Reflection and foreign reactions to the ban on Tik Tok in America
| The ban on Tik Tok in America has led to the formation of protests among the American people and has resulted in many foreign reactions. |
On Wednesday evening, the US House of Representatives passed a bill with a favorable majority. This bill was nothing but the bill to ban Tik Tok in America.
Approving the ban on the Tik Tok social network has created a lot of controversy in this country. Some users and experts considered it a disrespect for freedom of expression, and others considered it likely to repeat this action.
In the meantime, one of the American citizens, referring to this limitation, wrote on the X platform, or the former Twitter: According to reports, AIPAC (US-Israel Public Relations Committee) has used its influence in Congress in an astonishing show to speed up Finalize the Tik Tok ban within three days. TikTok is an anti-Israel platform that breaks the traditional narrative in Gaza.
Another user addressed the incorrectness of the Congress solution and wrote: The solution here is not to ban Tik Tok, but to increase the protection of user data, and this is what we have already done. We have built in our new platform.
Another American pointed to China’s retaliation and wrote: “This is all a game of politics. When the Tiktok ban bill becomes law, wait for China’s retaliation in addition to all the bad news.” Who do you think will have the consequences of choosing Tesla or Apple? If America and China reach an agreement, then it is good.
The user also mentioned the crime situation in America and wrote: American TikTok users are very aware of why America wants to ban TikTok. The US government has no interest in solving the problem of gun violence, increasing homelessness, and increasing the cost of almost everything, but it is very eager to ban a program immediately.
An American X user wrote in response to someone who positively evaluated the ban on Tik Tok: When America bans Tik Tok, the next step should be to ban Facebook. IG, X, Telegram and WhatsApp. No need to judge their motivations, just ban everything! Also, we should never demand a ban regardless of our reason because we have once resisted it. Let us not be hypocrites.
But the reaction to the ban on Tik Tok in America was not limited only to the users of this country. This action caused the reaction of users from other countries as well. An Emirati journalist who is also in charge of Gulf News newspaper wrote about this: Even the United States sanctioned and banned the bad app TikTok, which destroys values and morals and insults the behavior and upbringing of children. When will the sanctions reach us? ?
An Arab news website also ridiculed the freedom of speech in America and published a video and wrote: Freedom of speech in America… Tik Tok to ban!
Dr. Abdullah Al-Shayji, a Kuwaiti journalist, also wrote with surprise: The American government strongly declares war against the TikTok application! Because the application belongs to a Chinese company, not an American one, and it threatens the national security of America!
The American government, with all its arrogance and bullying, went too far and crossed all the red lines and passed the law banning Tiktok by a majority vote and handed it over to the company that owns the Tiktok program. Informed.
According to this law, the Chinese company has 6 months to sell Tiktok to an American company or the Tiktok app, which is used by 170 million Americans, will be banned. Because according to American officials, this company spies on American youths and teenagers, sends their information to China, publishes false information and promotes China!
This is an action that upsets American users and violates the First Amendment of the US Constitution on freedom of speech, especially in publishing revealing clips about the war crimes and genocide in Gaza.
