Well we know for a fact that China has it's own Douyin (Tiktok) app and that it prioritises stopping any inkling of random social movements/organisation through social media.

So this isn't really a mystery at all. Within China they are subject to their laws. Elsewhere they follow global norms.

I actually think all the furore about China and Tiktok was really not about Chinese control over Tiktok in the West, but about the West's own control over Tiktok. Much like how Huawei was booted for not allowing US intelligence agencies to put in backdoors, rather than actually enabling spying itself (this came out last year iirc).

Ironic seeing as Huawei was founded with IP they stole from Nortel. They can fuck off as far as I'm concerned.

Its how innovation happens. I'm pretty sure the Americans did the same to the British.
