拜登下令禁用抖音

拜登總統在簽署四千多頁的政府支出預算案時, 同時批准政府機關禁止使用抖音, 將近四百萬政府員工將受到此法令之影響 。這項行動旨在阻止這家中國大陸之社群軟體對國家安全之威脅 ，也使中美兩國之矛盾繼續加深。

自2020 年川普執政以來， 就企圖禁用抖音， 但遭法院否決， 保守派人士一直希望能實施， 最近抖音也被質疑對富比士雜誌三名記者行動進行跟蹤引起各界之關注。

美國抖音公司對於此項禁令表示失望 ，並在聲明中表示將會繼續和司法部協商保密之問題。

我們要在此非常遺憾之表示， 抖音如果是全面性之關閉， 包括一般百姓都無法使用將是社群媒體之重大改變和損失。

目前世界上使用抖音之人群數以億計， 在美國使用人數也超越了許多其他社群媒體 ，可謂來勢洶洶 ，不可阻擋 ，而這公司始原於中國大陸，是西方世界所顧忌的媒體。

我們的世界真的變了， 中美之間的猜忌越來越大， 包括科技、 太空、 金融 皆在逐漸加溫競賽之中， 我們預見未來的世界將一分為二， 是禍是福， 有待時間來告訴我們了。

                                               Limited TikTok Ban In The U.S.

President Biden approved a limited TikTok ban when he signed the spending bill into law. The ban prohibits nearly 4 million federal government employees from using the TikTok app on devices owned by the government.

Given the increasing scrutiny on this social media app, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, it could be just the beginning of more challenges to come for the widely popular app.

TikTok employees improperly tracked the locations of three magazines' journalists and imported the files to the company which amounted to spying. One of their executives resigned and another was fired.

Since Trump came to power in 2020, he had tried to ban TikTok, but his efforts were rejected by the court.

We would like to express our disappointment on this and we hope that future court action will be the solution to help solve the problem.

At the present time there are billions of people in the world who are using TikTok and its use in the United States has also surpassed many of the other social media formats.

Our world has really changed. There are more and more growing suspicions between China and the United States including in technology, space and finance which have gradually heated up and fueled the fierce competition. We foresee that the world of the future will divide into two distinct parts. Whether it will be a blessing or not, only time will tell.
