minus-squareivanafterall ☑️linkEnglish8•1 month agoI’m just a bystander, China sucks, but referencing a NY Post opinion piece feels a bit like using a Fox News segment as a source. They’re pretty trash.
minus-squareAwesomeLowlanderlinkfedilinkEnglish6•1 month agoThere’s individual sources for practically every paragraph in that article, so I’m not seeing the issue in this case.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•1 month agoOf course it does, and for two major reasons: Chinese law is very different from American law China’s domestic propaganda interests are quite different than it’s international propaganda interests

I don’t think it matters at all how tiktok is actually being managed or moderated in the US - Americans simply do not trust anything Chinese. The cold war never ended.
