    While I would find an American tiktok ban funny, this satire/article gives me mixed feelings because the “tiktok ban legislation” they’re trying to pass, has some real dystopic shit hidden in it, behind the veil of “banning the Chinese”.

      While China is definitely a problem to be dealt with, I think it’s become the new “Think of the children!”

          It’s not about the videos. It’s about the owners having strong ties to the government. Who wants information. If it was the videos they wouldn’t care.

        As a Canadian, I’m much more concerned with America than China. You guys are much more of a problem for the average earthling.
