    I'm sure that's part of the issue here, it's way easier for the us to censor us-owned platforms

      Not really. TikTok US's leadership is full of ex-natsec ghouls.

      The issue is that it's way easier to censor/propagandize overseas on us-owned platforms.

        And even that's not enough control for them.

        Anyway what I meant was that you can't just agitate on facebook because it's already in the fully-tamed state that they're mad tiktok isn't in.

      TikTok is administered and run in the USA and complies with all US directives. They probably have a CIA consultant on staff and an NSA department that sends over the data to them.
