The video sharing app faces being banned in the US unless it severs ties with its China's ByteDance.

    If we could have it banned in Europe or just Germany I would be happy for my people.

      Where do we start and where do we stop with that kind of stuff?

      If we ban TikTok we also would need to ban a lot of Social media platforms from the US for the same reason.

      Edit: I don’t live in the United States.

          Then force them to add a disclaimer of that whilst signing up. That simple.

          And the US is everyone’s friend that would never use big tech to spy on people or spread propaganda in foreign countries.

      I dislike it. But no. Don’t be authorjtarian like China. Bann it on phones of those with security clearances, but that’s all.
