The majority of americans are fuckin stupid and believe whatever their TV programming tells them to believe.

Who said anything about war?? I'm staying "in this regard", which is about privacy and data being taken and used by a government. Outside of that context yes I think the CCP is absolutely worse than the US in just about every category. There's no question there.

Read the title of this thread again. This thread is about if TikTok is a threat to national security. This thread is about war.

That's not what I was responding to but in any case, no, I don't think tiktok is a threat to national security or going to cause a war. This is FUD.
