If TikTok has the power to "turn" youth into pro Palestine, they can also turn the youth pro China when China invades Taiwan.

TikTok is in its expansion phase so it need to show its good will, but as soon as it is large enough, it will seek to do whatever make them the most money, like everyone else.

Time and time again, big-tech controlled social media have intervened and will continue to intervene with public opinion, Meta, Xitter, TikTok, all in their own ways.

If government decide to ban meta tomorrow, will you object as hard as banning tiktok?
