I hate communists but to be fair to China ... isn't the USA  doing the same thing via Google,Facebook etc ... ?

Apps should not be banned they should put just a note "hey if you use this app you risk being monitored by the gov of China,Usa etc"

It's bad for the economy ...

The web has become very very regulated ... ( In a few years decentralized web will change the internet ... and things will be back to normal when govs couldn't ban anything)

Th U.S can own nuclear weapons but would intervene when some other country tries to create one especially when they are not on cordial terms with such nation. There is political tension between both the U.S and China and as such they would not want their citizens to be monitored by them. It is also a means of hurting the growth of such apps, they've already lost a huge market in India.

Apps should not be banned they should put just a note "hey if you use this app you risk being monitored by the gov of China,Usa etc"

Where would such a note be put? On the app or the store where it's downloaded from? Even if it was possible to send out such a warning, it would have very little effect, most people are not aware of how valuable their data is and would not mind it being snooped on.

Anything on the Internet is susceptible to hacking. Should this forum have a statement "product of the US and amazon - only as secure as they and smf are"?

Last I checked China was capitalist and even more corrupt than the US... Banning a website is something China does, do you not remember the great firewall of China being mentioned - looks like trumps got a crush...

Well, there are warnings like that when you install it but as @Upgrade00 says it, they don't care since they doesn't know how valuable that information. They doesn't care that there are people are even dance in front of their cameras nude. Even though it is reported that TikTok is being used by China to snoop some information, it didn't stop.

Nothing is private this days ... privacy is dead  ...

Well, some users of bitcoin and other information regarding them is still private.

Not really if you move the btc they can find you easy if they want to ...

All you have to do is buy something with btc or exchange it to fiat ( does not matter if you use someone else bank account etc ... )

Juggy777 has already made a thread about this ban by Trump for the Tiktok app on the Politics & Society.

Trump has declared that he’ll ban Tiktok over privacy concerns!!!

[Harlot]

Look if they have proven that the app of Tik Tok is spying on their users I think they have the right to ban it because first of all it is violating the privacy of its citizens and it is one of their first rights being a citizen, if the government doesn't act properly then they are basically not interested in protecting their rights. This is really not about the protection of their economy or the internet being regulated but the protection of their rights. And also I'm still wondering why these app stores like Apple and Google are still keeping Tik Tok available for download even if they have proven it spying to their users.

[Police Indo]

it is Trump's strategy to be trusted by the public that he is a type of nationalist person, on the pretext that tik-tok can steal user data so Trump is now banning China from trading and influencing US society from the influence of tiktok, of course this happens because there is trade war between America and China. but indeed Trump is a very nationalist person.

The ban was a justifiable action and I think that it is a good thing that he did that, the evidences that TikTok is taking sensitive data without the consent of the individual is very alarming. The fact that there is a tension between these two countries makes this a serious matter.

That is the most decent move that they can do, if the app does not properly and explicitly displays that they are taking data of individual users means that they are breaching the privacy, the case is similar to Facebook and other social media platforms but they atleast have the decency of making sure that the user is aware that they are collecting their data.

Sometimes I think that the web should be even more regulated,because Google,Amazon and all the other tech giants are using their monopoly to destroy the competition AND they are tracking us all the time.
I don't think that Trump will ban TikTok,he just wants to move the attention away from him and blame China for everything.This is just smoke and mirrors.First it was Huawei and now TikTok.Maybe after 2 months,he will find another Chinese company to blame for something,maybe Alibaba or ZTE.

He is really defending its people's privacy and security. We all know that US and China do really have a lot of conflict especially in the economy.

China is all about domination, he is all about being a businesses-minded country, and they want to dominate even the market and economy. This simple banning of Tiktok app in the US can really help the economy of China somehow go down. US is a big country and there are a lot of tiktok users in their country so probably it will cause a huge impact in China.

This is a good approach of Trump to affect the economy of China, war is not only about using massive destruction, it is also the economy, a country should need to attack and prioritize.

If you are talking about privacy, it is really hard to protect it especially if you are not aware about the apps that you are using.

You should inspect and check the security of an app before downloading and using it with your own personal information and details.

This economic war between US and China will surely create a big impact to its community as people are relying in the use of social media apps in their everyday lives.

Most of the people are getting entertained with using this Tiktok app, this is also their tool to showcase their talents in the social media without even knowing that their privacy is already unsafe.

We all know that internet is really powerful especially to those youth who are ignorant about the hazards of social media platforms. Be careful on accessing other apps not only tiktok, not only in China, but you should always check the legitimacy and security of an app before using it.

[DoubleEdgeEX]

And before that really happens, Microsoft will buy the US version of it and collect your data this way.  https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/02/tech/microsoft-tiktok/index.html 

If something makes that much money, nobody with a sense for businesses will let the chance to make even more go to waste

[Sanitough]

What can you expect, China and USA are not in good terms, anything that china produce and they will get a market in the USA, I think USA would think of banning that as they want to market their product, I think there are also online apps created from US that are ban in china, so it's alright, that's how these two are treating each other.

I like TiktTok personally, not that I am uploading videos on it but i just want to follow beautiful women, lol..

So this means no american beauty in TikTok anymore.

After the incident of closing consulates between the United States and China, Trump Sounding will be banned from ticking. Although American awareness is a bit too late because China has protected the country from the influence of foreign-owned applications that are popular and have their own application versions. I think Trump needs a lot of news diversion options for the poor handling of covid in America. The escalation of conflict between the United States and China has intensified, raising fears of an eruption between the two countries. But this is far from happening as long as the covid outbreak did not get worse and the results of the poll said support for Trump increased.

[Negotiation]

Trump thinks the app is a threat to us national security CCP has a direct connection with this app so action will be taken against the app there are countless such companies in the united states but they may have provided information to the chinese government behind the scenes. The data that is being provided includes facial recognition address phone number and contact address so we are going to solve this issue this only applies to defend their rights.

These three lines describe the situation quite precisely.
I don't think thats the right decision of Trump and neither I think a lot of people will be happy to vote for him after such dumb regulation
And of course this will affect the economy in a negative way, for US at least

Trump is preparing to ban TikTok

Maybe he didn't like the videos like this: https://twitter.com/BlakePavey/status/1288818865846120449   

On the serious side, Trump is getting annoyed by this and that and he just thinks he will ban and everything will be OK.
TikTok (Chinese surveillance) is just a response to Facebook (American surveillance). So why just don't ban both?

All the news tell that Microsoft (yet another American surveillance giant) wants to buy at least the US operations of TikTok. Will Trump also ban Microsoft? Or he's just trying to help lower the price?

And also I'm still wondering why people are siding with a spyware app even if it is proven doing it, I guess still a lot of clout chasers will be affected in the US if the app was totally banned. But judging from the news I have been seeing there might be a chance that Tik Tok might not be banned in the US at all since their owner is interested in selling the US "portion" of their app/content to a foreign owner and Microsoft is the one strongly pursuing its acquisition, I think in this way both sides will have a win-win scenario removing any kind of doubt that the app will be spying in their citizens again.
