I think the American mass media has been producing a lot of propaganda against TikTok in preparation for a full ban. Turn the public against TikTok and the public will demand it banned.

It wouldn't surprise me if Facebook was behind this as there are reports of Zuckerberg paying media companies to smear TikTok.[0]

Nothing is beneath Zuckerberg.

Hopefully this conversation quickly turns to social media and surveillance capitalism as a whole. Let's not do nothing because one shithead is trying to oust a competitor. The enemy of my enemy, yadda, yadda yadda.

TikTok has always been spyware from China obfuscated with clever marketing
