    The question isn’t about affording it, the questions is why China would give up such a valuable Intel gathering and propaganda tool? They wouldn’t sell it for all the tea in China.

      They’d give it up because the U.S. Government would force them to. That’s what OP is talking about

        They’ve already said they would shut down operations in America rather than sell.

          And hopefully they’ll do that. The shit you can find on Twitter is alot more sick than TikTok, and you can be sure Elon would make it the same shitshow.

        Aren’t they “silently” migrating to a different but identical app called lemonade or something like that?
