There are an awful lot of Chinese products that are not illegal, what specifically about TikTok are We concerned with? It isn’t because it’s a pair of pliers or a notebook. it is because it has been decided it is too dangerous for that government to wield against society. again, if it’s too dangerous for them, why is it magically not too dangerous for the wannabe kings behind US social media companies? they have at various times, 1) been caught manipulating citizens, 2) outright admitted their desires to strongly influence politics 3) refused to cooperate with elected officials investigating abuse 4) actively resisted any kind of oversight so again i’ll say, im not convinced it is truly this dangerous, but We have declared that it is terrifyingly powerful. if it is this dangerous, it should absolutely not be in the hands of people who have already proven time and time again they’ll use it against us and really don’t want any oversight or transparency of their actions.
