This just in - companies that want to continue doing business in country must follow country’s laws. More at 10.
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.
