There's gonna be protests and riots in America

I believe the law actually says that it's illegal to facilitate it's use meaning that service providers would be breaking the law.

The reason they are posting pro trump statements that they are very smartly using him for once. They know he's the only chance of overturning the ban so they are massaging his ego.

 

I might start tyke-toc for those under the influencers

No, that's Toby-Fans.

 

The Chinese army - PLA, are behind cyber attacks on several western targets including many U.S government departments and companies. The goals are - industrial espionage and IP theft on a grand scale, military - spying and information gathering and denial of service. You can't deny it, India banned all Chinese telecoms equipment for a good reason:

The Chinese government may - or may not (it hasn't been proven 100% either way) - have access through backdoors in Huawei networking kit (their 5G gear was way ahead of competitors at the time of the ban).

The American government and law enforcement *does* have mandated backdoors in American made networking kit (coming from CALEA 1994 (Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Agencies) that was expanded in 2006 to include Internet core infrastructure.

Trump was the first senior politician to want a ban on TikTok - the law for which then went through Congress last year and was voted 352-65 on bipartisan lines in the House (155D/197R voted Yes, 50D/15R voted No), followed by 79-18 in the Senate (as part of a bill giving foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel). He cannot reverse this ban alone without another bill going through Congress - although he can extend it by 90 days if a sale of the American arm is in progress.

 

I kind of like facts and evidence though. Bloomberg is hardly a reliable source and everyone else denies it. So when you say "You can't deny it"... maybe not - and common sense tells us they probably are at it. But you can't confirm it either. I think you'll find that the US and allies do at least as much of all of this... and that part is proven thanks to Snowden, Assange etc

 

To add as well, I find is fascinating how the US sanctions are backfiring. Almost every day I read about technical breakthroughs in China which it has been forced to make because of the restrictions. Another incredible example that I read today - How China’s award-winning EUV breakthrough sidesteps US chip ban | South China Morning Post. It was also not widely publicised that the drone tech that the US is trying to ban has just been sourced to help Ukraine... quietly sourced by the US as they know their own drone tech is sub standard.

Given that China leads the way by far in terms of the number of new patents each year, I do expect it's more a case these days of the US trying to hack their tech. Times are changing fast and we live in an interesting world...

 

There’s so much evidence it’s laughable you could question it.

So it appears a 19 year old has been arrested for setting fire to a congressman's office.

Can't believe they have knocked off The Chase today to show it on ITV. Can't even swap to Pointless as BBC have done the same. Our media show way more interest in their Presidents than the American media do in our PMs.

 

See slimey Infantino FIFA president at top table

 

My laptop feels dirty now, I followed your link before I spotted it was the Daily Heil....

 

Their president has a hell of a lot more impact on us than our PM does on them.

 

Chinese are certainly hacking our systems just as we are theirs. In the case of TikTok it's more likely that it's not hacking per se, but using user data to influence peoples thinking/voting etc. See Brexit, Facebook etc.

 

I had videos from pro trump and pro Harris in equal quantities. There was definitely no bias that I saw

 

Pointless now showing on BBC2

 

It's not that it's being used right now not seen any direct proof), but that if the Chinese State wished to it probably could and would. I mean why not?
