I’m guessing you’ve never been on TikTok. It’s a pretty good news source and information disseminator. Your algorithm feeds you what you pick so if you linger on posts from physical therapists and psychologists about child development, that’s what you learn about. If you linger on political posts highlighting our local and federal government’s corruption, you get that.
I’m all for banning it (and all social media) for children, but if you think TikTok is all trash TV, you’ve been successfully propagandized.

It sets a pretty chilling precedent that non-American competition can be forced to sell to Americans for (insert arbitrary reason here).

It’s owned by the CCP who is currently trying to undermine our election. It tried to do it in Taiwan where I currently live.

Not that this may not be true, but the USA undermines it’s own foundation of democracy

While the US government is not perfect, it still is OUR own government. The CCP is a literal adversary.

Wtf kind of response is that? “The Chinese government should get a say in our government because our government isn’t perfect.”
Nothing but Chinese shills or boys here. It’s wild anyone is stupid enough to say this

It really doesn’t set a bad precedent forcing a foreign adversary to have less control over the US population. We should really force the sale of a lot of Chinese properties in the US as well. A foreign government should not have so much control over rental and housing prices in the US.
Why are you pro foreign adversary controlling the daily lives of Americans? It’s a very odd stance to take and openly say unless you’re not American obviously.
