They're spouting typical tankie BS.
- mcpar-land 3y agoBelieve me, I'm not a tankie. I just watched the congressional hearing where a Republican senator repeatedly asked the TikTok CEO, Shou Chew, if he had Chinese citizenship, if he was a member of the CCP, etc. etc. with Shou repeatedly saying that he's not Chinese, he's from Singapore. That's not measured concern about TikTok possibly being an arm of China's surveillance state, that's just being racist. The Republican half of the bipartisan support for legislating TikTok isn't from concern about dopamine-pushing algorithms and misinformation, it's just xenophobia.
- humansareok1 3y agoTom Cotton literally has brain damage but there are indeed legitimate concerns about TikTok's relationship with the CCP. It's not racist or xenophobic. You are just stupid and spend too much time on buzzfeed.
