    Western countries have been making money by sending there businesses to China for decade's to make money. Even during the last few years during lockdowns people have been buying cheap goods from China qnd making alot of money from it. Anybody who thought that having millions of people especially young people think it was good or ethical to encourage such trash deserves all they get. The western governments moan now about the China threat but its OK now as they have already made there mega bucks from it. Pathetic. Most average humans in the UK were talking about this years ago. Weirdly those educated politicians didn't give a crap qs they were on the easy money bandwagon. Isn't it strange that it will not be the posh talking Rees Moggs of the country that will suffer. Nope its us working class muppets.

    They ban tiktok because this is how they will keep people blind when a war with China starts and usa, uk, and others will get involved

    Please ban it for everyone in the UK, I've never seen such an aggressive advertising campaign than when tiktok released. I knew it was trouble back then but it's way worse than I thought, it's been used to dumb people down, brainwash, create narratives and gather massive amounts of data. Not even China knew how effective it would be in damaging Western society, social media is detrimental to humanity and tiktok epitomises the problem. Like with Russian oil it's another enemy we made stronger when we should be keeping their influence at bay

    the fact they used whatsapp as well which has been compromised many times is hilarious to me

    Will it also ban any porn, and photo taking at illegal parties ?

    Ticktock , nothing but woke and lefty millennial propaganda. God help us if this is the future generation to come.😢

    Nothing to do with China and all to do with the Hancock revelations. Politicians really do think the electorate are stupid.

    Sensible idea – gives the spy's more reason to hack officials personal phone and dig up the real dirty truths.

    What a pity. One less social media outlet on which talentless and corrupt, Tory chump politicians can embarrass themselves.

    uk made devices

    open source software

    problem solved

  16. @jamesw2414

    It's probably tokenistic, as Ella says, but I've banned it on my devices anyway.

  17. @martyevans1

    January 1, 2024 at 4:16 am

    How about we ban it completely.

    January 1, 2024 at 4:16 am

    It should be completely banned from every device period.
    Tiktok was built for nefarious spying & propaganda purposes, witch is well documented behaviour.

    Better Banning WhatsApp ON Phones …… MPs Are Not Allowed To Use Their Personal Phones To Have Decision On Parliament Business….. Ponders Mat Hancock ? And 34 PMs Texts During COVID. !

  22. @fatzmybug

    January 1, 2024 at 4:16 am

    Nothing to do with China but rather suckerberg trying to get the younger generation onto Facebook as he is losing out on a fortune. Fb/insta already has access to your data so why now worry about tiktok specifically.

  23. @captainflipflop8805

    Surprise surprise the British do exactly as they are told by their American masters.
    What about banning the American social media sites too??? Considering the dirty yanks interfere more than any other country spending countless amounts of money funding organisations like the NED and their fake NGO's spread disinformation and push coloured revolutions!!! Just like they did in Ukraine funnily enough.

    Why would Government devices even need TikTok? Those MPs really are working hard to justify that pay rise lol

  31. @ganados0

    January 1, 2024 at 4:16 am

    Ban social media in general, it's bad for society and gives authority to the undeserved.

  32. @devonsteve2347

    January 1, 2024 at 4:16 am

    WHY is it on Official Devices in the first place!?

  33. @bigboobiessogood

    January 1, 2024 at 4:16 am

    Any government official that even has TikTok on their phone should be sacked straight away because they're not fit for purpose.

  34. @applecorp

    January 1, 2024 at 4:16 am

    Shame it's not banned country wide. Disgusting, cancerous app. The fact Ella thinks it's just people watching "cat videos" is beyond worrying.

  35. @Emma-cp5re

    So they should, it’s all brain washing kids with left wing bull sh*t
