150 million Americans have given TikTok near-monopolistic powers over US's entire web based industry. Just like how Google used their search engine to promote their own services and branch out into many different products, now Bytedance holds equivalent if even greater power:

Instagram rival Lemon8 hits the US App Store’s Top 10​

Prior to yesterday, the Lemon8 app had never before ranked in the Top 200 Overall Charts in the U.S.- ahead of YouTube, WhatsApp, Gmail and Facebook.

A single day of ads, promoted to all 150 million US users- that's all it takes ByteDance to place yet another record breaking app in the Top 10. TikTok isn't just an entertainment app, it is a beachhead for all Chinese and international apps into the US ecosystem. And US tech can't seal the crack or stop the flooding. Eight more days and all the Top 10 apps will be ByteDance owned.

RESTRICT act will take care of it. Don’t worry.

If you were an old boomer CONgressman used to see America #1 your whole life now all the top apps are Chinese, while your own CIA tools got banned in China decades ago, you'd want to flip the table too...
RESTRICT act will take care of it. Don’t worry.
Xi DaDa needs to not only de-dollar the world but de-Americanized and de-platform tech platforms from US control...

The Apple/Google dupoly must be broken apart...

We need at least a third player that is Chinese...

No other nation has the scale, size, STEM and real wealth to do this...

It is up to China to be the true leader of the real free world going forward.... China you are mankinds last final hope!!!

Might be harder to ban this if all it is are just "instagram" style happy pics and not news/politics or people ranting.

Just downloaded it, looks like picture version of "little red book". I think they gonna screw suckerberg even if tiktok gets ban since this app will be the refuge for at least the lifestyle tiktokers

France spreading propaganda on China again. This can only mean one thing :cool:
It's almost like PSYOP for war.
In the recent years, the West's propaganda war against China is unprecedented.

Chinese youth can’t wait for the war, especially if it’s gonna involve Japanese
look how far the French have fallen; mere foot soldiers and mouthpieces of the Anglo Saxon. Napoleon would weep at the weakness of French seed.
Tucker knows that if he doesn’t speak up now, deep state will start using it on him should he support Trump in anyway.
yep, imagine if this Act was in play in the 2016 elections; Russia gate would have resulted in many trump supporters being imprisoned for 20 years like this one:
