You posted many good point. This among them...
“How can the Chinese, even if they wanted to, use it to spy on you, anymore than Apple, Google, FaceBook, Twitter or Microsoft already does?”
If China = Bad and Microsoft = Good, then when TikTok is sold to Microsoft and nothing changes regarding privacy - then all is good, right?
Look. TikTok is bad. No matter who owns or controls them. But I’m much more concerned about Facebook, Twitter, Google, et al and their existing deep state involvement along with the media in bringing down Trump and America.
I’m thinking that Trump alone could never tackle the big guys first (Google, FB, Twitter) so he is starting with the JV team. TikTok.
Oh, just bite me.
It’s to silence the trump movement
Yeah, Trump would like to silence Trump.
Grow the eff up.
But right now, we have a chance to kill TikTok.
The others, maybe the time will be ripe later. I'll take what I can get.

Yes. See my post 61. Trump knows what he’s doing. No way could he ban or even control the big e-utilities. His own party wouldn’t support him there. But by taking a baby step first - maybe someday the real enemies (FB, Twitter, Google et al) will be taken down.
OK, fair enough, and I respect your answer.
But I am more fearful and opposed to the tyrant Communists a few miles down the road (Marxist BLM and Antifa, the current democrat party, the DNCMedia, Hollywierd) than the Chinese Communists 4000 mile away.
We will go to war with China if they attack us (and Trump is president). Meanwhile, all I see of the Left these past few months is violent attack after attack and no one in the USA—except maybe Donald Trump, with no support—lifts a finger to stop them.
The technical aspect I’ve heard about Tik Tok that differs from the rest is they are using facial recognition to make filters for people’s faces on the videos... And then saving this information in their databases. That’s a huge invasion of privacy, but I don’t really see how cataloging US teenagers faces is useful to China in any international struggle.
You ever give consideration that Trump may have more information than we do regarding Tik Tok and the Chinese...perhaps security risks?
Yep! Nothing will chase a Trumper away! NOTHNG! And the left know it!.
That's why banning would have no impact on the election.
Most of the people using Tik-Tok aren't going to vote, let only vote for Trump.
Another marxist democrat infiltraitor. Can spot em a mile away, without my glasses.
Oh, brother. What a ludicrous thing to say. Unless you know every detail about how it works, how it is programmed, and how it can be abused, how can you make such a broad claim? The fact it is a forum for supposedly free exchange is immaterial if it can be used to spy. Remember when people thought Twitter was for free and open exchange?
How old are you? Because you sound like an overwrought teenage girl.
This isn’t about spy ware, it’s about Zuckerburg not getting your data, it’s about Bill Gates not getting your data, and more importantly, it’s about ... the CCP getting your data
China’s law is that every web site owned by any Chinese entity must send all content on the platform to the government (like our NSA under Bushobama), which in turn uses facial recognition and other A.I. techniques to analyze it via automatic algorithms.
PS
Hi, newbie.
See post 24.
Where did the go?

Hi AW..loved your comments and all comments.. Hi Laz.... difficult times to be sure but when there are choices to be made Im on the side that 45 promotes...
Everybody loved Facebook when it first came out, too.
Post the “Enemy’s” messages in sequence please... prove your point step wise with logic. Don’t just shill for a site with a vanity point. Tik Tok is a CHI-COM site... pure and simply, just as Jack Ma’s alibaba is only vetted by his commissar overlords for Xi.
You will have to do better than this to beat the clearly adept digital soldiers working for our President. Way beyond the claptrap twatter verse of the “net”.
Post it— make your case.
