How concerned are you about TikTok and its recent US ban?

Transcript

00:00I'm not too fussed. I think it's just a bit, it's very extreme. There's worse apps on there,

00:05which, especially for the US, I could definitely be dealing with. Because there's lots of stuff,

00:11like, I feel like they've banned TikTok so quickly, like it's this big global epidemic.

00:16But they didn't do anything about COVID quick enough. And they've not done anything about

00:20the gun violence anywhere near as quick enough. So they've got bigger fish to fry, I think.

00:26It's based in Singapore, but it's financed by China. And I think

00:30Trump's decision is quite good. That is my personal point of view, because

00:37we can use our own apps, you know, and everything depends. We don't know what Trump knows,

00:42you know. So he has the, you know, like, he can look into the files, secret classified,

00:48and he knows what's going on. The owner of the app is actually Singaporean, I believe.

00:53So there's a lot going about. So I think it's much bigger,

00:57again, it's much bigger than they're making it out to be.
