Off topic: but when/why was tiktok banned?
It's India (that alone sadly explains why it was banned, typical Sinophobia). If only the population there had the same energy towards the Brits who pillaged and destroyed their land and laughed as millions starved in various manufactured famines- or if they had the same energy to Uncle Sam, which has always backed terrorists/separatists, encircled India from its inception and in recent years brought about hostile regime changes encircling it again, and used lowkey nuclear threats on India during the Bangladeshi war of liberation...
When TikTok started getting popular around when thr covid era began, it got banned in Indian app stores along with a bunch of other Chinese apps under the cover of national security. But there was no genuine reason given for the bans. It was probably for signalling a tough-on-China approach to appease US and friends. At the time I thought maybe other social media corpos had a hand in it, since Meta especially has a huge presence here, but no facts came to light that would support this.
Pax Americana deploys government intervention against successful Chinese companies and illegal arrest of Chinese citizens despite their slogan on minimal government intervention, so I am not surprised that India would use government intervention against free market to please the secret authoritarian principle of the US like how the Capitalists always use government intervention to stop the invisible hand from hiring scary red masterminds from the cold war propaganda into key position of the US.
