I don't like tik tok, but still, it's too obvious that it's politically motivated restrictions.So called "misinformation" that spreading in tik tok is really very inconvenient and damages western media propaganda effectiveness.

Hope ByteDance doesn't sell. We need an alternative to the Apple-Google-Meta-Twitter propaganda storm. Yeah, even if it's Chinese. At least it's not under the same NSA-CIA control as all the US social media.

Anonymous, 27 Apr 2024The highest number of killings of important persons and politicians is done by CIA.
Move on ... moreWhat’s the names for China’s agencies like the CIA and FBI?
Hahaha. I’ll wait while you look it up. That’s how ignorant you are about China. It’s popular and trendy to hate the CIA because people usually aren’t informed enough to know much else.

Yawn. I see the poorly informed anti-American crowd is out in force here. Maybe look up how many apps and sites are banned in China before posting. Even this site is influenced by China and will delete your comment if you post certain things about the country’s leader. The most populous country in the world has banned tik tok, and guess what, everyone survived.

Good for TikTok! The American market has become incredibly restrictive for companies, more so than China's.

Good for TikTok. It's frightening to see how restrictive the US government has made its market. It's almost exclusively a government controlled blob hiding behind a handful of company names. Despicable!

It's better for tiktok to leave / exit the US market.
It's all about acquiring or obtaining tiktoks secret sauce algorithm.
One the secret sauce algorithm is obtained, they can finally throw you tons and tons of ads .
Ads that disrupt your viewing pleasure, ads that are user specific targeted, ads that are loud and have annoying music / jingles, ads that offer scams, ads that have malware, ads that collect and steal data and personal info.
Also, these companies will add an arbitration clause in their TOS since they can not be bothered to protect your personal information if they get hacked and stolen.

Anonymous, 26 Apr 2024As opposed to guns being legal to own in America which is more of an issue, but sure, America ... moreWhy does one exclude the other?
Guns kill in seconds. Tik Tok kill in years. They're both despicable, but at least you can use a gun for defense, you can't use Tik Tok for anything other than brainrot.
