Both sides can be bad, with TikTok the problem is that it is controlled by an adversary, a nation that doesn’t have good relationship with the US and wants it to collapse.
Frankly if I had power I would go after Twitter and Meta as well.
I mean the owners of meta and Twitter also want the current version of America to collapse too. They’re as much of a threat in that respect as any foreign country is.
I’m 100000% of the mind that this is purely a profit thing. Tictok got too big and no Americans are getting enough of a cut of that so they want to take it. Same with BYD. It’s a threat to American electric car makers so they need to “do away” with it.
You won’t find me supporting Twitter or Meta, and I won’t deny that their owners do seem to be influenced by foreign governments (directly or indirectly), but TikTok is clearly information Domain Warfare and it would be hell of a stupid to continue allowing it if they are still controlled by Chinese government. This is why that sale is for.

As opposed to billionaires working with the trump admin…
If you don’t think this is adversarial government, I won’t try to convince you, it’ll keep getting more and more obvious

If TikTok wasn’t a weapon, wouldn’t it make more sense to sell it and get something than not selling it and have nothing?
The current behavior only makes sense if the real value was being China’s propaganda piece. A normal business would just go after money.
You think the French nobility fund d US revolutionaries because they were upset about taxes?
If a country is doing something in another country, it’s for selfish reasons 99% of the time.
If China wants to allow a place for people to complain about trump not controlled by a billionaire in Trump’s side…
What they get out of it isn’t the primary concern. It’s helping the American people even if only done to fuck with Trump’s administration
