President Donald Trump said his administration is considering banning the short video app TikTok in the U.S. as one possible way to retaliate against China over its handling of the coronavirus.

Trump’s comments on Tuesday came one day after Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said officials were looking at barring the app, whose parent company is China’s ByteDance Ltd. Asked to elaborate Wednesday, Pompeo declined to repeat the threat of a ban but said instead that the examination of TikTok was part of a broader effort to protect American citizens’ private data.

“It’s something we’re looking at, yes,” Trump said when asked in an interview with Gray Television’s Greta Van Susteren about Pompeo’s earlier remarks. “It’s a big business. Look, what happened with China with this virus, what they’ve done to this country and to the entire world is disgraceful.”

If he does that and bans social media he effectively saved this country. He made America “great again”

Yes and few months ago Boris Johnson was considering decriminalizing the failure to pay the TV license fee. He didn't do shit in the end.

So, I'm not going to pay much attention to what Trump "considers" doing.

a US company would just step up with an equivalent, it's not like he's banning things that broadcast short video clips. before TikTok there was Vine.co and so on
