I don't really like Tiktok. But, forcing the choice on people probably isn't the best idea either.

It's CCP spyware. It should be banned everywhere.

What about American Spy Ware?

There's plenty of U.S. equivalents. What's your point?

Nepalese residents will be infected with the insidious Chinese Mind Virus if they watch too many Chinese girls putting on make-up or C-Pop Boy Bands do the sissy-hypno dance. Then their society will collapse and China will be free to roll in the tanks. This is just like how China conquered the countries of Hong Kong, Tibet, and Tienanmen Square.

I have seen it's true face. Social media is an extended gutter and the gutter is full of ads and when the drains finally scab over all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their pop-ups and clickbait will foam up about their waists and and all the reply guys and soy boys will look up and shout "save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper... "No."

Yay! As a father, that app makes me nervous

Edit: wow just coming back to this, I think I may have just started a war

Why? It's no different than any western social media. In fact, in my experience, western media tries to push their agendas on me, while my Tiktok is just full of random tech videos and cats.

Agreed, we should ban them all

I'm not surprised, it's Chinese spyware
