They banned Twitter, Google, Facebook, KZread and many other websites and apps for the same reasons. And they are calling others for over reaction.. 😂

They even created an internet firewall blocking all the information on the internet not controlled by the Chinese communist party(CCP).😅😅😅

not true, the fact is these companies refuse to obey the law of China which require them to establish independent servers in China. To the contrary, TikTok has been complying with all the laws of the US and Canada.

Lies again? Canada Gay Tik Tok
Thanks for this kind of lesson. You are the first real native English that I can really understand. Clearly understand. Generally, I cannot. And use subtitle for the translate. Or just avoid the English native speaker because the accent is hard for understand. For the news... Well I think it's no sense. It's ok purge tiktok. But also KZread (or block a lot of channel), Facebook (the private one), Snapchat, WhatsApp (private WhatsApp) I think that's right. They MUST do it. For not for security. Not because this app/Web site is dangerous. No, just for avoid that people do private stuff and chat during the work. I think it's normal to that. Why the government do it only now?
I,m really glad to meet your chanel… keep doing well !!! Greeting from Panama
Great job 👏
So understandable..
Fantastic explanation 👏
Nice guys, I'm learning a lot with the news!

Person who is in China is getting content promoting information, hence society is encouraged to take STEM subjects. Now in USA or other country entertainment content is mainstream which in turn impacting then to become another content creator. Deep dive we all know which is better. In future USA will import more stem people from other country and China will be leading in sciences and R and D.
I don't like these type of videos, I like the original ones which starts with " 6 minutes English from BBC learning English " please, keep that version 😭😭😭😭

Support to block Tiktok due to security issue. All countries around the world are worrying the sensitive information stolen by other countries.
I want to speak English please I help you 😴
Good now, hopefully, people will get a hobby. I have not met one person who doesn't use it have some kind of problem, even with holding a conversation 🙄 😒 you every tried talking to these people it like talking to your 5 year old or your dog, your dog will probably have a better conversation with you than these people
That won’t work, unless you ban the app from being on any network in the Americas, you’re not going to see any difference whatsoever because the apps know how to hop around. For instance, the people in govt may not have the apps on their phones or network, BUT when they leave their employment and say go home to where other devices are actively using the app, if they are connected to the same network or internet, the app can harvest data and interact with any device that the users phone can see. This applies to walking around in public with the countless home and business networks that the phones can pick up. Unless you completely ban the app from the country and stop treating the app like refugees, and physically and metaphysically remove them from the country, nothing will change. You know how I know this? Because I have never even had tick-tock, and this has been going on far longer than the invention of tick tick. BUT just like the fossil fuel industry, the government profits from corruption in all forms and they will not do anything unless people in their building start dropping like flies. Bye 👋
I need someone to talk everything with whatsapp if you need pls reply 🙏
