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.

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.
