There's shitload of influencers who depend on income from tiktok I believe, the worst being moms exploiting their kids. Some of these people probably make 6 figures per month. Looks like it may be banned unless sold to a usa company within 6 months or so. I'm sure there will be some resolution or replacement for it from some tech giant.
Tiktok usa ban?

This will happen. Some US company will buy it or it just wont operate in us. Other western nations will follow us lead.
This should have happened years ago.
Tiktok is not turning people into morons. They just were.
Or the old verse substitute money to social media with the philosophy below.
For the love of money is the root of all of evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Bible
Money doesn't change you; it reveals who you are when you no longer have to be nice.
Money doesn't change you. It merely reveals more of who you truly are.
Also: adversity doesn't build character; it reveals it.

Just because I have oracle shares.Everyone's entitled to their own opinion...
Now TikTok knows that I love snooker videos, especially with the GOAT Ronnie O'Sullivan!
Oh yeah, and also girls with big boobs, like "Yellzo"!
Plus Ron Butler of the Butler Mortgage brokerage. A guy who tells it like it is...

I don't, not that I don't like cute Asian girls. Just shows you how much TikTok customizes their users' feeds...and cute Asian girls
I get that a lot when I watch TikTok
It`s because with TikTok American politicians lose the way they can control the message. With it`s quick and easy platform TikTok is amazingly useful to get a lot of information, often political, which is often much more truthful than any other media. And when a lie, a fabrication or any other shit is posted you can discover it within the 5-6 comments.
FBI has the US best interests at heart. China does not. No hypocrisy when one considers how the data is being used.
Umm, terb.CC ? 
China isn't the enemy, our own governments are, in fact, all of them combined together are. They just needed an easy boogeyman, so, "omg, Russia, Omg China!"

Part of the "concern" is that TikTok's parent could be compelled to share its user data with the Chinese Communist Party on a whim because of its National Security Law. Or that the CCP is actively using the app to spread pro-China propaganda. As if it's only China that does this?
In Canada, we have the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act or PIPEDA, which affects US tech companies like Google, Facebook, etc.. How well (if at all) that legislation actually works is a totally different story.
The .cc domain is for the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, which is an Australian territory. There's only 600 people living there. Most of them are probably the Terb admins and modsUmm, terb.CC ?

Software on 100m+ US phones that may or may not restrict itself to data on its own use and effectively beholden to the Chinese govt? What could possibly go wrong?
This isn't a "well we do it, so I guess we should let them do it too" sort of situation. It's a little more nuanced and the stakes are a little higher than that. I certainly wouldn't want someone with that kind of thinking in charge of national security
Obviously, iits a lot more nuanced than that, but you remember where you're asked this question right? National and data security is a complex issue that can't be discussed intelligently on here.
Fair enough. And I wouldn't want me in charge of national security either
