It’s not about spying it’s about corporate theft. US can’t stomach the next big growth platform being owned by a Chinese company. A TikTok ban is a gift to meta/google as it would basically force a fire sale of that division and nobody else would have the capital to buy it.

If they pass the ban the Chinese gov should buy it from douyin and shut it down. The salt would pour freely

Chinese government should buy it and just exclude the American market.

All the kids will get vpns in 48 hours and how much America sucks ass will be the main kind of content on tik tok.
