Anybody that believes that this is about protecting US citizens from being spied on by China is stupid as fukk. Nobody believes that crock of Shyt. Its about Narrative control. This the same country that allows Chinese to buy up ridiculous acres of our homeland without batting a eye.

Now I'm supposed to believe they give a damn about my privacy and my data? :russ:
What narratives occur on TikTok that don't occur elsewhere?

I'm genuinely asking I've seen reels from it but I've never installed the app

New generation would rather fight to twerk on social media on a chink app than fight to establish a non-CCCP based app just like it and control their own narrative. I welcome the new Chinese regime in what was America in 20 years…

It's basically impossible to start your own app and make it big. It will eventually get swallowed up (no diddy) by the American elites. Instagram Snapchat all those apps were taken over

No one says this. Tiktok being a security threat gives the US justification to ban the app. They'd ban Facebook if it were owned by a hostile state too.

The US fights CCP backed chinese hackers everyday. There's a new story like every month about our back and forth with Chinese cyber attacks. It would be irresponsible for the US to ignore tiktok.

Grown ass men in here crying about an app made for children.

I’m calling it, Trump going to come in last minute on some shyt to look like he’s going to stand in the way between Free Speech and censorship.

If it’s banned dude going to write some policy to bring it back.

Somebody said they going to photoshop Trump holding up TikTok with his fist in the air. shyt is WWE.
It’s above him now :yeshrug:
