This is all about market share, Instagram, Facebook and Google are losing your advertising revenue because of TikTok. This is all about weakening TikTok and protecting American interests. Instagram, Facebook and Google have ridiculous data protection! This is not about data but about economic interests!

I trust TikTok more in the hands of the Chinese than an American company. American tech companies censor opinions like crazy.

An app that gives a real impression of what the populace thinks is very bad for them because it makes their propaganda on the FANG sites less effective.
