Why is Chinese tiktok different than that in the states then?
Because the USA strong armed them into giving their platform handling to Oracle Corp, a top tier US govt contractor.
But since pro-palestine cries can't be silenced on TikTok as easily as Zio media, taking control of the platform is no longer enough
No, it's literally a different app in China.
It's the same thing, the international one was called TikTok and the US version is handled by Oracle
It's called douyin or something idk in China but it's the same shit
Maybe it says something that China limits access to their kids
Seems like a bit of a digital smallpox blanket.
