    Oh wow if only there was an American version of TikTok.

    One that didn't get axed in an attempt to cut losses due to the massive influx of racists.

      What's wacky is that TikTok is the American version of TikTok. Chinese regulations force their version (Douyin) to be totally different.

      TikTok is already fully controlled by the CIA tho… what else do they want? (source)

      Like if you actually read the law itself, it’s clearly about expanding the PATRIOT act and the president’s powers over web based platforms.

      It has nothing to do with TikTok.
