Re: TikTok soon to be banned from U.S.?
like it says, it'll be lifted if oracle gets the distribution rights
oracle seemed to have won their bid in the dumbassest way because they probably know people, and leaving the decision to trump seems to like, preempt a lot of antitrust eval that would otherwise go on

Re: TikTok soon to be banned from U.S.?
tiktok ban is fine
the wechat ban is a bit more of a problem, since wechat is also used by millions of chinese-american citizens to keep in touch with people at home. a better way to go about doing this, if you want to increase economic tension, would be to just filter out wechat transactions at the processor gateway level
in one breath, we should take more of a solid stance against china in general, everyone should, but in another breath this doesn't seem like the best way to do it by farComment

Re: TikTok soon to be banned from U.S.?
From what I've read on the internet, but cannot verify, this is only a ban from it being on app stores in the region. It's not preventing people from actually using it or making it a crime from using it. Because it's not in the app stores, it can't be updated unless the device is jailbroken or something.
This actually sounds like the beginning of a form of censorship though.Last edited by gold stinger; 09-18-2020, 11:42 AM.

Re: TikTok soon to be banned from U.S.?
ban reason is being based in China, and companies based in China are required to fork over data to the government if deemed necessary.
TikTok is a social media giant, but there are other options. Wechat is basically china's equivalent to Skype/Discord. It also functions as a payment option. Originally posted by YoshLComment

Re: TikTok soon to be banned from U.S.?
while i personally don't like tiktok (too much of a boomer for that shit) this is one hella bad move. mi40's right-- this isn't about us security. us and china have been going at it for a while
i hope tiktok is not actually banned.
edit: this move would adversely affect tiktok financially. the us doesn't supply the majority nor plurality of tiktok users but they generate a lot of revenue regardless. this is like kinda whatever but it's like annoying that the us is targeting a business due to foreign relations. tiktok has a us branch too. it's not like you're targeting just china through tiktok
also i play love nikki which is run by elex which is a chinese company. y'all BETTER NOT. played for TOO DAMN LONG for y'all to scream SECURITY on a DRESS UP GAMELast edited by Funnygurl555; 09-18-2020, 02:18 PM.Originally posted by MixMasterLarOriginally posted by the sun fan
