But the potential is obvious. China already heavily manipulates content for domestic consumption, and foreign information in other contexts. Why would TikTok be an exception?

Americans are no less propagandized and experiencing information shaping. Prattling on about the authority of dead men’s political documents and philosophy is propaganda.
