Let me genuinely ask you something because you seem to be all over this thread with a strong different opinion, and I'm not so arrogant as to believe it's impossible that I'm wrong.
Do you really think, in real world terms, that China could not accomplish the types of infiltrations / surveillance it would deem strategically important without tiktok? Considering that they already compromise government systems on a regular basis (which I can provide links for if you're curious)
Do you genuinely think that corruption / lobbying has nothing to do with this ban? What is your primary concern that makes you in favor of this?
Do you look at things like facebook and instagram and either not see the blatant propaganda on there or not see a problem with it?
I'm just wondering if we are disagreeing on the facts or if we have fundamentally incompatable values, I want to understand.
