What will happen to all the USA TikTok creators once the ban on TikTok takes effect?

@BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world · 10M

Better question: Will the world rejoice in having a social media network without Americans?

It’s already banned in Afghanistan, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Taiwan, Denmark, European Union, France, India, Indonesia, Netherlands, Nepal, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Somalia, and United Kingdom.

A lot of these are partial bans. Canada for example only bans it for government issued phones which makes sense, there shouldn’t be any apps let alone social media apps on those devices.

Yeah same for Australia.

Same with Australia. Seems a bit disingenuous to say it’s banned, it’s a government worker policy.

And it’s also only banned on work devices. There’s no ban on government employees having TikTok on their personal phones, although I personally don’t.

Sure. Exactly the same in France.

Same for Belgium

That’s very inaccurate information.

It’s basically only the government officials who can’t have the app installed on their phones, for security reasons.

That’s it.

A post so inaccurate it belongs on tic toc.
