Let us be honest, ruining TikTok's largest user base was part of the massive anti-China US propaganda going on during this US-China trade war. While TikTok did this, surprisingly no news outlet or pseudo privacy stans posted about the 53 other apps that did the same thing, majority of which were USA news outlet official apps and games.
