Better question: Will the world rejoice in having a social media network without Americans?

It’s already banned in Afghanistan, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Taiwan, Denmark, European Union, France, India, Indonesia, Netherlands, Nepal, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Somalia, and United Kingdom.

A lot of these are partial bans. Canada for example only bans it for government issued phones which makes sense, there shouldn't be any apps let alone social media apps on those devices.

Same with Australia. Seems a bit disingenuous to say it's banned, it's a government worker policy.

[–] Instigate@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago

And it’s also only banned on work devices. There’s no ban on government employees having TikTok on their personal phones, although I personally don’t.

[–] alci@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Sure. Exactly the same in France.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah same for Australia.

That's very inaccurate information.

It's basically only the government officials who can't have the app installed on their phones, for security reasons.

That's it.
