#America is currently stealing #Syrian oil, trying to steal #Russian assets, and now they want to steal #Tiktok, the most successful social app ever, to get their hands on the #Algorithms. #TikTok will not sold under any condition. Sad, but it is better to lose 150 million users

That mostly involves stealing oil and gas reserves, but America's military will steal anything they can get their hands on
I have zero interest in TikTok, so it baffles me why every social media app seems hellbent on forcing their users to make TikTok style videos to please their shitty algorithms.
If someone is trying to steal the car, so much the better. Please, steal it. Get it outta here
Just curious if any of the Live Journal users who deleted their LJ after it was sold to a Russian company also refuse to use TikTok or not.

What is likely to happen is TikTok will not be banned, but *sold* to a US company and will continue to operate, but just not under Chinese ownership.
While the news has been met with fury from American creators on the app, users around the world have come out in strong support of the controversial ban in hopes of finally having a social media platform that is free from American users.

no it's complete nonsense; the math cannot possibly pencil out. the amount of money they would lose on "trying" to get people caught shoplifting would dwarf any revenue from fines. it is trivially easy to steal most things from these stores and not get caught.
especially when it has taken extraordinary risks in an attempt to steal (from, e.g., LinkedIn) social graph data which TikTok gives it for free -- even on users who do not have TikTok.

President Biden has signed a law that would ban TikTok in the U.S. unless it is sold within a year.
The law is not expected to cause any immediate disruption to TikTok, as a forthcoming legal challenge, and various hurdles to selling the app, will most likely cause months of delay.
President Biden signs law to ban TikTok nationwide unless it is sold
The measure was included in a foreign aid package providing support to Ukraine and Israel. TikTok has vowed to challenge the law in federal court.

That, and the aim is to steal the oil offshore that belongs to Palestine.

TikTok executives should sell TikTok. If they insist not to sell TikTok and lose the US market, TikTok will no longer be a global mainstream social media. TikTok will only become further and further away from the global mainstream social media.
What I want to know is why tiktok users have to get their news from plankton

What would actually happen with a TikTok ban?
New users will be unable to download the app, and current users will lose access to any updates. While some could find workarounds — including offline app installations or VPNs — for most Americans, the app will eventually become inoperable.

Some clarity I’ve not seen mentioned elsewhere:
The “TikTok bill” is **not** to “ban TikTok”.
It is to force the US corp operating TikTok to be sold, because its current ownership is effectively the CCP, and it’s breaking data regulations and laws and will not cease.
Tiktok let the IDF spread hatefull anti-palestine content so i hope it gets banned. Also tiktok tries to get US marines to use the app so china can steal military secrets
Twitter, Instagram, and Tiktok make it really difficult for me to want to use their services.
Why is it so hard to get or make an RSS feed these days?
Does the exclusivity or forcing users to download their app really endear their users to them?
