But they claim that China banning the apps is authoritarian. The hypocrisy isnt in banning the app, it's in their claims about motivation to do so.
Yea but we're not getting anywhere with "tolerance 100%"
The Chinese government is a tyrannical undemocratic dictatorship and I'm OK with not tolerating them or their propaganda wing.
Fixed that for you.
You fixed nothing, just added some whataboutisim nonsense.
Have you tried actually comparing the content on Tiktok vs other social networks? Or are you just regurgitating some talking point?
From the few years I've been on Tiktok, it is by far the least toxic and bigoted social network I've seen, Lemmy included.
I'm no fan of China, but if we're considering "being less bigoted" to be commie propaganda, then we need to take a look in the mirror. Absolutely throwing the baby out with the bath water here
