Is Trump Banning Fortnite?

I'm not a fan of the idea that the Chinese government could have access to my data (I'm also not American, it possibly should be noted)...but let's not pretend for a second this executive order has anything to do with protecting his citizen's data. Someone likely told him that this was the app used to mobilise folks to register interest for his rally and not show up. They used that to address a couple of apps which may well be a security risk with a President with such a short attention span. As for the apps themselves, I personally would prefer no foreign government held my data...but I'd rather if they must for it to be an American company than a Chinese one that could be compelled to share that with their government.

@crazyjivin Like I said, I'd prefer no foreign government had access to my data, and that includes the US, but I'd still much rather the US than China. Of course, that distinction gets a lot more blurred as time goes on..!

If we have to suffer temporarily to preserve freedoms of the future, I'm all for suddenly banning these companies from operating in the US

it said, for tencent no purchases can be made, this doesnt seem to far off from all the stop European countries have banned as well in gaming.

US specific politics aside. Am I the only one that finds it disturbing that China is in such control of the game industry. Maybe developers that claim to be so pro active should get on coming up with ways to rectify this at some point in the future. You can’t claim your a part of the solution when you actively choose to get in bed with one of the most inhumane regimes in the world.

All the little trolls praying to their Orange god, China is not a boogeyman and look up the word scapegoat then ask yourself why your president thinks blaming China absolves his mismanagement of our health crisis
