A proposal to ban TikTok in the United States “should be looked at,” according to US Senator Chuck Schumer.

“We do know there’s Chinese ownership of the company that owns TikTok. And there are some people in the Commerce Committee that are looking into that right now,” Schumer, the Senate majority leader, told George Stephanopoulos of ABC News in a Sunday interview. “We’ll see where they come out.

Those worries have prompted the US government to ban TikTok from official devices, and more than half of US states have taken similar measures, according to a CNN analysis. TikTok has previously pushed back on the claims, saying it doesn’t share information with the Chinese government, and that a US-based security team decides who can access US user data from China. The company did not immediately respond to a new request for comment on Monday morning Asia time.

Yes China is not our friend.

ban TikTok in the United States - Donald Trump 'He's crazy!!!' ban TikTok in the United States - Schumer 'Oh, let's take a closer look'.

It should be banned… it’s Chinese spyware.

Isn’t it funny how TikTok is our ONE source of news that is 100% raw and unable to be manipulated by the Gov yet they want to get rid of it

THIS is ridiculous! America a democracy?!

Tick-tock definitely adds a lot to our mental health crisis amongst young people. U can’t deny that All the sh*t they are exposed 2doesn’t help our kids,it hurts them. Besides that,china uses tick tock for educational purposes,the rest of the world4 dumbed down entertainment

Wish they’d ban it all over the world.

Ban TikTok PLEASE

Yes, do it. We already have YouTube and the internet; we don’t need a communist Chinese platform in this country, after they were monitoring us.

Fully agree.

The year is 2024. Tik Tok has been banned nationwide by the federal government.

Tiktok would be ok if it was an American company running it.

every dollar sent to china is another gun pointed at us.

How about reporting actual news? 🤔 what's going on in Ohio? What's with the balloons? OH wait... that's right. All these big news organizations just push an agenda for the party they like. And yes I'm talking to you too FoxNews

The fact the Chinese don't let there children watch it, but flaunt it in front of every American child's face should tell you all you need to know.

Why? So we can stop exposing the truth, facts. Why? So we can stop exposing Tyrants, racism, fascism, misogyny, bigotry? Why? So the media continues to control the information we see?

The government want it ban because they have no say in it and they can pull your information as they was.

Now CNN backs it because a Democrat supports it? You suck CNN.

Looked at? How long does it take to recognize it for what it is and ban it? Chuck still looking for his glasses? How much are the Chinese paying you to drag your ass? This is like the first balloon all over again… TooDamnOld

Free Tibet tiktok Tim Cook....snap

They don’t like that actual news without lie’s are being reported. Especially about that train derailment

Ban it!

Here’s an idea, how about we ban stealing peoples data so it can be sold to those exact people in China. Oh but that interferes with your plan to spy on us and exploit our personal data for a profit 🤡🤡🤡🤡

這早就應該被禁止

good news for something besides twitter

All about Freedom of Speech until they don’t like the speech

Proposal to ban CNN should be looked at too

Chuck makes sense, rare but good.

Ban facebook and Instagram also

It's about controlling the information you receive, and that's it. Only your Billionaire Oligarch masters information is approved.

Boomer catches up to what people have been talking about for 2 years.

More from the party of small government. Now they wanna say what you can and can't have on your phone. Next comes banning all but 'government approved' media
