I find it difficult to find any reliable information about this, mostly because I think the news lies (especially about this), and then the tiktok community can definitely take things to far.
If any body knows...
Where are we? what is going on?
How do you feel about it?

China is basically pulling everyone's information from the app masked.
I work in Special Operations, TikTok has already been banned on government devices. Congress's way out here is for them to sell the app, but the Chinese investors obviously don't want to do that.
Several countries have already taken measures to ban the app. The mainstream narrative concern is that the app is used for misinformation and inciting violence when riots happen etc.click to expand

The issue is that the Chinese are doing it. Meanwhile it's always an "accident" when it happens in America.
I agree that there's forever a breach at T-Mobile, AT&T etc and there is never anything done about it.click to expand

Racism toward China? Let's not forget there was absolute bull plop stories about spy hot air balloons this year. Never forget the government in all Western countries crippled the economy of its people by shipping factories abroad; Cat boots are made in Vietnam as are lower priced Docs, most textiles are made in India or its subcontinents, just about everything plastic or technological is Chinese made. Ignore the TikTok bollox and let's focus on who the real villains are.

Posted by BullofHeavenPosted by AstrobynPosted by AbbyNormalI don't really think that. For me I see it as a pretty open community to bring people together and share ideas. Because of access it can connects people and ideas in ways that really haven't been experienced on this level.
Fuck TikTok, let the idiots have it š
It is my opinion, all other large forms of media in this country manipulate and control the narrative, to manipulate and control the population.
Its in the Washington post Facebook has been lobbying to get tiktok banned
"Facebook parent company Meta is paying one of the biggest Republican consulting firms in the country to orchestrate a nationwide campaign seeking to turn the public against TikTok"

You're right, most big SM platforms in the U.S. are nothing more than propaganda machines. There's plenty of evidence showing the government creating a narrative, then forcing these companies to spread it.
But, China owns TIK Tok just by the very essence in which China does its Commerce as a Communist country. We've known for years China is spying and using the data it collects against us. It's like volunteering for espionage by China. It was supposed to be sold during the Trump administration, and everyone cried. Now Biden wants it sold. That's all anyone is asking - for a company (preferably American) to buy it and for it to cut ties with Communist China. It can still exist. Bill Gates was going to buy it at 1 time. Look into China's WeChat and how that mess runs, and China's involvement and oversight into all Chinese tech.
Chinese hackers steel billions of dollars from the U.S. every year. They stole 20Million in just Covid relief money alone. AND THEY CAUSED THE SHIT! The more users use Chinese SM, the more opportunities they have to screw everyone over.

TBH sure as fuck don't want Gates to buy it, and I honestly don't trust any other US Company at this point.
This is the largest free'est platform in the US right now, have you seen the twitter files? I understand there is a risk of giving the power of manipulation to and adversarial country. But I honestly don't think that is the concern, the biggest threat is to our goverment/corporations is giving America this kind of freedom to assemble and share when the tactic as been to divide and conquer. Its not so much attacking America but attacking the American Regime and that is the biggest threat imo.

I hadn't really thought about it that way, but you may be right - the whole "enemy of my enemy is my friend" philosophy. You're right, the state run media in America has became so exposed during the Twitter files. So much that didn't make sense before suddenly came into perspective. So much meddling, corruption, and all out lies by the government has been brought to light. It makes perfect sense that Tik Tok would more condusive to free speech, and also be a target of the regime. IDK, I just wish it wasn't Chinese, man. Any other country including Russia, but not China. I personally believe the next WW will be in large part between China and the U.S.click to expand

It will never be banned to the public. There is no possible way the government could truly ban an app so widely used. They can however make it illegal for government officials, and those in any place of power to use the app. Which they 100% should. That is the only real threat of the app. The fact it can spy is known, so any type of government officials using it is a real problem. The general population using it means absolutely nothing.
