China Response to TikTok Ban? Facebook, IG and X are banned in China? (I had no clue)

Just read this article:https://www.ft.com/content/b0b949cd-d1d3-40f5-8a52-beaf3b29badc about the Chinese response to TikTok Ban in the US I didn't realize that China had banned Facebook, IG, and X -- I guess given all that -- it doesn't seem so ridiculous that the US wants to ban TikTok? What do you all think? I feel like if China doesn't let US apps run -- it's fair for the US to do the same What do you all think?

is this the bar

Amazon katsu_ Mar 14

No the bar is supposed to be higher

SAP Ski>Work Mar 14

Poor on you for not knowing that? PS TC or GTFO

Google ex meta Mar 14

China has no Amazon, Google, Netflix, Pinterest, any of tech companies. Its only fair to make chinese companies only operate in china and not cross its boundary

Meta lcmaster Mar 14

China does have Amazon including AWS

Google ex meta Mar 14

CCP let AWS operate so alibaba cloud can steal the IP lol. They didnt let Amazon ecommerce to run in China because it was considered “national security threat”

Shows you the IQ of average mEtAmAtE. Not aware about their own company, there to just collect paychecks and beat their chest about moving 0.0001% of metrics with an AB test.

Meta Telmari Mar 14

Speak for yourself, I lightly tap my chest about moving 0.0002% of metrics with an AB test!

@Snap I'm pretty sure you know far less about everything Snap does (limited as that is compared to Meta's breadth)

Who uses it? Not Americans

Amazon plsdontban Mar 14

Lots of Chinese Americans

America holds themselves to a higher standard (whether they meet that is irrelevant). It’s not just tit for tat. Just because China does it doesn’t mean America will automatically do it. They will decide on their own.

Agree. If US acts like China in all these ways, then it should change the political system, too (not saying that it’s not going in that direction, but u get what I mean)

It’s almost orgiastic to see the CCP crying crocodile tears over the actions of a government strong arming a private company for its own interests.

Adobe jobasap Mar 14

Wtf does orgiastic mean

Meta TioFrio Mar 14

There are way better ways to get orgiastic. WAY BETTER.

US: if you follow the Chinese law, you can’t operate here. China: if you don’t follow the Chinese law, you can’t operate here. ^^^^ see the difference?

Amazon plsdontban Mar 14

More like US: If you follow laws of an adversary nation which violates American law, you can't operate here. The wumao delulu is strong

Stripe fdKy47 Mar 14

TikTok: I will not … US: I take that as a no. Just listen to the hearing, that’s exactly part of the conversation between TikTok CEO and an US officer.

Do you even know why they were banned in the first place? They didn’t want to comply with Chinese data privacy laws. They complied with EU, India, but not China. It’s weird right? Microsoft complied that’s why you can access Bing and LinkedIn in China. But TikTok already complied, the regulators couldn’t find any violations. It’s not tit for tat. It’s just childish and looks very badly on the US “rule of law”

SAP Ski>Work Mar 14

LoL China data privacy doesn't exist, it's you must give all your data to China and let them freely censor anyway they want and let them see your code. And you must choose to "partner" with a state owned company too.

Meta DyND54 Mar 14

Why was Google and Facebook banned in China in the first place again?

I thought we claimed to be different / better / more open / etc. if your parameter is “they do it so we should do it too” you are on a slippery slope

What a weak soyboy logic.

Meta blasian Mar 14
