Government did not care what happened on Tiktok during the KIA nonsense. Tiktok is now more controlled and cleaned up and became a new source for young people. Now the government wants to ban it. It is much better than before and the whole time it was Chines owned. So now, you have to argue against two points.

  1. It was OK Asian people owned it before. Why not now?
  2. The content is moderated now and adults no longer complain it's worse than Instagram, Twitter, or the racist cesspool of a comment section that is Youtube.

You can be critical of the CCP but also see the increased urgency in "fixing tiktok" after US/Israel propaganda to hide Palestine genocide got stymied by tiktok.
