      It’s not the same. China wants to fuck up the American youth. That’s why their version of tiktok is so different from ours. But you already knew that I’m sure

        Nah, I don’t use tiktok, Chinese or otherwise so I wouldn’t know the difference. But you’re missing the point.

        • USA organisations abuse social media to spy on and influence citizens.
        • Chinese organisations abuse social media to spy on and influence citizens.

        And yet, you claim one is inheritly worse than the other or should be preferered. To me, they are equally bad. If anything, the USA manipulation is worse - they can use that knowledge more easily and to greater effect than an attacker on the other side of the world.

          Are the American companies doing it in pursuit of destabilizing the United States population for the betterment of the CCP and its interests?
