Whether it was tiktok under China or tiktok under the US I never found myself wanting to use the app and I don’t see that changing. I just dislike short form video content sites in general with it being filled with wannabe influencers fighting for attention. In a way its too social for me.
And maybe I’m just a no fun grump, but probably ended up being for the best that it never got its hooks in me.

This is part of a complete rightwing takeover of media. They used fear of China to make sure that they control every platform.

Hate to break it to you but the media as ALWAYS been rightwing; the outlets are owned by Oligarchs who benefit the most from in-class fighting among citizens as long as theyre distracted from the wealth inequality.

Why be a dick? You don’t need to break anything to me. If you don’t understand that the present media consolidation is indeed novel, perhaps you should study history. But nothing I said suggested things used to be good.
