It has nothing to do with security. It has everything to do with controlling speech and maintaining management of public narratives. This became an urgent issue for the oligarchy when they lost control of Israel genocide discourse. This is what fascist states do. They are just getting started.
One's run by a white guy .... the other is Asian
When it comes to choices in North America ... it always goes to the white guy
If we were in a commercial passenger jet at 30,000 feet and the pilot and co pilot suddenly died and the crew had to choose who should fly the plane .... they'd think twice about the 300 Asian passengers and instead choose the only white guy in first class.
The problem with tiktok, x, or even red note is that the government ends up with an alternative to their narrative. They can't have any of that.
A good example is Israel/Palestine genocide. They lost the narrative war, people woke up. It's very difficult to put them back to sleep.
A lot easier to just ban the platform. Security is just an excuse/tool to do so.
Does OP think governments only face one issue at a time?
Because communism le bad.
twitter is american based, only america can subpoena their servers….
with tiktok, china can mess with their servers
bc china
I guess if words don’t mean anything the Elon Musk is whatever you declare him to be
Because at least in America when a Billionaire buys a company they can kick the Feds out the were manipulating and suppressing information for 8 years.
Because Zuckerberg spent a lot of money bribing Congress into this opinion. And everyone in Congress owns Facebook stock, so TikTok is a security threat to their portfolio balance.
Edit: Another provable fact being downvoted by people who read too much Tom Clancy and don't understand how vulnerable all apps are.
TikTok is owned by ByteDance, which is owned by the CCP. Why make it easy for foreign governments to spread agit-prop in your country If you don't have to?
