The Biden administration has threatened to ban TikTok from the United States unless the app’s Chinese owners agree to spin off their share of the social media platform, TikTok acknowledged

Wednesday evening. The apparent ultimatum by a US multiagency panel known as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States marks a possible turning point in the long-running negotiations between federal officials concerned about TikTok’s links to China and a wildly popular social media company with more than 100 million US users.

The talks with TikTok have stretched on without resolution, prompting criticism of the Biden administration by some US lawmakers who have pushed to ban the app through legislation. Late last year, Congress passed, and President Joe Biden signed, legislation blocking TikTok from US government devices, following in the footsteps of numerous state governments. Since then, the European Union and Canada have also followed suit, reflecting growing suspicion among western governments to TikTok.

Force technology transfer

I would like to see the ppl at Rumble start their own version of TikTok With no censorship

I suggested a plan to elonmusk He probably didn’t see it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Isn't that what Russia did with websites critical of its govt.?

Nope. Ban that shit. Someone here can clone it like China clones everything we have. It'll be good medicine for them.

Because it is enemy propaganda? In a supposedly free country we should be able to decide what is propaganda ourselves.

Trump was racist when he tried that, right?

Biden is really following trump's orders

Ban it

Almost half the products in America are from China. So what's the gripe about Tik Tok? Just because it's successful, I think. Name an app that doesn't collect information on the user.

China will ask GM and others to do the same. Within a few years the chinese versions will be bigger than the 'american' ones.

我認識推特1個多月。TikTok從來沒碰過。

Trump administration tried to ban TikTok for the same reasons but the ever biased MSM made it look like he was making a big mistake.

USA is no more a market economy but political one.

Give me your money, because I advocate free trade, free market, freedom of speech and democeacy🤑

TikTok faces US ultimatum: sell your Chinese stake or say goodbye. How will the viral video app survive this challenge? 📱🇺🇸🇨🇳 TikTok

Isn't this naked extortion?

Following in the previous President's steps.

Someone in the US should develop an app like tik tok and ban tik tok for good.

“threatened”? Is it appropriate to use this word?

So you're saying President Trump was right again!

We can sleep soundly knowing U.S. is protecting us from the evil Chinese-owned app that lets us share dance videos with friends. Meanwhile, the real threats to our society - poverty, inequality, climate change but hey, at least no foreign influence on our social media addiction.

free world, what a joke!

Chinese law prohibits the sale of tiktok to foreign countries🤔🤔🤔👍👍👍👍

Ban it. So your teens would just use vpn to access China's network. 中国禁推特也阻止不了人上推啊。

'We lied, we cheated, we stole.' If that doesn't work, we rob.

TikTok hires firm with close Biden ties as Chinese company ramps up lobbyingTikTok has hired a consulting firm with close ties to President Joe Biden’s White House as the Chinese government-linked company has ramped up its lobbying efforts amid largely Republican-led efforts to ban the social media app. To many corrupt politicians and greedy lobbyists on CCP payroll This is exactly what happens when you politicize commerce. This was entirely predictable as soon as Republicans started attacking the app. ChinaOWNSJoe
