I thought the point was to stop China from creeping on our youth by collecting personal data though tbh.

A lot of people seem to be doubting that. Im guessing because someone on tiktok told them its because prank bro

Apple were the ones that had the security breach, seems they should be the ones fined (not banned). Apple is also supposed to review the apps that get uploaded to their store which is why it is bs and slow to get something show up there.

TikTok is not the only app (or thing) that steals your info. Have you got fake calls or mail spams? Guess what, your bank/phone/ internet provider sold your info.

If Trump was really worried about your data he would have implemented something similar to the EU law that actually makes it illegal for anyone that even collect your data without your consent.

The reality is that TikTok happened to annoy Trump so it must be banned.

Even if it was banned over the data concern, this is still unconstitutional. Make a law banning what it does, you don't get to just ban the app directly.

I agree that Apple should be held accountable.

And no, trump doesnt want to put a stop to peoples data being stolen. He only cares about it in this case because it is China doing it. This is not for noble reasons. He is once again trying to shit on China, because thats what he does.

If you truly believe that trump is pissed off at tiktok users for screwing with his rally, show me the tweet where he calls them all a petty insult or something.

Honestly, I can believe that trump would be petty enough to ban an app that pissed him off.
What I cannot believe is that he wouldnt childishly insult them on Twitter.

Maybe such evidence exists, but until I see it the best explanation is that he is trying to piss on Chinas corn flakes.

Well, yeah. The data issues that have been cited didnt hit the mainstream media until a month after that rally. Did he start giving tiktok shit between mid-June and mid-July? If so, that evidence could sway me.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/abrambrown/2020/08/01/is-this-the-real-reason-why-trump-wants-to-ban-tiktok/

A little info on the timing of this. It was already banned by the military and some Republicans were concerned about it, but Trump and his people didnt say or do anything about it until a couple weeks after the failed Tulsa rally where the news credited TikTok users with faking him out.

Two issues though. How did what tiktok do effect turnout? How many fake rsvps did they produce? The rsvp system was a symbolic gesture and was probably used by loads of people who had no intention of going and support trump. The purpose was so trump could say Ive got 1.2 million rsvps! Best president ever!!
So yeah, Ill agree egg on the face when it turns out there were disingenuous ones, but how many? Have we ever seen that number?

Also, a couple weeks later was when the news started circulating about their sketchy data practices.

But the biggest give away is right in the article. Hes never mentioned tiktok in a tweet. Do you really think trump is capable of being pissed off at something and NOT tweet about it?

As ive said before, I dont think trump gives a shit about the data. He wants to take neumerous and repeated dumps on China.

One would need to explain how the tiktok prank would reduce Attendence, because Im not seeing it. All Im seeing is they gave him a big number to tweet. Maybe. Do we have any idea how many fakes they injected?

People used TikTok to mobilize other to submit fake names and addresses as people attending the rally as to inflate their internal numbers of expected attendants (which Trump constantly bragged about leading up to the rally), but none of them actually showed up and the rally was mostly empty. TikTok itself didnt do anything - people used TikTok to spread the word about what to do to fuck with Trump.

Yes, but the rsvp system was symbolic. It didnt hold a seat for you or anything. I suppose you could argue that some people didnt understand the symbolic nature of the system, and believed there would be a million people there. Perhaps even some of them would have gone if it had been only a few hundred thousand but decided not to go because there would be a million. Seems like a stretch.

I disagree. In my opinion if it wasnt for the extremely sketchy practices that China is performing through the app, the trump admin wouldnt have given it a second thought. I think youre underestimating his ego by magnitudes.

no, just no. you are making excuses for the Orange Man.

To be fair though... how many threads have there been on the Epic Games Launcher with the implication being, somebody should do something about this! Well, somebody did in TikToks case. It just happened to be the guy nobody likes.

Its like Error suspending Hoth. There are no heroes there, but were all probably better off that it was done.

this is odd

i read tik tok was going to start a partneship with oracle which is owned by a trump supporter
seems oracle was going to get access to the source code and host all the personal data from US

if this is only about privacy and personal data why ban it if a oracle will be the one hosting it and making sure the security code is safe?
