Y’all be so wrong it’s crazy. nikkas is making mad money off the app..and most of its content is aimed at adults. The app is also very helpful at times where you can look up anything and probably find a video to it.

You can already do that with YouTube and get better results. I agree with you though that a lot of people will care about this

:unimpressed:
Yet, his campaign team still uses Tiktok for outreach to young voters. If I'm Bytedance I'll order Tiktok to reduce engagement to all accounts belonging to Biden's team and Democrats and put videos encouraging young people not to vote to everyone's timeline as a fukk you to Biden.

The demographic that would be the most affected is already too young to vote. :russ:

I have no problem with Americans receiving foreign propaganda as long as it’s the stated purpose of the media that is distributing it.

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) (22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq.) is a United States law that imposes public disclosure obligations on persons representing foreign interests.[1][2] It requires "foreign agents"—defined as individuals or entities engaged in domestic lobbying or advocacy for foreign governments, organizations, or persons("foreign principals")—to register with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and disclose their relationship, activities, and related financial compensation.[2]



Does the Chinese government own or control ByteDance or TikTok?​

Chew has emphatically told Congress that ByteDance is not owned or controlled by the Chinese government.

However, like most other Chinese companies, ByteDance is legally compelled to establish an in-house Communist Party committee composed of employees who are party members.

Zhang Fuping, the vice president and editor-in-chief of the company’s Chinese operation, serves as its secretary of the party committee. The committee often holds sessions to study the party and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. One session in 2018 was joined by Zhang Yiming and his management team, according to the Beijing government.

Also, like its competitors, ByteDance has had to allow the Chinese government to take a so-called “golden share” in one of its key subsidiaries.





Does the U.S. government get to sit in on Facebook meetings? :skip:

we have corruption with extra steps, make no mistake about regulatory capture has been in full effect for decades and government is a revolving door of business/lobbyists to regulatory agencies, and legislative bodies.

the CCP being on the board of companies in china ain't no secret and if we're in opposition to it, they should have advocated a trade embargo. this move by the U.S government has just deemed that foreign owned online services can only be come so successful in the U.S before they use the government for anti competitive measures.
