Us companies like Facebook and Twitter had a chance to operate in China as long as they were willing to follow local laws/policies; they were banned because they didn’t want to cooperate.
On the other hand, TikTok seems willing to obey us laws and is bringing its team/data center into the us. Banning TikTok in spite of that sounds similar to injecting disinfectant for COVID
- sergiotapia 6y agoChina is a communist regime. They can do whatever the hell they want, why would american companies spend any time conforming to their demands when they can pull the rug out from under them at any time. Also, they would be under their total control forever.

- andrewPP 6y agoMany american companies seem to collaborate successfully with this communist regime including but not limited to Apple, Microsoft, Amazon. Even Google still has Google Ads platform operating in China.

- sergiotapia 6y agoYou can literally stand in front of the white house and call president trump whatever you want. Nobody is going to stop you. Go stand in front of the white house with a picture of trump calling him a cheeto or whatever, you're fine. You cannot even call the chinese dictator winnie the pooh online in china, or you get gulag'd.
- throwaway423342 6y agoNope, this is not related to what we were talking about. Should I bring up these in talking about the tiktok buyout? - I can't breathe - BLM Enjoy attacking the straw man.

- andrewPP 6y agoThe TikTok app is served by the US data center operated by a team in the US. If they violate any US law, federal regulators can find out and punish TikTok based on evidence like how they fined Facebook. Being owned by the CCP doesn't mean that they cannot obey US law. And it is really hard to imagine how CCP can harm the interests of the US people with those short fun videos. Does Trump believe virus spreads via these short videos?
