This just in - companies that want to continue doing business in country must follow country’s laws. More at 10.
Meanwhile China is outraged that the US are thinking of banning TikTok.
While also having TikTok banned in China 😂
If the US bans Tiktok, expect China to retalliate against Apple. China is Apple's most important market.
....they enjoy the profits from making Apple products and they do have a legal system over there, so your suggestions is dubious at best.
I don't think they'd actually respond. Also TikTok is only partially Chinese owned.
That said the US would probably have to make a strong case TikTok is being used to convey Chinese propaganda in a way that's irrevocable or uncontrollable.
If only the phone operating system allowed you to load applications from somewhere other than the official app store. Someone should make a phone that does that.
Yes, but play that tape forward as someone living in China. Lets pretend you wanted to use Signal
Etc etc.
There a ways to pull it off, but China does not make it easy. Android is over 80% of phone sales in China. Censoring comms on Android is the state’s priority.
