It was NEVER about national security. It’s about our corrupt politicians being loyal to Israel & to Benjamin Netanyahu (Bibi) in which he wants TikTok banned because he doesn’t want people catching on to his atrocity for genocide against Palestinians & Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, etc. (& our politicians are ALSO at fault for funding & supporting Israel & Bibi for genocide in general).

Plus in which Mark Zuckerberg has paid off politicians to push them to ban TT because he wants to get rid of it’s biggest competition, all because FaceBook is floundering.

“Communist Chinese Party.” Yikes, spoken like someone being brainwashed & Indoctrinated by corrupt, career politicians & corporate, mainstream media/legacy media.

Get some critical thinking skills & learn to think for yourself instead of being blinded by them & by statism.

TikTok is very different in China than it is in the US or for that matter, the rest of the world - this is INTENTIONAL.

BytDance, who own both TikTok and Douyin (China’s version of TikTok), offers a different version of the social media app that is unavailable to the rest of the world, especially for children. They ship an addictive, opium version oversea and have a sanitized, sweeter version for Chinese consumption.

In China kids, if they're under 14 years old, will see science experiments they can do at home, museum exhibits, patriotism videos and educational and animal videos.

Most adult fare is about beauty and shopping, not too different than the US, but is far more tightly controlled.

China recognized years ago that it's easy to influence a child's development by getting in really early - nice patriots at home and brain dead, shopping addicted screen junkies overseas.

Enemy weakened = job done.

Organized domestic corruption, not "the Chinese," stole our representative democratic republic and gave us two plutocratic parties that are now our government.

Well am I surprised. It actually took until at least half way down the comments section for some twit to say it's about the poor Palestinians - thought it would happen much sooner than that.

You shouldn’t be. Zionists like you are absolutely despicable.

Despicable?

Yea - much like HAMAS you mean?

The same HAMAS that absolutely hoodwinked the poor Palestinians who voted them absolute power.

The same HAMAS that used 'their people' as human shields.

The same HAMAS that funneled foreign aid into building miles of tunnels.

The same HAMAS that stopped foreign food and medical aid from getting to the Palestinian people?

War in Palestine would have ended the moment the hostages were released.

Let's talk more.

You can always tell a communist the way they keep changing subject - a wheel of perpetual outrage.
