    So…

    Members of the government are seizing private companies for themselves?

    Isn’t that why we can’t have universal healthcare or free education?

    Because the slippery slope would lead to the government seizing private property?

    Why are we skipping the good parts?

    “Tiktok is a tool for Chinese propaganda, but we’d prefer if it were a tool for American propaganda instead.”

      The fact that they only targeted Tiktok already shows their motives. They claim that Tiktok is a powerful tool for data collection and propaganda. They claim that’s too dangerous to leave in the hands of China.

      However, all the other social media companies (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc) are all equally as powerful. There’s only one difference between them: who controls the propaganda.
