"TikTok Ban Is The Way Forward" But The Japanese People Are Conflicted
TOKYO, JAPAN - This week, the United States' House of Representatives in Washington D.C has passed a bill banning TikTok in the United States, should its parent company, ByteDance, refuse a sale to an American counterpart within 6 months. While still being debated in the US Senate, this move has caused shockwaves across the tech world and now, the political world.
A local Japanese activist from a notable conservative, nationalist activist group, Arakasa 'Jones' Waru has been gaining traction on social media for his advocacy of a similar solution to the issue. "TikTok is a medium of Communist Subversion of the Japanese People!", he shouted today outside of the Diet, unaware that members were in recess for the season. "We ought to ban TikTok Now!". However, polls have shown that most Japanese people are still unaware of the TikTok Ban idea, and those who know about it, are spilt roughly equally on the idea. A man who was interviewed replied, "TikTok ban? What? How can I watch the entirety of The Sopranos for free if they ban it?"
