    Except Tik Tok hasn’t been banned yet. And it’s not being banned for even remotely the same reason.

    The issue with Tik Tok is that it’s owned by a company with ties to the CCP. The CCP, conversly, has “the great firewall”, which is directly intended to facilitate Chinese propaganda efforts to control their people.

      Lmao. You people think CCP will use your data to control you? No way your American government can do the same, right?

      China built their firewall to protect themselves from foreign “disinformation” campaigns. Just like we are now.

      You’re kinda stupid if you think big nation states outside of China do not participate in what China does. China learned from other influential countries as the CCP are the new kids on the block
