Capitalists never play fair, lol.
Can't wait to see some stupid western company take the place of tiktok then all the retards complaining about tiktok suddenly shutting up.
They don't realize there's a trade war going on and they're just useful idiots in it.
TikTok is cancer regardless of who owns it.
And at the same time if you preach so much free market economics then you should just learn to live with it and don't buy the product if you don't like it
Please show me an example where I

Yes, there is a trade war.
Don't be naive about NSA and US propaganda/surveillance.
There doesn't need to have NSA propaganda when China themselves say they are state capitalists and allow billionaires to flourish.
Don’t fall for the straw man.
It's not a strawman, commie.

Part of maintaining a free market is regulations that punish anti-competitive behaviour.
Sucks for the rich, but I, the average consumer do not care about what some rich guy's stocks are doing. I will always go for the cheaper, more accessible, better product.
Nah. I don't think Bytedance sells. The big enchilada is the source code and that's not getting sold because there's 6 Billion more people they can get on the app.
There are several right-wing groups eager to buy it, which is 100% why they're going after it.
Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook. They're going to control all of it soon.
Din they'll be requiring expensive identity verification for online accounts to make the fediverse financially unsustainable.
