    It accomplishes nothing besides pissing people off!

    It denies the CCP mainline media access to our society, with which they can sow division. Arguably a lot of what’s happening on campuses now is thanks to TikTok.

    That they refuse to sell tells me that their investment in this company is not about profit.

      The CPC can just buy data from a different broker. You think Alphabet or Meta are loyal to American interests?

      Also, TikTok won’t be banned for months, so it won’t change the campus protests at all. In fact it’ll probably piss the protesters off even more, it’s very obvious government censorship.

      Also also, there’s zero proof TikTok is promoting pro-Palestine/anti-Israel content. That’s just what is naturally popular, the reality is that all the other social media companies are suppressing pro-Palestine/anti-Israel content. That’s it.
