The State Duma told Pompeo the bad news about the TikTok

State Duma deputy Anton Gorelkin (United Russia) considers it impossible to block TikTok in the United States. According to the news agency, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said that the use of a social network to exchange short videos TikTok a Chinese company ByteDance in the United States may be banned. I have news for Michael Pompeo. It is impossible to really block the popular mass service, if users do not want it. The story with the Telegram confirms this, Gorelkin noted in the TG channel. It is one thing when Hindus who are angry with China begin to lower the ratings of Chinese applications in hundreds of millions of dislikes, the parliamentarian argues. This is effective, but this is a real impulse of the masses. And quite another when, in the way of user interest, the state is trying to set technical barriers that can be bypassed in two seconds, he said. The Linkedin blocking in Russia can be considered held only because this social network was, by and large, no one needs it, the deputy added. With TikCurrent, this will not work in any country, Gorelkin is sure.
