LOL! Navarro is one of the few in the administration who tells it like it is. He should get a promotion!

My very limited understanding is that Tik Tok is for slutty chicks to sing and dance, no?

The ChiComs are getting something out of it. Likely more than t&a.

China can’t even entirely ban Free Republic. I greatly doubt our government can ban Tic Toc.

To ban them we would need to prove a national security threat?

I think no ban could stand without a formally declared state of war.

My youngest daughter and her boy friend live on tictok.

Pretty sure her life will be irreperably harmed if Trump bans it.

Where can I write and possibly donate to this most worthy cause?

Satya and Ivanka are great pals: she announced her creepy “learn something new” initiative a couple of werks ago with the two of them front and center for the photo op.

Trump should have had Navarro as his chief of staff running his whole admin from the start.

Don’t worry I dont think it will be banned. Looks like it will be sold to Microsoft.

They will make it even worse!

Executives at Microsoft believe their losing the younger generation which explains the interest in TikTok.

I hope they don’t include it in Windows in future....

Here’s a troubling thought - Introducing Windows TikTok!

If Microsoft buys TikToc, it will: (1) Rename it 6 times; (2) Abandon it after two years of consumers spending a lot of money (e.g., Zune, Windows Phone, Invoke, Kin, Nokia, Microsoft Band, Groove Music).

Great move.

Not banned but not usable.

No, that is a very uneducated opinion of Tik Tok, there are far more older people on it now than younger. It’s a very fun and sophisticated crowd on there now. There is also a huge Trump movement on there.

Tik Tok is the only “free speech” platform out there today. The posts on HyrdroxyChoroquine that were pulled everywhere else were up there for all to see, and still are.

Tik Tok is the future of social media, with almost 2 billion downloads and everyone rushing to create their own Tik Tik like service it’s here to stay.

Basically, the older crowd up there knows Facebook is dead, it’s not hip, borning, the mass rush over to Tik Tok has been amazing.

I guess I’ll never know since I have no social media accounts. I have books, business, and the outside world.
Enjoy enriching Commie Chinks.

There are 1,000s of mobile apps written by Chinese companies. Frankly I don’t give a crap if Tik Tok is written by a Chinese company. Wallmart is fool of Chinese stuff, every electronic device you have in your home, the computer you were on was produced in China.
