The US can not tolerate competition.
Tiktok gained audience and market share because it happened to be a better product in its niche. Inventing any excuses to ban it is unadulterated hypocrisy.
All the words like "censorship", "free", "CCP", "national security", "china bad" are just euphemisms for childish protectionism of an oversized ego.

Some of us think all social media is trash for the mind and society, and think it's doubleplusungood when a hostile foreign power controls the algo. You're implying that I root for Instagram. That's not the angle.
- wpasc 4y agoLet's say TikTok was the same exact company founded in another country, do you believe that the conversation about banning it would be the same? With some exceptions (maybe Russia, for example), I seriously doubt it.
