And you think nobody outside of the US is interested in preventing the US from having a total propaganda stranglehold on their own population?

How would you prevent that? The US can ban just ban Tiktok anytime and gain that prop stranglehold.

But that would be a very unpopular move that might even be counter-productive while selling them Tiktok would just be handing them everything they want on a silver platter.

Do you think the current administration gives a shit if a move is unpopular? That’s their whole shtick.

The ban already happened. There was nothing massively unpopular about it. And whoever lets the exemption lapse doesn’t have to take the heat for it, since they can just blame it on Biden.
