      150 Million Americans are giving the keys to the kingdom to a hostile militaristic dictatorship with the potential to do harm on a scale beyond anything you’ve ever seen

      in return for vines but worse.

      This is one of those issues where “GET MAD” is the correct response.

        “GET MAD” at the proper institution/organizations/companies, not your fellow commenter, who is not even denying what you’re saying. I’m not saying you’re wrong, you’re just being a dick about it.

        “Hostile militaristic dictatorship” is just the United States. There’s almost zero difference between the US and China in those regards. The only real difference is that Chinese citizens are actually being lifted out of poverty at a rate not seen at any point in history while the US is continuing to impoverish their citizens. Both of them spy on their citizens and have insanely racist cultures.

        There’s no moral difference between using TikTok and Facebook.

          Ji Xinping has no term limit and was unanimously reelected by the single party congress, completely unopposed. China does not select their leadership.

          The USA criminalizes and punishes misconduct like massive data collection, such as the FCC fining FaceBook 5 Bn USD, but China created and operates an even more invasive and far reaching data collection scheme on their own with TikTok.

          Face it, loyal dog, China is the same monster it has been for a century, just waiting to add millions more bodies to the pile.
