China sound not be operating in the US Under any circumstances They have no good intentions for our country
And it was the very US “journalists” that denied it
So?
I blame anyone using it. I kinda remember an orange man telling it was a spy app. They did not listen. You need laws to stop stupidity. Stop using it
I’m curious why the Chinese named it Tik Tok? Could it be that it is a ticking time bomb for America? 🧐
And how many PRIVATE CITIZENS? We don't care about journalist's because there aren't as many of them as there are private citizens!!! So the question is how many private citizens had their information compromised versus journalists?
CHINESE ANYTHING..........CAN NOT BE TRUSTED.......FOR OVER 70YRS. THE CHINESE PEOPLE ALLOW THE CCP TO EXPAND THEIR CONTROL AROUND THE WORLD W/O ANY INTERFERENCE TILL NOW BY THE CHINESE PEOPLE!!
both TICTOK &ByteDance are CCP platforms!!!
🧐
Terrible
Statistics, random facts, music, thoughts, crypto news, and NFTs.
(gasp!) WUT! The Chi Comms have no morals, and no ethics? Well, slap my fanny and call me Nancy! I am shocked
To be fair I care far more about the data they have on the rest of US citizens. I don't really give a crap about them being journalists. The fact the headline has to mention it is pretty damn cringe.
I'm sure it's just two
CliffWilkin Well. At least they admitted. Unlike some other agencies
Yup
Well! When Trump suggested have TikTok banned from America a few years ago, the leftist went crazy on him. This just proves that Trump was right.
I know, shock, right?
No kidding. They've done it before.
🇨🇦Why the hell do Canada’s favourite team, the Toronto Maple Leafs wear the 🇻🇳Tik Tok🇻🇳 label on their helmet?
The leader is General Chun Ki Chit
GamerHash is an ecosystem with native token GamerCoin (GHX).
I feel like I being betrayed by a trusted friend.
This is a surprise? The real people have known this from about the beginning. As soon as it was identified as a Communist China App.
So our journalists are exposed to the CCP? How deep does this go? Are our journalists being blackmailed to do the bidding of the CCP? That would explain a lot concerning these hyperglobalists…. And people wonder where “conspiracy theorists” get it from… the headlines!
Really? We stopped our family from using it long ago. A Great Man thought it might not be so good.
Not enough women left over there in CCP land to facilitate Xs 3 young men humping inanimate dead sexbots. Par for the course when you've forgotten Shang-Ti and turned faithless atheist Oblivionite Thanos deciple.. I'll marry a Sheng Nu
Trump wanted to get rid of TikTok while he was still in office
It’s almost as bad as a giant US surveillance platform controlled by liberals like Twitter and FB
Should be banned from the free world
big 'I told you so' moment.
You join tik Tok and they own you, they know everything about you your credit card numbers and your bank accounts. Wake up!
Big Deal, my hospital and doctors offices sells my personal data. I get annoying sales calls daily.
This government needs to act. Ban Tik Tok and get it over with.
Not like everybody’s been warned
Am I the only one who realizes this is a publicity stunt to make it seem like they are serious about protecting privacy? Trying to gain trust. It is a ploy. Complete BS. Feel bad for the people being used as a scapegoat.
So did employees of Twitter
So in other words, it's Twitter.
Only the NSA/FBI is allowed to do that!
when are we banning that shit app
China spies on us, they buy up our farmland…it goes on an on… China is a real threat! I don’t know wtf our government is doing!
It's not a revelation We know Chinese spy on everything whether it's intellectual property or political manipulation. They will steal anything they can get.
The federal bureau of insurrection spies on american social medis... what's the differenc
Never. Ever. Have that crap on your device.
Duh
Dems RINOs and their tools are traitors who are owned by ccp
You think?
What ever happened to the protests? Those burned alive locked in their apartments? The things we dont know need to come out.
TikTok is just the Republicans distracting you from what really matters like jobs or freedom of speech.
THEY DO THIS ACROSS THE BOARD, TikTok has little to do with it.
So does google so does Facebook so does YouTube
