You could argue that the perceptions of TikTok as a CCP tool of propaganda is an indirect foreign aid to Taiwan

God knows how much Russia tries to use social media to turn sentiments against Ukraine

Ultimately I think short form content encouraging platforms at large need to go down anyways so sucker punching the current biggest offender is right by me!

Facebook literally conducted social experiments on a million of their own users and didn't even get a slap on the wrist. Banning TikTok had absolutely nothing to do with security or stopping propaganda. Anyone that thinks otherwise is a gullible fool.
