It's a Dictatorship's Military Operation. The app's software is more data theft than it is actually used to run the app. They take everything stored on your device, from photos to text history. All of it. If I were to rate all apps on the basis of harm, Tiktok is miles above anything else.

Replaced in 2015, sis? Turns out Democracy is only way better 90% of the time, but at least it's capable of self-correction.

you're a fool to believe they just gave up the power to control the country. I bet you think the USA is a democra- oh shit yeah you do think that too. Its a plutocracy babe. You dont live in democracy.

Also are you insinuating China doesn't have a democracy, not is capable of self correction? You think westerners have some godgiven ability to be the bestest peoples in da world?

LMAO Bro the CCP is literally a one party system with a "president for life."

Heres a fun thought, you acknowledge that the App does have that data collection software as it has been proven by many independent software reviews, so is it worth it for a person, no matter what other country they come from, to betray their own nation's people and create security risks in order to view and post vines with music?

How does having one party rob the country of having a democracy. Democracies dont have to be your shitty splintered capitalist infighting mess you call governments. Not president for life, he can still be democratically removed from office, he just has no term limits. I think no term limits is more democratic anyway.

So what, anything that would damage the US is good, I don't care lol. Also the software may be in part owned by china, but the heads of the western tiktok division are made up of US national security "retirees" lol.

Having an actual dictator who can only be removed by his close peers makes China a lot more of an Oligopoly than a Communism, my dude. I think by strict definitions the USA is probably more socialist than the CCP.

braindead comment what the fuck

this is going in the dunktank or SRS because this is a statement worthy of ridicule.

why do you think the US is more socialist than the People's Republic of China?
