Haha NO!? We're gonna ban it, and whatever platforms you move to, in a game of whackamole until you pick the "right one", like facebook!

Good luck everybodyyyyyy (starts swinging mallet) /S but also that seems to be their mindset

There are laws, TikTok is almost certainly breaking them.

None that are comprehensive and strong like all the rest of the G7

We can’t afford bread and they’re trying to ban the circus

This was the obvious progression

The real kick in the nuts is that we get to see that the average Chinese can afford groceries and has disposable income for entertainment, and just in general doesn’t have the insane monetary burdens we have here.

The average Chinese citizen doesn't have much access to the internet.

According to this statista article at least 80% of their population has mobile phones with internet access as of 2023. So I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about here.

YOUR data doesn't matter. Information gained from mass analysis of data that is tied to govt workers and military personnel is a security concern and it is treated as such. Nobody cares about your particular data, on either side (well, maybe ad companies, but if you are a tiktoker, you are already fully compromised there).

On the up side for tiktok kids. The CCP will likely order trump to unblock it.

What part of "China is a geopolitical adversary so maybe it's fucking different" is so hard for paint chip eaters to understand?
