The application will be removed from official app stores - google play and apple.

People that still have it can still use it, but it won't be updated and sooner or later will be obsolete since it won't work with updated android or apple software. I guess one can still update it from non-official sources along with the risk of viruses, etc.

The media doesn't seem to desire to report the big difference in how the "tool" is being used. Upon closer examination one could classify it (the version China "exports" to USA) as warfare.

There are absolutely no other alternatives to posting videos online?


That said, I'm with other posters on questioning how do you go about implementing this ban?

This shouldn't surprise anyone nor the fact that China is in a very big and heinous competition with the US.
US is the current main super power and some speculate the next one to be China and as a natural part of this hypothesis that suggest the position to typically last around 250 years with a 20-30 year transition period, and based on that hypothesis, US reign is speculated to come to an end in the next 5-15 years, the upcoming candidate for the position (China) is doing exactly what was expected of them.
There is no doubt there is a very big somewhat subtle economy based war happening.

There is a 2012 movie called Looper. Not sure who'd seen it but in the movie there is a part where the main young lead learning French because he wants to live in France during his retirement where his older self that came from the future strongly urges him to move to China instead. Not sure if any caught the message behind that but well...

On a more factual note, it is well known amongst educated shoppers and travelers that China has 2 production quality; one for domestic consumption which is better, and the other, inferior ones used strictly for export, mainly to US.

That is why Chinese tourists do NOT buy Made in China stuff outside China. Why would they when they could buy the better and cheaper version back home?

Hopefully. Tik Tok and all forms of social media have been a death blow to our society.

I suspect there will be other sites that eventually get the boot - Temu and Alibaba. We are going to war via internet, the country just hasn't recognized it's coming.

City-Data is a form of social media. Should that go too?

There are several potential buyers (including O’Leary and Mnuchin) who have expressed interest in acquiring and operating TikTok inside the U.S.

The question is whether or not the owner is willing to sell such a hot property.

It would be interesting to see what the potential price tag would be.

Allegedly, ByteDance is internally exploring it (sans TikTok’s algorithm).

Yeah, as such, it would be a fraction of its $100B valuation.
