Just proving US government right tbh.

So, US said: "TikTok is too powerful and has too much influence" and then people continue to be influenced. I kid you not, most trending rednote tiktoks right now are about price comparison between China and US with topics like: "veggies are like 2$ in China when they are 6$ in the US" with absolutely zero awareness of how economies work:

• median hourly salary in the US: 27 USD
• median hourly salary in China: 5 USD

Chinese vegetables are more expensive.

You could attribute this to people just being financially stupid but I think there's definitely some truth from US government pov that China has a lot of propaganda power over US citizens and I say this as non-american myself as it's quite apparent as a 3rd party observer.

Personally I still think low level laws that protect privacy of all americans is the way to go but America will never sacrifice free market money like that.

Man, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts must be really shit if the TikTokers didn't even consider them for a second lmao

Are they allowed to talk about tiananmen massacre I wonder.

This might have an interesting side effect. Western voices and opinions being shared enmasse with Chinese youths on platforms they're comfortable with. It will be interesting to see how the Chinese government responds to this

I’m amazed at all the CCP dick sucking here. It’s like I stumbled into r/Sino

操你中國政府

That backfired real good, didn't it?

Not really surprised. Most Tik Tok users are braindead.

Good for them. People should be free to live their lives.
