Summarization
The CEO of TikTok threatens American politicians against speaking out against his app, claiming that a ban would take TikTok away from its millions of users. Some influencers migrated to Instagram in the event of a ban on TikTok. The security of the country should be a top priority, and the algorithm is protected by the Chinese government, making it difficult for the app to be sold to American companies. The issue is about being an empire in the 21st century, including Taiwan. Some critics claim that there is no threat and that no law has been broken. Others argue that it is possible to tell people not to use the app instead of imposing a ban.

| 1639252147396067331 | @niubi TikTok had hundreds of millions of users. When it vanished, some influencers were interviewed for a few days on and off about how a ban on the app would affect their lives. And then this too disappeared from the news and everyone’s minds. Easy decision. Most migrated to Insta. | 87 |

| 1638852770672398336 | @isaacstonefish @niubi What threat, it's just facts. The app can't be sold to american companies as the algorythm is protected by the chinese government. So banning the app unless it's sold only give you one outcome, that is banning the app. | 48 |
