Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Capitalists never play fair, lol.
Can't wait to see some stupid western company take the place of tiktok then all the retards complaining about tiktok suddenly shutting up.
They don't realize there's a trade war going on and they're just useful idiots in it.
TikTok is cancer regardless of who owns it.
And at the same time if you preach so much free market economics then you should just learn to live with it and don't buy the product if you don't like it
Please show me an example where I
(If you don’t find one it’s because I never did.)
I think they were referring to the ones who voted to ban it
Exactly
Anything from China is anything but free market. Chinese companies are still owned by the state who practice state capitalism.
Don’t fall for the straw man.
It's not a strawman, commie.
They meant the argument you were responding to, the obvious strawman, and not what you said.
Free market for me but not for thee.
Yes, there is a trade war.
Don't be naive about NSA and US propaganda/surveillance.
There doesn't need to have NSA propaganda when China themselves say they are state capitalists and allow billionaires to flourish.
That's not true at all. China has state owned businesses and private owned businesses. You think the Boeing and Microsoft locations in China are owned by the CCP?
If you're being pedantic, you're right, but Chinese companies are still Chinese state-owned-- which Tiktok is.
that is bs with regard to the facts.
Cry about it. I can taste your tears from here.
So you acknowledge that you're disregarding facts and you're telling them to cry about it?
Tell me about it commie.
You've seemed to have lost any coherent point in what you're saying. Step back everyone, this person hates facts and knows it! What a badass.
Tell me more commie.

Okay, here's a real article from Stanford actually explaining the breakdown of state owned vs private owned equity in China. And this is a "China bad" article, so you know I'm not cherry picking data from some bullshit website. https://sccei.fsi.stanford.edu/china-briefs/rise-state-connected-private-sector-china
No. There's privately owned industry in China.
Of course you'd lie.
It will never cease to amaze me that people can have the full power of the Internet at their fingertips and have the wherewithal to not look something up before saying something stupid.
Of course you'd deny.

Sucks for the rich, but I, the average consumer do not care about what some rich guy's stocks are doing. I will always go for the cheaper, more accessible, better product.
Nah. I don't think Bytedance sells. The big enchilada is the source code and that's not getting sold because there's 6 Billion more people they can get on the app.
There are several right-wing groups eager to buy it, which is 100% why they're going after it.
Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook. They're going to control all of it soon.
Din they'll be requiring expensive identity verification for online accounts to make the fediverse financially unsustainable.
