    They are just jealous that someone else is getting all the tasty data, and they think it should be going to a US company instead.

    Just like to take this opportunity to say fuck the name “ByteDance”

    It’s a stupid, corporate, “hip” name that needs to fade into obscurity asap. Not crazy about the company either, but the name in particular is just so fucking cringe

      Seems to be the hip thing for social media companies. Meta, X, anyone else want to chip in absolutely stupid names to the list?

    Good. I don’t use TikTok and never will, but the government shouldn’t be able to tell you what kind of speech you listen to, what speech you make, or what platforms you use to communicate it. This is some 1984 shit. Looking forward to Trump banning every app except Truth social because we opened the door to this nonsense and all the other apps are spreading “anti-christian hate speech” or “anti-american-first propaganda”. Fuck the CCP. But also fuck the government trying to restrict speech.
