Yeah and what do you think Russia for example sees almost every American "communiction platform" as? And it's not as if they don't have a reason, like every american platform that is every other major social media that isn't tiktok is censored, controlled and swarming with bots doing narrative control and spam. It really is the height of arrogance and hypocrisy to say that TiKTok is the real pressing problem. I don't even use TikTok, but I find it so fucking disgusting how every "freespeech freedomlover" comes out of the woodwork to demand it's shutting it down just to enforce American social media monopoly over the world. Even if Bytedance has bent over backwards to prove that there isn't any misconduct (of things that US based tech companies are routinely mandated to do for US gov, state department and the intelligence services), because it's only bad if somebody else does the excact same thing to us as we would have done to them.
