    My main reason is I’m an American, China (probably) can’t do shit to me. But here I’m subject to so much shit America can do legally and illegally, with zero repercussions.

    If China fucked me in particular over, odds are it would at least spark debate here. If America spied on my messages and stopped me from protesting something, that’s just a Tuesday afternoon here.

    The only reason why Congress wants to ban it, is due to pressure from news agencies and the government, because TikTok can’t be controlled by the CIA. You can’t manufacture consent of the people if the content comes from someone else you don’t control.

      no, tiktok is controlled by an adversial power that intentionally manipulates what you see to shape your opinions. theyve already blatantly lied to all of their users by a forced pop-up of what the bill against them contains. you can protest in america, you cant in china. if you think so, please go and say xi jinping is a stupid loser in beijing and see how long til you get arreated
