The US Senate has approved a controversial landmark bill that could see TikTok banned in America.
It gives TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, nine months to sell its stake or the app will be blocked in the United States.
The bill will now be handed over to US President Joe Biden, who has said he will sign it into law as soon as it reaches his desk. ByteDance has told the BBC that it did not have an immediate response to the move.

The influencers are panicking right now😂

You laughter as US government take away any free speech and only leave US propaganda channels like Facebook and KZhead.
Now they will have to get a job
KZhead shorts is a thing. They will go to YT or Instagram
MySpace, vine etc came and went. An opportunity for entrepreneurs or bug tech now
The mental health issues this and other apps cause on children and some adults is truly disturbing.
Parents shouldn’t let their kids use apps like TikTok. It’s a simple as bad parenting. As for adults, if we are to ban TikTok because of the negative mental health effects It has on adults, wouldn’t we then have to ban all other addictive and mental health damaging social media? We can’t just single one out as the big bad, when they all have significant effects on mental health.
thats not why they're being banned. Its because the US suspects US data being transferred to China. Problem with that logic is, all that data is stored and logged on US servers owned by a US company
Right, did you know meta-achieved mind reading.
Isn't that the responsibility for the parents to control their kds?
@@peterjackson5812 some parents are kids themselves.
Please BAN IT!!
ban all social media apps.
Shorts after this📈📈📈

@@Tayhorix good luck with your shorts

Are we really that naive to believe the ban is to protect children?
Thank you for saying this.
No it's a smoke screen but tiktok is a cancer I'm all for it in the uk
🎯🎯🎯 atleast some of us get it.
It's about protecting American citizens from Chinese interference and stealing our information. I have no idea why the Republicans think this is about protecting children.
Adults too
I am supporting for the ban worldwide…

I wish the England would do this...tiktok is one of the worst apps for children...if you want them to lose the art of critical thinking and reduce their attention span to 3 seconds then this is the app for you........
really! there will be more apps. You have to ban every other social media app.
No worse than Instagram, Facebook and all the others
The same can be said for KZhead now with its ”shorts”. Do we ban KZhead too? People/parents just need to be responsible for what their children access.
@@77jamess You can set filters on KZhead to prevent shorts from appearing on your devices. TikTok's model revolves around the short content, KZhead does not
God people like you moaning and wanting to ban stuff.
While we are at it, call for Temu to be banned too.😅
So people can buy more expensive goods?
TEMU app lawsuit going on Atlanta Georgia problem is KZhead running this apps temu

i use facebook for gaming so i disagree with facebook but i agree with twitter to be banned.
There is no Twitter. it's gone. It's called X now and it's owned fully by a psychopathic liar.
Ban KZhead for mimicking with their shorts

China when it bans american apps: 😏 China when the USA bans one of their apps: "tHiS iS UnFaIr 😭"
China don't ban them , if they are agree to follow local laws , they can operate in China.
At this point they already have enough information and there are multiple Chinese apps.
China doesn't ban them, they have to follow China's rules. Also US has already banned several Chinese companies
@@h.c3804 in other words they ban them due to the possibility of supreme leader Xinnie the Pooh and his fascist friends being criticised

The amount of damage Tiktok has done... This could be a blessing in disguise
I have never had problems on tiktok only Instagram
"the amount of damage video games have done..." "the amount of damage TV have done..." "the amount of damage comic books have done..." "the amount of damage Rock n Roll has done..." all these things people tried to ban because it was bad for the kids... great.
Video games take a lot of skill to build and gaming is a great stress relief. (I am a senior software dev and love gaming) TV actors and movies require a lot of time effort and skill Comic books are a great depiction of intelligent writing, artwork and skill Rock and roll requires a tremendous amount of dedication skill and vocal chord modulation So the things you've compared are not the same as someone shaking their ass and being the most followed channel on tiktok.
Yt shorts has done 10x worse than TikTok will ever will
@@rammus5672do you you really think that’s all what TikTok is? No seriously, is your head so far up your ass that it’s so hard for you to see beyond what everyone tells you to see?
Ban this alongside instagram and Facebook
Please ban it for the love of God. How many more times do I have to see headlines in the news with something horrible + "TikTok".....
Says the guy using KZhead
Please ban every social media a lso while you're at it
I f*cking hate tiktok
We hate you so can we get rid of you please?
😂😂😂do you realize how pathetic for a person to hate a software?
I mean yeah but does that mean we should ban it? There are no legal grounds really. Next thing we could do is ban Anime because it subverts our childrens culture and is harmful or whatever
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981 i think you made a good point, maybe they should ban porn😂

I hope this will be ban here in Philippines too
The UK should do the same!
Please do it in england, it has ruined a whole generation literally 🤦🏼♀️
same with X, Instagram and Facebook etc
@@gooner3654 Yes I agree social media itself is an awful influence, especially on the younger generations. I do think tiktok is the worst by far though and has caused an awful lot of issues, our government want to ban smoking but not that 🤦🏼♀️
Nothing to do with shite parenting then? Just tiktok. And look at your profile picture
@@bobbyknox9258 Parenting has a hand in most things of course, however that doesn't change tiktok/social media being a bad influence. Yes ? I am also not sure what my profile picture has to do with this conversation either frankly. However yes I have seen it, I think that is evident in the picture itself.

Sat on a beach in Thailand and everyone on tik tok not even swimming playing with sand im so glad i was born before iphones where invented
It's ridiculous that TikTok is also not allowed in China...
Yep, even they know it poisons the youth, so they banned in China. Thier goal is to destroy Americas youth, therefor destroying America in the process.
yep
No it's ridiculous that you simple types are all crying like b_tches. Time to live real life now!
We should be banning it too..
Why are u on KZhead
@@JonySmith-bb4gxBecause Google owns it and Google isn’t from a foreign country trying to spy on the USA
Please ban it in the UK as well!!!!!
KZhead as well
@@zacksmith5644 We'll ban you.
This bill is Unconstitutional, and sets a very bad precedent. Government should not get into the business of telling private business what to do and not do. The next thing they'll be doing is telling private citizens what to do and what not to do in private!!
Ban it in the UK
Don't forget Facebook, X, any social media platform would have to be banned aswel!. Then we could have govt. controlled internet just like China and other communist countries, what freedom.....
Yea
Ban freedom in uk . Go back to monarchy
Some apps that should be removed from the topic. TikTok is one of them. I fully support it.
Same with Facebook, Instagram, twitter etc

@@zacksmith5644 Shut it.
Same with Tinder and every other dating site
Let's banned it 😞
This is the beginning of the end of Tiktok
Plz I’m tired of going on live seeing ppl begging for money on it
It should be banned here to
Get rid of the silly app altogether. It's encouraging children to be influenced by uncensored, unfiltered stupidity. The mentality of "what's then point in going to school when we can learn everything they need from Tiktok?".
same thing happens on KZhead. anything you can find on tiktok you can find here too.
All the tik tokers will just come to youtube and eventually this will be banned😅
@@TechyCatz finally someone smart
Ban it It makes kids distracted
Kids should not be on the app then? And even then ban all books, all apps, all media and all entertainment then? You don't want the kids to be distracted do you?

@@JonySmith-bb4gx Shut your face. You tube can go too.
finally some common sense
Ban TikTok, Instagram, Facebook , Snapchat etccc
Should be banned everywhere asap.
Communist
It is not a "BAN" on Tic Tok, it is regulation on private information being transmitted to a foreign country. Tic Tok only needs a new owner, and it would have 9 months to find an approved buyer.
I cant see the owners of tic toc selling their business just because the americans dont like it.the truth is they the americans cannot spy on you.unlike meta and the cia sympathizers.
And thats where the argument falls apart. All that data is stored and logged on US servers owned by a US company
Its obvious what's going on. US wants to own all the social platforms.
nothing to see here, TikTok just needs a new, pro-Isr... I mean, neutral owner
Edward Snowden leak showed the world that the US government is the big snoop when it comes to telling Google, Microsoft, Cisco etc to put spyware on their products (and even secretly hacking through their network). that is proven. Yet no one is going around saying that Google and Microsoft should be banned in their countries.
BAN IT SO PEOPLE CAN WAKE UP AND LIVE THEIR OWN LIFE❤
lessgo. Finally the US senate does something good for the people
Agreed . Finally 1st amendment is gone China made USA into a dictatorship
Imagine if EU forced the US to sell Apple or Microsoft to a European country
The EU would do that if its politicians had a spine. Instead they rely on American technology for everything. Also, China does this to American social media companies all the time
Yeah thats not whats happening here
Not even a close analogy, let KZhead Facebook and X operate freely in China and tiktoc can stay otherwise you don't let us play you don't get to play here
Imagine China blocked KZhead, Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram etc etc woops they already did
@@nwhite3080 they can operate if they follow the local laws that applie to all social media who operates on China.
Well Done.
Absolutely. The idiots are freaking out lmfao.
What about on other country? Playstore and Google is still from USA. Does this mean every one who uses android and apple could no longer use it? Is that how it is? Or only in the US.
Ban all social media
KZhead is a form of social media 🤡🤡🤡
@@UltimateCarDrawer567 you're too clever you are 🤣
@Dan-ze4qz why are u scared 😂 Do it

China won’t allow any western app in their country and they don’t follow any rules of international trade so why western countries should follow their rules?
Tells us all we need to know about what American social media companies actually do.
BAN THAT POISON
Hopefully this tiktok will be ban also here in EU.
Am sure it will since Europeans are America’s domestics. And domestic one day, domestic every day……
naaaah people always try to ban the stuff the kids are into and I never support it. Back in the day US politicians tried to ban video games, before that comic books and "bad TV, and before that they even tried banning Rock n Roll. shit they even succeeded with the last one. many cities in the US just banned Rock n Roll due to its "subverise and degenerate elements" one day people will look back at this with the same confusion

Says the guy on KZhead
@@JonySmith-bb4gx Stop copying other people's comments.
Whats the difference between tiktok and Instagram?
Same thing, just different types of cancer.
KZhead going the same way now
Both are banned in china
Instagram is owned by an American company, and is therefore beholden to American/Western advertisers who essentially fund it. This allows companies, and to a certain extent the government to pressure Instagram to adopt certain stances on issues. Look at what happened to Twitter to see the power advertisers hold over these companies. Tiktok doesn't have this problem, it's a Chinese app and is funded differently. All this bullshit about Tiktok's algorithm being harmful, the app being harmful etc is a distraction. Every modern social media app uses similar patterns and algorithms to hook users. The only thing that the US cares about is exerting control over the app.
One is controlled by the US government and the other isnt. Thats the difference. That's why it is being banned.
Please ban it everywhere worldwide
BAN it!
F. this chinese spyware
lol
Go go ban it ban it and teach the kids how to grow without technology until age 30 or 18
Lol and yet Facebook was responsible for the Arab spring
If China wanted our data it would be far cheaper to buy it from other social networks who already have it.
you are literally on a US spyware website
Can we ban Temu too🤔
Hopefully
TEMU ads spyware has been supreme Court Atlanta Georgia lawsuit problem is KZhead running Chinese ads slappedKZhead too lawsuit
As CH, I never play it although many ordinary people are addicted to it everyday. Wasting their time and energy on this meaningless app seems a tragedy
I don't support government overreach but what this app is doing to young people, particularly young women needs to be addressed.
Every single social media app is doing the same shit tho, you nitpicking
Get rid of it in the UK and band only fans too
why ban only fans??
Let's ban books, tv, games, drinks, and anything else you don't like. If you don't like it, don't use it, your CHOICE. We have freedom of choice, not dictated to by govts.
