What would your reaction be if your favorite social media channel was banned?

All these chinese apps should be banned. They're spreading the zombie-phone-addicted culture from China to the western world.

Teenagers and people in their 20s are completely out of it on their phones, many even killing themselves or commiting crimes over challeneges on TikTok, the rest, trying to build a career by dancing or doing make up.

At least with Youtube people put a production. TikTok is just plain addictive simple stuff.

We're starting too look a lot like the Chinese, all day on our phones not talking to each other.

Several experts on these matters have reported publicly that Chinese tech magnates are absolutely using these apps to collect information on users. Now, the average no-life user on social media doesn’t have much to lose or sacrifice. However, public servants at the highest level are risking everything, including what’s not their own to risk, simply by using malicious apps. I don’t necessarily believe in protecting idiots from themselves. In fact, i’m whole heartedly against it. But i absolutely insist that we be allowed to do everything in our power to protect ourselves from idiots. I wouldn’t stop at banning the app. I’d happily publicly execute detractors and violators of the policy. We’re trying pretty hard to destroy the society we’ve created, and not in positive ways. Handing foreign entities everything they need to finish the job isn’t in our best interests, i’m certain.

I'd adapt and survive easy enough, no real issue for me on that aspect.

It is likely a good thing to ban this from those elected to office since it could be used to accidently or intentionally give confidential information to the Chinese.

They can resign if they would rather be on Tiktok or wait until they are out of office to go back on it.

Probably won't be happy about, bug they need better guide lines for these sites I don't dought that with TikTok bi meet a lady who was going to court for prostituting 13 year old girls on TikTok. I would never use TikTok or support them anyway

[Guy13]

India, “as a protection of National sovereignty” refused to allow it in electronic borders. Everyone knows that it is a Chinese Intelligence resource and information gathering tool. If you have been on it, you are F-ed ‼️

Even Trump said no military personnel are to use it.

[ArtemisSilver]

The reason it was banned is that it was being used to steal private user data and to track journalists who are critical of the CCP.

I would be happy to see any app with massive security and privacy violations like that banned for public safety reasons.

Social Media is breeding grounds for false and misleading media. Conservatives will fall for anything written on a meme (without a source shown too). I hope all members pay zero attention to social media.

[SaoirseS]

That is not true. The House and Senate passed legislation to ban use of TikTok on GOVERNMENT-OWNED DEVICES. It does not prohibit TikTok or anything else from personally-owned devices.

[DizzyDesii]

The same day i joined youtube i got banned for spamming my review in the comments section of a movie trailer 😂 Thank goodness i never tried other forms of social media

[Adam1978]

Good, there is nothing positive about tiktok. Social apps needs regulations so they don't create unhealthy behavior or rewards such behaviors.

[Soteris]

Completely understandable. It is a security weakness and you have to make sacrifices if you work in the government.

[RavVid]

Is GAG a social media channel? I haven't got on facebook etc and I say burn them. if GAG is included then I won't be happy.

[sage2021]

We don't have a parliament in the USA. We have the legislature.

[Fuentes]

We know she's foreign now I thought she was American lol

[Kayla45]

Canada is already making YouTube worse for Canadians, so I suppose you could say I'm already used to it. 🥲

[MysticDevice]

TikTok is literally owned by the Chinese Communist Party and is using it to spy on its users. So it makes sense that the government isn't allowed on it.

[NathanDavis]

G@G is my only media of the kind, sort of... would not like to see it banned, lol

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Not much I could do, some of the things on TikTok are dangerous, That's what needs clean up on there.

[gorydetails]

It needs to be banned for the whole country.

[Friendlybro79]

I wouldn't care at all because it serves zero necessity. You can survive with no social media and I guess that life would be better with minimal to no use of it.

[AviatorTom]

If my favorite social media got banned, I'd switch my favorite to #2 on my favorites list.

[jshm2]

They'll still use it via proxy

So much for "freedom lov'in USA!"

[JessicaEarl]

Best day of my life. Screw tiktok for ruining our kids

[Guanfei]

I've had many social sites who disappeared since I'm on the internet. I'll just move on to something else. There's always something else.

I mean it sounds like Communism, this Chinese Psyop app really caused our country to fall for it and start implementing communism.
