Donald Trump to stop the TikTok ban
#11
If it can't be proven that Tik Tok has China's propaganda on it's platform and it can't prove that customer bank accounts have been breached that does not mean that the Chinese government won't take the platform over to do with it what it will. Where's the security, where's the peace of mind? Are Shein and Temu also to be considered security risks? What about Rednote - now the new trend?

I am against government being allowed to censor like this. They have already moved and censored smaller apps as well. I’m giants it all.

I don't use that app so I don't have a pony in this race, however, if people want to use an app without caring about their security, then have at it. However, governments seem to think that China will somehow be able to cause harm through these types of apps.

Let's see what the new government in the U.S. does regarding national security measures, if any, before we take a stand against censorship.

I’ve never used it either.

but I am for less government, and government control. I’d like to see the federal government shrunk.

How long have I heard that statement? Oh yes, always and forever.

I just saw on the news it was Donald Trump.
Quote:In 2020, the United States government announced that it was considering banning the Chinese social media platform TikTok upon a request from then-president Donald Trump, who viewed the app as a national security threat.
