My main reason is I'm an American, China (probably) can't do shit to me. But here I'm subject to so much shit America can do legally and illegally, with zero repercussions.

If China fucked me in particular over, odds are it would at least spark debate here. If America spied on my messages and stopped me from protesting something, that's just a Tuesday afternoon here.

The only reason why Congress wants to ban it, is due to pressure from news agencies and the government, because TikTok can't be controlled by the CIA. You can't manufacture consent of the people if the content comes from someone else you don't control.

They'll ban tiktok but won't punish overly aggressive police.

They'll ban tiktok but won't make food or rent affordable.

They'll ban tiktok but won't denounce Israel's bullshit.

They'll ban tiktok but won't cancel student loans.

They'll ban tiktok but won't take Covid seriously.
