    1. President Trump referenced the Covid 19 virus as a Democrat Hoax because he knew they would use the virus against him. The Democrats are not only ruthless A-holes but they have become unpredictable. Power Grabs make people desperate.
      1. Investigate the President for everything for impeachment. And they did. They investigated his Covid Response. Nobody is shocked.
      2. Blame everything on Racism. And they did…plus more.
      3. Point fingers at Trump for 150,000 death’s. Tell Americans, it’s his fault. And he’s not responsible. China started this destruction. Trump’s also not responsible for the deaths in other countries. So why should he blamed here?
      3. Take away all our liberties. Freedom of Speech, Religion and Guns but allow destructive Protesting and give ANTIFA a sword to be Terrorist Combatants. While taking guns from the police

    1. facebook is American company while tik tok represents the communist china regime…it is an Internet interference into the national security America…etc. not to mention that it is the biggest brainwashing and propaganda tool , not to mention the physiological damage all these apps have on kids and all… it is the biggest addiction too – social media and what you see today on the streets of America is the result of the liberal moral…

    2. *Joe Biden’s Family Has Been Cashing in on His Career for Decades. Democrats Need to Acknowledge That.*

      *Democrats have sidestepped the question of Hunter Biden’s ethics, and how much responsibility Joe Biden deserves.*
      *Republicans, though, have no such qualms.*

      WHILE DEMOCRATS PURSUE the impeachment of President Donald Trump for pressuring foreign countries to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden, they are left making an argument that is at once true and electorally and ethically compromising: What Trump did — and continues to do — was an impeachable abuse of power, and it should be considered separately from the question of what Hunter Biden did.

      The problem for Democrats is that a review of Hunter Biden’s career shows clearly that he, along with Joe Biden’s brother James, has been trading on their family name for decades, cashing in on the implication — and sometimes the explicit argument — that giving money to a member of Joe Biden’s family wins the favor of Joe Biden. Democrats have been loath to give any credibility to the wild rantings of Trump or his bagman Rudy Giuliani, leaving them to sidestep the question of Hunter Biden’s ethics or decision-making, and how much responsibility Joe Biden deserves. Republicans, though, have no such qualms, and have made clear that smearing the Bidens as corrupt will be central to Trump’s reelection campaign. The Trump approach is utterly without shame or irony, with attacks even coming from failson Eric Trump.

    3. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is not your friend. Why in the hell would you give them your personal information. You people are nuts.

    2. @J k I don’t think it’s a hoax.. But it’s not the guaranteed death sentance made out by the media.
      Go listen go trumps full speech. In that same speech he spoke about billions in funding and creating a task force to fight corona. Maybe you should lay off the 2 second out of context cnn soundbites.
      Also there is no documented proof of bounties on soldiers. it only has unnamed witnesses claiming its true.

    3. Trump personally owes HIS China almost #20M! His revenge goes beyond Tik Tok! As soon as Trump is done in November, he is marked!

  1. America spies on every person on the planet and has the nerve to call a children’s app spyware….IGNORANCE

    1. Ignorance is the stupid parent’s not making sure the apps their children use does not harm our country or themselves. We call this bad parenting. Be a Parent not a fan. Kids don’t control. Parents lay the smackdown

  2. The question should really be – why is everybody in an uproar now when this info was brought up 1-2 years ago?
    Because #45 was bested by a bunch of users.

    1. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is not your friend. Why in the hell would you give them your personal information. You people are nuts.

    2. Liz M ! Cherub you called it! I was saying the same thing as this story kept getting more steam this time. I don’t follow the tech news but I said damn you all brought this issue up before! But what us Americans need to bring the hell up is the damn dismantling of FCC Net Neutrality that Trump Administration dissolved back in Dec 2017!!! Now we are really feeling they effects of the mobile phone companies Throttle Back our data streaming which give us slow service and they purposely damn near stop any service! My Boost Mobile company just changed my unlimited service I had on July 4th . It I hit a certain data amount, Boost Mobile slowed my data down so much back on Aug 4th said I reached a limit, that they won’t resume my normal til Aug 7th. I could even view a 1 minute video with out it buffering at least 5 times and took up to 10 minutes just to play a 1 minute video!🤨
      We as Americans need to fight the right fight! Is Biden gonna reverse this 💩 The FCC shoved down our throats and get back Net Neutrality ! IJS😒 Because Trumps not going to do it! He’s even rigged the Mail Service so the mail in votes for Nov 2020 election can be slow to count the votes! 🤨

    3. So what are saying @Liz M.? If Biden wasn’t such a huge Communist Sympathizer he would have done the same too. The ignorance of this comment is pretty horrific. Inappropriate and Un American

    4. Magi Hypnotist Hannibal Bey You bring up many good points and I applaud your rage. The point is, we need a global policy. This is insane.

  3. While I am wary of apps connected to China, I would imagine closer examination needs to be practiced for other social media platforms as well.

  4. US tech & app giants have collected, stored & sold our personal data for many years <<< TICK TOK THAT

    1. Yeah but we aren’t weaponizing our data. If it’s Communist you better believe they aren’t storing our data in a Cloud of Good times and memories

    1. @Corey Mondello you will never wake up to corrupt media. Trump is the only outsider we have had in a long time. Just think… If not for him… Your options in 2016 would have been clinton or Bush..
      You just don’t get it do you?

    1. China uses the data from Tik Tok to hold cards over our heads in future endeavors not favorable to the US

    1. Does he doh? Name the security threat Russia imposes? They’ve “Tried” to interfere in our Election without any success. Name other security breaches

  5. Can we do a video “why everyone is afraid of US protectionism” and rob other countries companies in the name of “National Security”? Canada🇨🇦 Steel, German Cars, Alstom, Huawei…?

    1. Unilever should prepare to take over China Market from P&G.
      Being a king in Indonesia is not big, so Unilever should prepare to enter Chinese Market cause soon P&G will be kicked off from China, so does any other US brand. It is a big opprtunity.

  6. Trump is just mad that Tiktok users pranked him at his Tulsa rally by getting tickets and never showing up lol

  7. *From “I can’t breath” to BLM, the similarities does not end here…* They also banned certain “Isreali🇮🇱🇮🇱 origined” people in the name of “National Security” in the 1930s,started something truly horrific. The same theme they “stole our job”, the can not be trusted, sounds eriely familiar, does it? Also a “Populism Nationlistic Government”…
