Even though, it's a move I love by the US and I believe its to protect their own Facebook, Instagram from stiff competition from TikTok. America government always try to protect their "own interest". Which is a good motive. But we don't want them to overdo it. Currently hardly any country in the world can survive without China.

nwirinedu:
Why not ban FB too, it is a platform far worse as it causes depression in our youth.

Akhaz024:

He is actually right, why should you say America to impose sanctions on western country because they choose to used tictok.
If US want to ban tictok let her ban it, why should it drag others along.

smokinloud:
Tiktok will never find salvation under Trump's presidency. Its promotion of Islamism and opposition to Western values are significant concerns. Interestingly, China has banned the app within its borders, citing similar worries about islamism and protectionism. China wants to use the app to tackle and undermine Western values in the US while preventing it in its own territory. I'd advise Trump to consider imposing sanctions on any Western nation that permits the tiktok app within its territory.

fastseo:

LegendHero:

idahme:

Great100000:
Chai!!! Bye Bye TikTok in USA

I hope Trump will solution to this.

TikTok is part of some people source of income in USA

It would have been better to ban it in Nigeria, along with other social media platforms, to help our children focus on their studies. Social media is having a detrimental effect on our youth. We may not always notice it, but when you take a closer look, you'll understand.

descarado:

The tiktok you use in usa is so different from the highly censored one used in china.
Trust me, all the nonsense we see on tiktok can never be acceptable in china.
Weibo is just like X and highly censored.
Infact, social media is highly censored in china.

Saniboss:
A lot of businesses to be affected

madridguy:
In a country where there is freedom and liberty The US government should stop behaving like a tyrant.

This is a case of revenge

cococandy:


TikTok is not a Chinese app. See who’s talking of ignorance. TikTok is even banned in China. It’s a Singaporean owned and run company. With an office in China.

danvon:
Saner climes

Tiktok would have been allowed on one condition, if they would make it an American company.

The whole noise is simply because they couldn't control it to do their bidding and turn it to another propaganda Twitter.

Nwaikpe:
The Chinese indirectly and subtly partnered with the abduls of Europe, making a mess of the western system.

The Chinese highly censored what TikTok could do in China but promoted a totally free one in America and Europe.

The result was simply the rise of crime, islam, terrorism, and antisimetism.

cococandy:


Oral diarrhea. Nothing upstairs in your brain

smokinloud:

The US holds significant influence over many Western countries and NATO members, largely due to its substantial financial contributions to NATO and its role as a primary provider of security. As a result, the US can exert pressure on these nations to align with its interests and discourage the promotion of anti-Western values.

Looking4Trouble:


So that you can all pick up arms and ammunition against Tinubu as you did when Buhari suspended Twitter

TheBillyonaire:
America has gone into the dark ages. What a mess of a country. So all those creators and businesses are now gonna lose their source of livelihood because their government can not stand being shamed by China's astronomical rise.

Chai, so many people will be rendered jobless cos that's where they make their money

maasoap:


Imagine, see your useless life! Creating accounts just to mock Muhammed of all the things you could have been doing on tiktok and people like you are also saying tiktok is doing more harm than good because it wouldn't let you propagate your hate. People reading your comments initially wouldn't understand that your comment was from the place of hate until now. Choosing to be a religion bigot, fanatic, enthusiastic is not a life

RosyIsBlessed:



Is this true? Can someone confirm if this is true..

Caseless:
They're funny to think they give freedom elsewhere but deny their people same freedoat home. Imagine if this was done by a dictator somewhere, what America would say.

Their people are aware of the reasonu this is being done and they'd find. way to bypass its ban. They should know that the lies they tell about china won't fly again and Israel would face the backlash for everything It's doing.

P1PrinceKT:
They (west) always want to control what people would say about their double standards. They were exposed since the beginning of Israel offensives in Gaza and Russian invasion of Ukrain.

Silentgroper:
facebooks pays nw ...


They should use fb

AirBere:


Facebook monetisation is peanuts. Zuckerberg is more interested in selling ads

Tiktok and YouTube pays way better. In fact, YouTube is the king.
