Here’s what’s actually going on with the TikTok fight right now.

Here’s what’s actually going on with the TikTok fight right now.

Deep State toadies are taking advantage of anti-China sentiment to transfer TikTok’s surveillance apparatus from China’s evil surveillance state to the U.S. government’s evil surveillance state.

TikTok isn’t going to be banned, because neither the CCP-run Chinese government nor the CCP-owned U.S. government wants to lose such a valuable tool for spying on Americans and poisoning the minds of their children. Instead, the corrupt U.S. intelligence bureaucracy wants control of TikTok, which is why it included the divestment mandate.

Only a handful of U.S. companies are capable of buying and managing TikTok, and they already function as appendages of the Deep State surveillance apparatus.

It’s not that the U.S. government wants to protect you from spying and data theft and manipulation. If only. No, the people behind the Russian collusion hoax, and the Kavanaugh hoax, and the natural origin COVID hoax, and the illegal warrantless spying, and the forced transing of your children—they want to be the ones spying on you and stealing your data and poisoning the minds of your children.

Now, should a spying and subversion tool used by our communist enemies to destroy us be banned? Yeah, obviously, for the same reason that we never would’ve allowed the Soviet Union to infiltrate our homes with their own radios and television sets during the Cold War. But that’s not what’s happening here.

Your government won’t even shoot down a Communist Chinese spy balloon, or prevent the Communist Chinese government from gobbling up your farmland, or stop the Communist Chinese government from stealing the products you make, dumping them into your market at below-market prices, and then driving you out of business. Heck, when the literal Chinese spy chief bought off the Biden family by funneling a million dollars to Hunter Biden, DOJ didn’t even bat an eyelash.

There’s no evidence anywhere that the regime that currently controls America has any interest in fighting off China’s attempts to cripple our country economically, militarily, or diplomatically. But suddenly they want you to believe they’re deeply concerned about TikTok.

I’m just not buying it, and neither should you.

If the government can assert more power over the 1A won’t pockets be greased for votes and power?

So the ChiComs own the Bidens, and they’d give up control of their spy network? Not likely.
They are all in the club, and will share the info, but they’ll never give any access up.
This article makes it sound like Nanzi is demanding to take it away from the ChiComs. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

“Deep State toadies are taking advantage of anti-China sentiment to transfer TikTok’s surveillance apparatus from China’s evil surveillance state to the U.S. government’s evil surveillance state. “

Absolutely right on the money. This is about more government control over subjects and the internet.

I don’t get the surveilling angle. Seems like a better tool for brainwashing.

The US government needs to state the problems and give the Chinese a chance to correct them.

I’ve heard some American companies don’t like TikTok’s ad pricing, but the proper fix for that is to lower American company ad pricing.

Just this morning it was announced that — of all people — Steven Mnuchin is angling to buy it. Go figure.
