    The way .ml cries everyday about TikTok being banned you’d think it was an actual real life crises for all of you.

    Multiple counties have already banned the app (as well as other ccp government apps) years before the US started trying to. Where was all the out cry then?

        Yeah that’s true, while it’s being debated in a lot of places the only current bans I can find any news on are for government officials and employees. Now that I think about it, doesn’t that make Biden’s TikTok illegal?

          “You can’t use this at work” and “You can’t use this ever” are very different things.

            That’s correct. Not every country on that list limits the ban to just govt employees.

            How many apps has China flat out banned? Movies? The actual Internet?

                Hardly. Banning one app for security is nowhere near as bad as blocking most of the entire world because you don’t want your citizens to see it.

          This is a bit dishonest. Only Afghanistan and India have banned TikTok from citizens and neither of them are western countires. In every other country you listed it’s just about government devices.

          Most governments even semi big companies don’t allow whatsapp or other meta products on their hardware, is that precedent enough to ban meta too? Very few apps comply with the GDPR requirements needed on company/government hardware.

          Look, I despise Tiktok too, but most arguments on here are just “muh China bad” or “look at these other people doing something”
