It's a Chinese psyop!

Facebook and Google apps gather way more information that the tiktok app.
Also, this is censorship!

Good, fuck China.

While he's at it, why not take Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit off the internet too and put Google out of business? We'll use Minds, Gab, Bitchute and DuckDuckGo instead.

Why was it banned in india?

Facebook and Google are also banned in China.
They are just doing this PR shitstorm in order to force ByteDance to sell it to a US-based company like Microsoft.

I am not a fan of China (not necessarily the people, moreso their government practices), but I don't really agree with incessant bans.

I feel like agreeing with a ban based on something like pubg 'because people are addicted and are exhibiting poor behaviour around these games' is a poor reason. The problem isn't the game, it's a person's self-discipline and self-restraint. That speaks to a deeper problem that's not going to be resolved by banning a piece of entertainment. Especially considering there will always be something else to replace it. Fix the root of the problem, not the symptoms.

Putting that aside, I would like to be able to understand what Trump/ the USAs government are looking to achieve with these bans? What's the long-term goal? What are they expecting to happen and how likely is that outcome? These questions aren't a criticism - I legitimately don't know. If anyone has any insight, I'd really appreciate it.

It's nothing a VPN can't fix within a matter of a few minutes.

Are you aware of the fact that all internet service providers in China require an ICP license issued by the government?
Also, VPN is not something normies (90% of people) use.

Yes I am.

Well, perhaps they should start using one. It's not computational science- a couple of minutes to Install and connect.

ExpressVPN, NordVPN and Surfshark, are just a few that still work In China at the time of this post.
