    TikTok isn’t even Chinese really so look at this for what it is, Anti-China posturing to build sentiment for future conflict.

    TikTok is is only 20% owned by the founder who is a private individual and not the Chinese government, and overwhelmingly 60% of the company is owned by western finance groups, ie: Carlyle Group, General Atlantic, and Susquehanna International Group, etc

    3 of the 5 board of Directors for BiteDance are American.

      TikTok isn’t even Chinese really

      Its a product that competes with traditional American social media giants, so its (A) definitely from China and (B) definitely a powerful opioid and (C) directly responsible for... fuck, idk, Hamas? I think TikTok created Hamas.

      Americans WITH CHINESE SURNAMES!!! We all know what that means.

        Oracle Corporation, a CIA cutout, handles hosting Tiktok and moderation of what content north American users see... which means the Communist Party of China has literally taken control of the CIA!

          Wouldn't be the first time I've heard a John Bircher make this claim.
