TikTok will not be sold, Chinese parent ByteDance tells US
The video sharing app faces being banned in the US unless it severs ties with its China's ByteDance.

If we could have it banned in Europe or just Germany I would be happy for my people.
Just don't use it if you don't like it.
Where do we start and where do we stop with that kind of stuff?
If we ban TikTok we also would need to ban a lot of Social media platforms from the US for the same reason.
Edit: I don't live in the United States.
Actually, no. That's not how this works and it's not the reason behind the TikTok ban. TikTok is being banned because it's directly controlled by the Chinese government, a foreign adversary that has vested interest in controlling and manipulating the American public through propaganda.
Then force them to add a disclaimer of that whilst signing up. That simple.
Oh then please mark and ban American propaganda, too.
And the US is everyone's friend that would never use big tech to spy on people or spread propaganda in foreign countries.
I dislike it. But no. Don't be authorjtarian like China. Bann it on phones of those with security clearances, but that's all.
Banning a foreign propaganda platform is not authoritarian, it's a necessary step to protect democracy from being negatively influenced, manipulated and controlled by hostile, authoritarian actors like the CCP.
Ok boomer
Fucking moron
