BondRiv: Some of you are really out of touch. Are you aware China banned almost all American apps including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, twitter, google in China for over a decade till date? Who should be called petty now? |

Great100000: America's corporate theft, this is how they steal businesses in the name of "national security' just as they did with Irag in the name of "weapons of mass destruction" but went to steal Iraqs oil and gold....dambaza white barawo. Thieves. Exactly how Britain stole Chelsea in the name of "Russion Invading Ukraine"....White criminals....the looting they did in Africa isn't enough.

China has no say because they are the first bully. Lol. They made sure most American apps are banned in their nation. X is banned is China for almost 2 years. Lol. Whatsapp too for over 5 years now. Lol. Yet without the US all the apps and tech they are building are nothing. Let's all balance these things. Let's not blame the US. China is a mad nation. If they get to become the World power, China will bully everyone. The US to me is still fair, considerate, and accommodating. I prefer this US reign to any useless BRICS nonsense. Those nations there are somethings else. They all have something in common. They are are mad nations. Lol. Russia, China and South Africa are the "most most most mostest crazziesst craziest" of all. A strong leader with "kolomenta" like Trump especially when Biden decided to unleash out the demons in him without making sure he doesn't return will go to the extreme end. My prayer is that he doesn't turn out to allow himself turn to Hitler. It is possible if he is not careful. I some of his decisions so far (not all), but they still look so scary. I wrote about it earlier. He negotiated that Palestinians should leave Gaza for Egypt and Jordan....lol. And then released the bomb Biden blocked from going to Israel because Israel will level everything in Gaza with it. Trump said after all they paid for it. Lol. No be "kolomenta" person go do this? But the truth is that this is the only reason there will be peace. And the only way is that the upper hand person there should take over everything. That's it. You keep saying Palestines are people too..then, the war will go on for life. Is it fair? Nope. But if you want the war to stop, Palestines should quit. Period. If you don't want to take the hard decision, then, just keep shut and close your eyes, and say nothing even though you see kids and women dying anyhow. The better fighter will win las las. Na waste of time trying to put mouth in that Gaza war. A war that has been going on before many were born. Lol. He has almost stopped Russia and Ukraine war too. I have written about it in one of my posts. So, the checks he has placed on to carry out for China in Panama and Greenland may be a tough decision, but those are pro-America. Belgium has decided to put some billions of dollars in the Greenland security just because Trump threatened them. A place they neglected. Lol. Still Trump said that is not enough and they are still working on how to tackle it. Lol. If the US is successful in doing what Trump is proposing in Panama and Greenland, just forget it....China is finished. All their "gragra" is over. And the next 100 years, US will be world power. Hate Trump....but the Democrats too will enjoy from these bold moves. Just imagine how Canada that I used to think is a powerful nation is reduced to nothing. As big as it is, Trump messed them up telling them to become the 51st state of the US. That one cracked me. Not even saying each province should become a state. The whole nation that is like twice of the US in land area. Lol. Trump "menta" no be small. ![]() |

budaatum:That is how all empires are formed but it didn't guarantee their longevity. Who will give you the same start? it is never given but taken and paid for in blood. Many even fizzle out quick even though they started well. Are you willing to pay the price? No, you won't. Even if this were to be the 1st century, your reach will still be limited by either distance or competing powers. |

[quote author=BondRiv post=133912073]The U.S. is so petty and insecure. [Why is Facebook and why is WhatsApp banned in China? Is China petty?] |

Afrowits: They bought WhatsApp from Indians, YouTube as well and vevo, TikTok will kill YouTube which is the main source of revenue for google in few years to come , hence the aggressive move toward the ownership of TikTok, it’s all monopoly game It’s a desperate move to maintain their spy app, All these apps aren’t just mere apps, they are tools, real spy tools, 1 Like 1 Share |

uncleck:TikTok is not a Chinese app but Singaporean. infact, it's even banned in china as well. U.s are trying to promote their own social medias and control free speech. It was later discovered that most of u.s senators invested heavily into Meta recently while trying to ban TikTok. |
Lorechino(m): 3:51am On Jan 29 |
My question is, can't TikTok survive without USA 🇺🇸?

preciouswoman66:Oligarchy is what is also playing out in the U.S. Government favours the rich and they pay less tax. Are you aware that Mark Zuckerberg lobby the u.s congress to ban TikTok? Are you aware that most u.s senators purchases shares in Meta ( Mark Zuckerberg company) months ago while trying to ban TikTok?? They claim is for national security against china yet iphone is made in china. They're not even aware that TikTok is also ban in China years ago. |

koladata:TikTok is also ban in China. It's own by a Singaporean. |

Afrowits:China will not sell to them. China is their biggest contender and nightmare always coming up with better versions of major US innovations like BYD, Deepseek etc. Let the battle begin... |

CuteNbad: Before tiktok, to collect money from YouTube the verification process you'll go through is very traumatising and most of content creators lose their money on flimsy excuse from ADSENSE. |
Procashtips(m): 6:07am On Jan 29 |
Always to add "Tiktok US". Tiktok does not belong to the US alone, so when talking about acquisition, let your readers know you're only talking about the US version of tiktok. |
Procashtips(m): 6:08am On Jan 29 |
Athemisia: Tiktok is not banned in China, stop spreading false information. It bears another name in China. Lastly, the owner of tiktok is a Chinese, the US version of tiktok is managed by a Singaporean (The CEO) 1 Like |

Electorate: You're not making sense ....... Why not leave the "criminals" alone and face your country.... Develop it so that Americans can be vying to troop in even to the tune of entering illegally cos it's so sweet to be in your country. The day you idíots wake up is the day the world will end. Stupid lazy mediocre beings .... I'm glad that not all Africans are this way, if you think this is all about Africa and Africans |

This won't happen, before you know they start using TikTok to spy on people, The same way they monitor and see your WhatsApp chats. Using end to end encryption to deceive people. NCC should ban WhatsApp and Facebook. |

[b]US President Donald Trump has confirmed that Microsoft is in talks[b] to acquire TikTok, amidst uncertainty surrounding the app's future in the United States. This development comes after a US law ordered TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to divest its ownership or face a ban in the country. Trump said it and everyone is carrying the news that MIcrosoft is in consideration to acquire TikTok. For a guy that lies as he breaths, this news should be taken with a pinch of salt until when corroborated from other reputable sources (with possible knowledge of such a deal). Trump that can be trying to pressure TikTok. Not to mention that the whole narrative of TikTok being a national security concern or privacy issues is the exact thing that Meta and other Big Tech do in the US. But because they are US companies, they can do no wrong. |

emmy512: Why can't they compete or rather ban the whole thing if it's a threat to them? Can they entertain any bid for any of their top companies like Google or Microsoft to be sold to other countries? |
Lorechino(m): 9:40am On Jan 29 |
Thoth02: Oooh I see, thank you. |
emmy512(m): 10:09am On Jan 29 |
Kingbharry:Compete? They're already competing, the US wants to have control of their citizens data especially if it's a Chinese app. They can't trust them. Same way china does not trust them and made sure US apps are not allowed their . it was banned outright by hidden and trump as a business man saw an opportunity to have It and still make 50 percent of it American owned so it won't have a total Chinese control. But don't worry, 😁 if the deal is not accepted it will be totally banned as you wish and I bet you, tik too would rather have a cut of American market than loose it. And if America succeeds it'll set a precedent where all EU nations or five eye nations would start to behave same way and tik tok may have to divest or fold in those countries. Let china open it's country to American apps and watch what happens |
