Biden is leaving US TikTok ban for Trump to decide

TikTok is supposed to find new, non-Chinese owners by tomorrow and the US Supreme Court upheld the ban on Friday.

But will the darkness descend?

Because the outgoing Biden Administration says it won't enforce the ban.

Donald Trump, President again from Monday, says he needs more time to decide what to do.

Both facebook and twitter lobbied for this with significant amounts of money. This is about who controls the information

[heypistolero]

I hate tiktok, but this is just about government and big tech control

The fact there’s grown women crying because of an apps getting deleted is fucking embarrassing. These people probably have fb, x instagram, Snapchat etc . Get a grip I don’t have any of that and I’m so happy

Don't think we forgot about Cambridge Analytica...

[Joey-ctbm]

Snowden is on the ground laughing. Forget the apps, America can get to every smartphone, Laptop or anything with a mic or camera.

So if Google does it it's okay because the US government gets to use that information

I spoke to a friend in private messages about proposing to my girlfriend. The next 5 or 6 adverts on Facebook were for engagement rings, having never seen one before. If that isn't an abuse of privacy I don't know is. Can Facebook go next please!!

Social media needs to be totally destroyed

[stequality]

Everyone should get rid of social media and learn to speak to people in real life ?

[dudettex]

The amount of people in these comments not getting that youtube is also social media is beyond me 😂

[chrischris]

Every country should ban that garbage app.

[geep]

Disappointed that no news sources are explicitly stating that the ban was President Trump’s idea while in office in 2020. The platform has grown and the affects of creators’ livelihood will be greater than we can see.

WHAT DO THINK ABOUT FACEBOOK? I think is worse than TikTok

[MrTechnomantra]

Ban Facebook, instagram and TikTok and bring kids back to books

[dannydarko]

Tictok and the like is rotting the brains of our kids and young people with absolute garbage - let’s get it out of the UK too!

[shukriyusuf]

Let the people decide, the government needs to mind its own business!

[marketingbyshelby]

Thanks for including me in this interview! It's had a big impact for so many authors and I am grateful for the community I built there while I could. On to other platforms! :)

[jstsayn]

And no Americans are capable of developing a similar app??

[NYCAiress]

Never got into this app, but the danger for children with these "challenges", & how many young adults have wound up dead that post on Tik-Tok! Ban it now!

[Fgibbs]

It’s the reason the majority of people are inept.
