The levels of McCarthyism and apparent Sinophobia in this thread astounds me.
“The kids are watching communist propaganda from the CCP!”
Americans on TikTok watch content from other Americans. I know a big complaint the government had was the overflow of support for the Palestinian people compared to Israel.
Are you guys sure you’ve even used the app before? I used it some time ago and it was just other Americans doing dumb stuff or making political videos.
People really just believe the first thing their government tells them and believes it so strictly? “They said it is a national security concern so I believe them and must spread their message!”
Seems to me that TikTok had Americans on there sharing anti-Israel and anti-America content on there with other Americans. Didn’t Ted Cruz bring that up specifically to the CEO of TikTok as a problem?

Same for me, but I’m also extremely confused at the naivety of many commenters here who think ByteDance is somehow a company independent from China government and it’s only duty is to make money and that it somehow more important to have freedom of foreign business than freedom from foreign interference.
