Genuinely. The chinese government uses algorithms and active moderation to make sure their tiktok is not nearly as wild as ours.

This is missing some pretty important context, in that CPC policy is generally more restrictive around social media and youth usage. This is a country that has legal limits on the amount of time minors can play video games (and I know that’s not unique to China). If you’re making the point, in good faith, that China has identified some specific evil in regards to TikTok, it’s not enough to merely show that they have restrictions on it; you would also need to show how this differs from the way they treat Weibo, bilibili, etc.

My ignorance has been proven! I'm very vaguely aware of all of this.
