I dunno about all this. This seems like a move motivated by tech industries to make China pay for the data like everybody else instead of having their own personal data vacuum. If the problem was privacy, there would be reform legislation coupled with the move If the problem is "China shows its youths this, but shows us that", I mean, yeah, China has regulation around how its youths interact with social media; meanwhile, over in America, we're just gonna keep on with the running social experiment of what happens with unmitigated social media framing the way young people interact w/ reality, and I mean actually building first-hand experience and reflecting on that, not second-hand rendering of such. Anecdotally, my experience with their algo is that you are in complete control. It adapts faster than any other platform to my training it, whereas IG continues to insist on showing me things in my explore section I've routinely told it not to. Whether or not the Chinese government is tipping the scale of content distribution, I mean, do they really need to do anything, or was America already divisive? Blocking TikTok at any rate probably won't stop that trajectory, our own political sphere, as Jesse Ventura once said, is a sports game in the first place. Its one thing to block the app on government devices just in case, the wholesale ban doesn't add up to me though.
