This is a really naïve world view—not that TikTok isn't potentially a channel of propaganda, but that we somehow are free of propaganda in the US. The Trump administration is a source of propaganda. The Democratic party is a source of propaganda. Propaganda is basically any speech from any biased source. The only significant difference between China and the US isn't that one practices propaganda but that China limits their propaganda to only one source.
Blacklisting "propaganda" from sources you don't like is in fact censorship. If we start blocking China because we don't like what they are telling us, why stop there? Why not start blocking propaganda from the Trump critics.
