Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a bill banning TikTok in Montana, making it the first state to ban the app in the U.S.

The Republican governor signed legislation into law Wednesday, saying the ban is aimed at protecting citizens from foreign influence since TikTok is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance.


LETS GOOOO
 
I don't think many people realize many apps can access all of your phones and computers. That's camera,microphone, texts,contacts,messages,calls,browser,location, etc.

TIkTok just happens to be a Communist China app. There's no independence of companies from state control in that country.

They also use it to manipulate users in other countries for them to see what they want you to see.

It's similar to what media companies do here. They censor and mine your data. Most of it is to sell you ****. Your phone is always listening to you and depending on what app you may have could turn the camera on anytime without you knowing it.

We're in definitely some strange days with everyone being in surveillance constantly. The AI that's being developed will really expand that. Which I'm sure the secret AI is already here. Which can be good and very bad in totalitarian hands.

The truth. Tick tick shoukd be banned. You do not see China or Russia allowing spyware in a public forum! As soon as Biden is no longer president this must be done.
 
TikTok gonna lead to a lot of FAFOs

 
An alternate viewpoint...

"Here are three reasons why letting the federal government prohibit TikTok is an idiotic idea...."

First Amendment rights vs. national security. Didn't freedom-lovers already fight this fight (Patriot Act)? I don't use Tik Tok (it's a bunch of idiots posting idiotic things for other idiots to watch and garner idiotic likes from those same idiots... that's just my opinion). If it were to just go away, I wouldn't care. But the moment you cede more of your 1A rights, the closer we inch towards full-on Statist control.

I had to search the internet for "FAFO".

Them young fellas would certainly find out if they did that at my home, courtesy of my Mossberg Maverick 88. (But then again, what idiot leaves their front door wide open like that? With little kids in the house?)

It's free speech. Don't censor free speech. You don't have to download it. Those that use it do it willingly. Suckers.
 
I hate tik tok, but i don't think it should be banned as it goes against the constitution. I just can't believe how stupid some people are on there with the "challenges " and what not

The thing is, Tic-Tok, like Toyko Rose, Axis Sally, Bagdad Bob and Jane Fonda, is a form of propaganda, used by a foreign entity to mine information and influence, people are just too naive to see it.

It may be no worse than FB, but at least they have some oversight.

You forgot to add White House Press Secretary to the list.
