From the article:
“TikTok’s growing role as a news platform has sparked fears that, in the words of Ted Cruz, an American senator, it is “a Trojan horse the Chinese Communist Party can use to influence what Americans see, hear and ultimately think”.

- ravenstine 4y agoMaybe you have the opinion that Ted Cruz's policy is corrosive to democracy (however you define that) and more so than that of TikTok, but neither the article nor anyone in the thread suggested anything contrary. The article is remarkably neutral, considering it's from the Economist. So what is your point? That no one should be concerned about TikTok until the eternal evil of the Republican party has been thoroughly addressed?
