The CCP won’t give it up, no matter what the leftist Axios says.

Would be nice if they just made it illegal for all of big tech to spy on any American not just some Commie spyware app.

I heard the algorithm will be under the control of an American scientist named Liu Wen Qianxi, PhD from Stanford. All is good.

Greed, ignorance and stupidity. BAN it. Charlie Kirk would be alive today, (if we believe the official fib story) if tik tok didn’t help normalize 10000s of demonic granny freaks. Tik tok is chinas weapon in the Dopium wars, and American androgynouns mongrel mutts of low iq—which is the majority— are getting even stupider on that crap. The website must be blocked and bots on all social media must be hunted down and removed

Yes, of course I did. I don't know how I did that. But then again, so many of those protesting Trump are old and white, so...

Oh, I totally agree. If I was in charge, the moderators would be rounded up, too. Then again, so many are in Europe and other countries. You can tell by the times they are active.

But this is real. This is a whole new ballgame. Would the trans movement be this strong without social media? This and gayming are being used by the CIA to recruit kids. Some say for Ukraine others say for disruption in this country.

Can you please educate me on why Tiktok is better than Reddit?

I don't know if it is. Those are two of the most reprehensible webshites out there. Tik Tok is addictive, monkey-brain mass mind control, while reddit promotes left wing groupthink while stifling any dissent through intimidation, humiliation and tyrannical moderation.
