And other social media, like the one you're using right now, aren't?

They are. But that’s not why it’s banned. US politicians don’t give a flying fuck about the well being of their citizens. How people don’t realize this yet is ASTONISHING.

They are banning it because they can’t control it. They are happy to feed their citizens propaganda as long as it’s THEIR propaganda.

The only thing the US cares about is whether or not they can control and influence their people. That’s hard to do with TikTok around. But if it’s only Facebook and Twitter? Easy.
