@beatnikprof Twitter isn't owned by the CCP which is the main reason for banning Tiktok. The whole "tiktok spies on you" is just an excuse to ban tiktok whether or not it's true. This isn't a first for both countries. The CCP has banned most, if not all, American social media platforms I clouding YouTube in their country. This is mostly just the US doing the same. In 2020 the US banned Huawei, Chinese tech company, from working with companies in the US after they surpassed both Google and Apple in smartphones sales. Just trying to make thing clearer for people that are new to the bans wars that have been happening between China and the US for years now.

@amandacsb2 @mainsac Did she ban me? 😭 I was just making things clearer.

@bazkie Honestly this one is sure to stir up alot of push back. Lots of content creators and their fans are gonna be upset about this, not to mention, people from the LGBTQ community that grew alot with the aid of Tiktok. I'm just as curious as you in terms of where this goes and how people would react.

@amandacsb2 @mainsac US citizens. This topic is literally in relation to the US.

@bazkie In my opinion pretty much. While the argument of whether or not the CCP is stealing and using US citizens data is true, it seems that its more of an excuse to "have" for American citizens. This isn't the first incident of ban wars between China and the US, its just the more popular one because it's Tiktok. (Look into the Huawei ban).

@amandacsb2 @mainsac??

@bazkie It's not a race problem. It's a government problem. I don't know if you know but China has banned Facebook, Google, Insta and most if not all American social media platforms in their country. This commotion with Tiktok is just the US doing the same thing. The US isn't against the Chinese people it's against the Chinese government.

@amandacsb2 @mainsac Saying anyone with a smartphone is giving a "pass" for tiktok to use data is quite naive when the majority of the users base is under 18.

@Miriamm Not that I'm against this but did anyone even fact this?
