling and purchase.
I guarantee, there is not an idea you have they have not tried already.
Banning them will not work for two reasons; 1, you could not do it if you tried. 2, it would not be moral. Sorry to say it out loud, but it is the last check and balance on government power, which is more important in the long term than a short term problem.
@@DreamEater-cb2cl Lies spread faster than bullets. Tiktok is not just a social media platform, its a spyware app designed to spread propaganda that makes the CCP look good and the West look bad. Its designed to destabilize the West and turn the CCP into the centre of the planet.
This is like the South Park episode of the Chinese invasion of America. The US think China 🇨🇳 is invading the US using TikTok 😂
I’d love to see a referendum or something in the UK about banning this
there is nothing in the consitution about not banning business as far as I'm aware
In the constitution it states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;"
@@STAR-de9lowhy does banning only one of many platforms abridge your freedom of speech.

@@dougaltolan3017there no such thing as conditional freedom my friend
@@brandonjablasone7544 ohh, there's one to get one thinking 👍
The reality is that in this world, and I'll wager any world with more than 1 being, there is no absolute freedom.
No matter what the society (even total anarchy) there will always be restrictions.
Since we are considering the first ammendment, think of how many laws there are that restrict free speech. Shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre for instance. Libel, defamation etc etc.
So, how much of a condition is it to prohibit 1 stream?
Rational part over, let's get down to typical YT comments arguing..
Is it a 1st ammendment violation to prohibit someone from writing thier message by arranging dead puppies?
Its not a business though. Its a media app owned by a hostile power that wants to destabilize and ultimately subjugate the West. Winnie the Pooh himself said he wants China to be the centre of the world again.
Tiktok as a "regular source of news." This generation is stuffed.
Honestly how much do they pay for this app ? A cent ?
Why the hell do people use TikTok as a news source, you don't choose the news, TikTok chooses news for you, CZcams at least lets you choose media, and the media is posting regular updates like this.
Ban TikTok in the UK please and thank you!
Yes and round up those annoying influencers who influence no one and parachute them into iran to see if they can do some influencing there?
It would make no difference. The Chinese have many other ways of spying on you.
Beat me to it 👌
I'm concerned about Google's growing monopoly and its recent terms and conditions that suggest users can simply "leave their platform" if they disagree. This overlooks Google's pervasive presence across mobile operating systems, online services, and advertising.
Google's Android and Apple's iOS dominate the mobile OS market, limiting consumer choice and competition. Almost every third-party service has some connection to Google, giving it unprecedented control over the digital ecosystem.
The idea that users can easily leave Google's platform ignores the reality of its dominance and the lack of viable alternatives. This highlights the urgent need to break up Google to promote competition, transparency, and consumer choice.
Breaking up Google would address antitrust concerns and foster a more competitive digital landscape. It's time to ensure a vibrant and diverse digital economy that benefits everyone, not just a few tech giants.
W
These companies are massive and dominant because they are the best at what they do. There might not be any good alternatives to CZcams, but it’s not Google’s fault every other video sharing site is just terrible.
You can argue that given their sizes, they can afford better R&D and develop a better product, but it’s still a better product. These companies didn’t pop into existence with billions of dollars. We shouldn’t be punishing the successful for being successful.
Granted being so early to their industries, timing gave them an advantage, but they made their investments at the right time and it paid off.
If you want a change, make a change. Stop using services you don’t like. Buy yourself a flip phone built in the early 2000s and stop supporting the companies you feel are already too big. Better yet, buy a cheap off brand smart phone and support alternatives. If you aren’t willing to deal with a slow and buggy off-brand OS to support potential competition, then that’s you not sticking to your principles. That’s just wanting the best out there and complaining that it’s made by the people in the position to do it best.
You don’t NEED any services Google provides. It’s not food, water, shelter, or air.
So I have this problem with CZcams music and their lack of safety online, this is the situation..
CZcams Music, particularly when used in a child-friendly setting.
Despite taking the following precautions:
Using an age-restricted account
Playing from a private playlist
Turning off music suggestions
Setting the playlist to repeat
Selecting soothing music excluding content from "The Book of Mormon"Inappropriate content, specifically "Hasa Diga Eebowai" from "The Book of Mormon," was played to my 19-month-old child, on multiple occurrences.
Even if you download the playlist and cast across to a Google mini, it still happens.
This incident raises significant questions about the reliability and appropriateness of CZcams Music's content filtering and selection mechanisms. It is alarming that despite these safeguards, the platform can still select and play content that is clearly not suitable for a young child.
The ongoing email correspondence with Google Support over the past 10 months has reached 70+ emails without a satisfactory resolution, further highlighting the severity and complexity of this issue.
Thanks for your time.... cheers

"TikTok's privacy policy lists that the app collects usage information, IP addresses, a user's mobile carrier, unique device identifiers, keystroke patterns, and location data, among other data. Other information collected includes users inferred interests based on the content they view as well as content created by users. TikTok can share data with its corporate group, including ByteDance. The company says that it employs access control and approval process overseen by a U.S.-based team. In June 2021, TikTok updated its privacy policy to include potential collection of biometric data, including 'faceprints and voiceprints'."

Can someone please explain to me why they want to ban tiktok? And wdo they want to buy tiktok of it's not even for sale?
US narrative: TikTok is making young gen do dumb shit, which they already do without TikTok.
TikTok: They are blocking protest media reports about Palestine from TikTok, unconstitutional blabla, although majority doesn't give a damn abt it.
My view: It's a daylight robbery. 😂 But then, who cares it's between those major country.
Whatever US is pushing now is just excuses to rob or ban TikTok as per Marks (Facebook) directives.

@@JackFrost-ib3xrNow apply that next to the 16 counties that already banned TikTok on government devices. Those 16 countries plus US are all in line right behind India.
Why didn't Tiktok fight China on the ban 😅
Because China already has much more efficient apps to data mine China, namely Weibo and WeChat.
CCP bans tiktok and fentenatyl in China but doesn't think other countries should ban these CCP products. How's that right?
TikTok runs on foreign servers like Singapore, UK and US (Texas) so China banned it and created their own version called Douyin that runs on their own servers.
Technically CZcams, Facebook etc weren't banned. They were asked to comply with Chinese laws and they refused so they left.
Apple, Tesla etc comply with Chinese laws and they're doing great in China.

Firstly, tik tok and fentanyl are not banned in China. tik tok is just an overseas version of douyin. Also regarding fentanyl, China sells you medicine , who would have thought you would use it as a drug? Blame it on your own government's inaction.
@@akdhsfk First off Tiktok as it exists is banned in China.
Second the US is be flooded with fentanyl by suppliers based in China. I'm going to repeat that part, there are fentanyl suppliers operating in China - the same China where the CCP controls everything people can say or do.
I wouldn't blame the US, I would blame the CCP.
Also the deflection argument (of this having nothing to do with the CCP) is the same BS argument used to defend the CCP fishing fleets that plunder food from the EEC of foreign countries.
I wonder if the Tiktok CEO would have the courage to turn down the request from CCP to use their algorithm to manipulate the election of the US and UK😂
Firewall US data part had me Laughing.
Ever seen the documentary 'the great hack'. Shows how important data is.
Ban in Canada to plz
Your next BBC
"you're"
If China can veto the sell, that mean CCP can access tiktok. How tiktok CEO can against CCP that he will not share tiktok data.
I don't use Tik-Tok but I don't think the US government should barge in and demand it sells or gets banned. I believe 'safety for children/young people' was the main reason given. But there are plenty of places to post short videos. CZcams & Facebook for example. I can understand a ban on government/work devices though.
