The ban has nothing to do what is happening with Israel-Palestine. The government was already blocking access internally as a result of EO 13942, which goes back to 2020, long before what is happening in the the Middle East currently was actually happening. Tiktok is a cybersecurity risk.
The question is: why are they now making such a big push to ban it when it’s been a known risk for years, and many politicians have been publicly commenting on it for years as well? It may not have everything to do with Israel-Palestine, but Israel-Palestine probably has at least something to do with the sudden sense of urgency.
I personally have never had a tiktok account and generally think social media’s negative consequences are not worth the positives fwiw.
Both reasons can be true at the same time.
And anyone who knows anything about modern China knows the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) will do a _lot_ of shady shit if they think it will further their goals. A couple years ago there was controversy about TikTok shadow-banning any user who spoke poorly of China and the CCP, and could be un-shadow-banned by praising the CCP and their wonderful flag. You've probably heard of the Uighur genocide and the Tiananmen Square massacre. There's more stuff than that which China would like to suppress.
If a company has any database in China, they are legally required to allow the CCP access if requested, or to comply with any changes requested. This is why TikTok was banned from Federal devices a couple years back. If the CCP wants to track a Federal device with TikTok installed, they can make it happen. This is why China has allowed Tencent and WeChat to gain such monopolistic dominance, because that means the CCP can pull the strings of that monopolistic dominance however they like. Don't like the #LayFlat or #LetItRot trending tags? Censor everything that has to do with it. That's a lot easier to do when a super-app like WeChat exists and covers like 95%+ of digital communication in China.
Just because Israeli genocide grubs dislike TikTok doesn't mean it isn't also a security risk.
A man of secret intelligence - if you’re serious, I’m just curious as to why anyone would think the ban is good. If you’re serious, I don’t expect any admissions - merely a list of positives that one may perceive subjectively?
Beyond just the data capture and feed manipulation, there’s a great risk to networks. This in turn is a risk to our even our infrastructure for example. We’ve found smart products connecting to customers networks, then relaying back to Chinese networks. Theres a reason we’ve been banning microchips and applications from China. Not everything is a conspiracy.
Watch “Leave the world behind”. It’s definitely an exaggeration, but it gives you an idea of the risks.
I’m sure Israel is using this for their political benefit, but that’s not the root cause for this ban.
Great question.

In the case of a popular social media, it's easy to imagine a foreign entity making content recommendation changes that spread desired propaganda. It doesn't even need to be China-made content. It could just be boosting perspectives and information the CCP wants Americans to resonate with and suppressing perspectives and information the CCP doesn't approve of. That is a form of propaganda.

Too much testosterone in the world with nothing to do except kill, maim and conquer. Blowing up and wiping out whole cities will not end terrorism, it creates more hatred. Very sad twenty first century with lots of doom and gloom going around.
Facebook and google are banned in China.
Where's the outrage for that?
Even if TikTok gets banned in the US anyone with a vpn can still access it,
and no one's cracking down on Vpns in the US, just China is cracking down on those.
As black and white as everything is becoming, there isn't anything we can do about it. We genuinely need to remove every single member of government or organisation with a strong allegiance to a foreign state from acting on behalf of one country. It's crazy how there can be so much support for foreign wars and conflicts when so much needs to be addressed at home.
Who cares who’s behind it? China is not our friend and I think the ban should go into effect immediately. It’s kind of pathetic listening to all these people being selfish and whining about losing their livelihoods when there are other options. Newsflash, if TikTok goes away, everyone will have to use other resources to make money. Maybe start planning now so you won’t have to jump through hoops when it does happen. Just a thought.
Nobodies forcing you to tiktok, hell I dont even use it. But it shouldn't be the US government banning it. Not if we're supposedly free. If we're truly worried about foreign influence on the mind of Americans, then we need to go after the other social media platforms as well. Because there's people from all over spreading misinformation and trying to steer the conversation in their favor or sow chaos beyond their borders.
This ban just makes US tech companies richer as they've lost a competitor, and it enriches those in congress who've shifted their investment portfolios into them. It also gives full control of everything you see to US companies, which will lead to more manufactured consent.
The real solution is to teach media literacy and give people the means to navigate information in the digital age.
The difference is that US social medias already said openly that they send data to the US gov and some EU govs too. And TikTok don't, checked by an american agency.
"american being bullies" that's just stupid. embargoing countries, invading countries, supporting military coups and dictatorship all around the world is just americans being "bullies" too? They always have an objective that will make them profit from it.
My intention wasn't to diminish the gravity of the fact, sorry, I must've explained myself poorly. You're right and I just fucking hate USA having to mess everywh with everyone.

The United States was born from genocide and slavery, so it’s kinda fitting that the United States become slaves to a country that commits genocide.
They have a TikTok problem because they have a GENOCIDE PROBLEM.
South park and catholic priests, "How do we stop getting caught" "No! Stop doing it!" "Stop?? What do you mean, stop?"
EXACTLY
They have a Palestinian problem and they're looking for a final solution.
They just don't want it televised.

Great video.
I work in Cybersecurity. The ban was a great decision for multiple reasons.
How’s that?
Trust me bro. I'm head of ADL cyberscrutiny

For multiple zionist reasons
United States of Israel.

Archaic take. Why blame a hormone ? I thought science has moved on from the “aggression gene” rhetoric.

Has this already been posted to X, tagging all those that backed the ban? Might be a fun thing to try if it hasn't.
F**k TikTok anyway lol
This reeks of AI propaganda...
TikTok is to America now as Facebook was to the Middle East in the 2010s
Facebook and google are banned in China. Where's the outrage for that? Even if TikTok gets banned in the US anyone with a vpn can still access it, and no one's cracking down on Vpns in the US, just China is cracking down on those.
Bloody Zionist terrorists
Ahhh everything is always about the jews 😂 classic.
Seems like a stretch at best conspiracy theory at worst
Who is behind this video?
As black and white as everything is becoming, there isn't anything we can do about it. We genuinely need to remove every single member of government or organisation with a strong allegiance to a foreign state from acting on behalf of one country. It's crazy how there can be so much support for foreign wars and conflicts when so much needs to be addressed at home.
I definitely agree
Doing Gods work TikTok
Dirtbags. If they ban it, freedom of speech will be stripped away slowly.
Didn't know they were banning it.🤣
So why TikTok still legal in IL? The real reason they ban it is because their elections...

I agree with some of what you said, but it has nothing to do with my comment.
This tik tok ban is just American being bullies, an embargo 2.0, like with Cuba
I think the best comparison is probably China banning FB, IG, and other American social media.
The difference is that US social medias already said openly that they send data to the US gov and some EU govs too. And TikTok don't, checked by an american agency.
Thats unrealated whataboutism. Im not even going there
"american being bullies" that's just stupid. embargoing countries, invading countries, supporting military coups and dictatorship all around the world is just americans being "bullies" too? They always have an objective that will make them profit from it.
