They won't. The entire point of this charade is to remind Americans we can't expect any better than instagram or youtube.
- xp84 10mo agolol are you really suggesting that China, out of the goodness of their hearts, made TikTok with the objective to give Americans “better” trash social media sites?
- MangoToupe 10mo agoNo, of course not. They're simply more competent.
- johnnyanmac 10mo agoYes. Because the US forgot what soft power and actual nationalism entails. China didn't. Its not out of goodwill, but the objective of "don't be ad ridden slop maximizing shareholder gain" was a bar you didn't even need to step over
