+100 it should be banned. Anyone with common sense would understand the need to ban it.
Can you share the grounds for which you would ban this specific company versus regulations that apply industry wide?

The Chinese still remember the Opium Wars. This is what payback for that looks like. Doesn’t matter if America wasn’t really involved back then, one group of western white people is as good as another as far as they’re concerned.
Adjust the frequency on your tinfoil hat. TikTok is as all-American as capitalism. We taught China that.
Tell us all you don’t understand the Chinese mindset without telling us.
China is 5,000 years old. Holding a grudge for 150 years for them is like you being mad about something that happened to you five minutes earlier.

I’d love to see it banned but I agree that there should be greater controls on what happens with American companies too. Especially for accounts for or even just photos of kids.

Trump seems to think it helped his campaign so he may oppose a ban.
In a press conference on Monday, Trump said his administration would "take a look at TikTok". "I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok, because I won youth by 34 points," he said. "There are those that say that TikTok has something to do with that. TikTok had an impact." A majority of 18 to 29-year-olds backed Trump's Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, in November, but the vote did see a significant swing towards Trump among young voters since the 2020 election. Trump only joined TikTok in June, but gained millions of followers on the platform over the course of the campaign.

I don’t think American companies are any more trustworthy with my data than foreign, and I think x and twitter demonstrate the damage any of them can do.
You think it's just as easy to arrange a Luigi with a Chinese CEO?

The Chinese company ByteDance owns two versions of basically the same app. In the U.S. there is TikTok, used by an estimated 170 million people. Meanwhile, Douyin, the app used in China itself, has an estimated 700 million daily active users.
Why two apps? Because there is no way in hell China wants its citizens using TikTok. They want control over content. If you are under 14 in China you can only see educational videos or videos that are G rated and have some learning value. You have to register with your real name and ID information so China can track who is under age.
Makes no sense. TikTol operates under American laws, and Bytesance operates under Chinese law.
It's not China's fault that decadent Americans allow and appreciate TikTok content (and Reddit, and Pornhub, and all the rest).

Does not matter. The question is who has funneled more money to the “conservative” justices. That is how cases are now decided.
