Trump's TikTok ban is taking a page from China's playbook: Experts - Business Insider

to ban TikTok and WeChat from US app stores this week, some technology and government experts were reminded of the tactics of a different nation that heavily regulates its internet: China.

"Rather than establishing a model for the type of global internet that the United States would hope to see, we're actually replicating the exact types of behaviors that on a global scale we should be trying to combat," Lissner told Buisness Insider. However, Garber anticipates that people in the US could be forced to find backchannels to keep accessing TikTok, like using VPNs that make it look like they're viewing the app from a different country. Otherwise, users who already have the app downloaded will be able to keep using it but not receive updates.

on Friday that Trump's order "violates the First Amendment rights of the people of the United States."

BI arguing for China huh? Remember when you were all about 'business'?

'experts' 🤡🤡🤡

What a ridiculous thing to say! If that was the case, this headline wouldn't be online right now! Try posting something similar about China in China.. While the validity/justification of the TikTok ban sure can be debated, this comparison is so downright absurd.

Nice spin! Why don’t you say the same about Twitter’s manipulation of trending or Zuckerberg’s speech control?

Lol 'experts'

'Just like China' lool ... 'expert warn' loool

doubt it

well, i never felt you can have much freedom on the internet. FB/Twitter/YouTube never allows you to have any true freedom. So what's big deal to ban another censored (CCP infiltrated) social media platform? It can only give you more secure environment, less crap short videos!

wow isn't that exactly what a Chinese propagandist would say right now - Oh wait...

Na ban that weird a** app.

👀

Just like they warned us about Net Neutrality?
