Employees with the firm, Targeted Victory, worked to undermine TikTok through a nationwide media and lobbying campaign portraying the fast-growing app, owned by the Beijing-based company ByteDance, as a danger to American children and society, according to internal emails shared with The Washington Post.


The Washington Post's Chinese masters are upset by all of this.

Chinese intelligence laws state in writing that all information/data from their companies are turned over to the state. No exceptions. There is a reason the Trump government wanted to ban it.

Facebook is a tool of the deep state. TikTok is a tool of the CCP. Republicans are tools for the highest bidder, and sometimes for no reason at all.

Facebook is like Bill Clinton.

Its evil sick and depraved, and when it first came out everyone saw it as liberal...but as time has gone on, when compared to the new guys, it looks a lot closer to the center as new guys are completely whacked out.

I read somewhere that in china tiktok is used primarily to teach kids math and physics.
In America it is used to turn young girls into whores and the general young population into various freaks.

there is also something more sinister going on with tiktok in America but i haven’t the details

Right. I’m amazed how almost everyone is treating TikTok as if it’s just another entertainment site. As you noted, TikTok is a ChiCom asset.

I won’t say we’re a stupid country. And that’s because “stupid” is too mild a word for it.

Joe Biden hires Tik Tok influencers to propagandize Americans.

It’s become quite a tangled web.

Why wouldn’t Targeted Victory take money for something they would have been doing anyway?

Here’s the full list of TikTok school challenges.
A list circulating online suggests these are the challenges for each month of the school year:

September: Vandalize school bathrooms

October: Smack a staff member

November: Kiss your friend’s girlfriend at school

December: Deck the halls and show your balls

January: Jab a breast

February: Mess up school signs

March: Make a mess in the courtyard or cafeteria

April: “Grab some eggz” (another stealing challenge)

May: Ditch day

June: Flip off in the front office

July: Spray a neighbor’s fence

But your observations alone are sufficient and correct.

Trump banned Tik Tok as the spy app it is.

Brandon of course reversed course.
