Even if it's Chinese spyware, how would they ban it? You can always install the apk from a third-party source if you're on Android.

I don't use tiktok because it's bad for me and makes my older phone heat up, but it's a great app that leads you to your very niche interests if you guide the algorithm to do so - that's even despite the 'heating button' that their employees use to make favoured (creators/corps) content go viral.

I'm going to guess a large percentage cannot fully explain why the think that.

Well at least we know selling the next war will be easy. Americans still haven't learned to look past the surface of what the talking heads get paid to say.

Meanwhile the historically significant markers like wealth gap and political divide keep growing. Education, housing, and health get worse. But noooo, look at the shiny!
