Korean netizens are talking about the U.S. starting to block TikTok.
On May 17th, Montana's governor signed a bill banning TikTok in the state. The state governor tweeted that he banned the social media app in Montana "to protect Montanans' personal and private data from the Chinese Communist Party."
While the law is facing constitutional challenges before taking effect, Montana officially became the first state to pass a bill banning TikTok. Shortly after the news went out, Korean netizens shared their thoughts about the news. Some of the comments include:
"Is the governor Republican? This seems what Trump used to do."
"TikTok is getting banned in other countries and states as well."
"Good riddance. TikTok made all the harmful things go viral not to mention the privacy issue."
"Doesn't this go against democracy?"
"I wonder if people are going to comply. Didn't they riot against the mask mandate for encroaching personal liberty?"
"I hope Korea bans it too."
"What would happen to people who make their living off of TikTok?"
"I guess it's not as prevalent in our country but it seems TikTok basically took over in the U.S."

Turn around the TOPIC. What American Apps does China blocks? What Korean products App blocks in China?
1) Do you know that China blocked Google since 2010?
2) Do you know that KAKAO Talk is blocked in China?
3) Do you know that in China blocked all American SSN from Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Reddit? China copies the idea from these major SSN and creates WEIBO.
4) Do you know that WEVERSE and BUBBLE is blocked in China?
5) When I travel in China, even my productivity tools are blocked in China like Gmail, Dropbox and all Google Apps. I had to use a VPN, to bypass these and an international SIM card from HongKong.
In conclusion, CHINA had blocked a lot of US, Japan & Korea's products. While China is trying to get US businesses without paying taxes.
