I thought that US was the country of freedom, but turns out that the freedom is just to racists, nazis and for them to fuck up other countries.

Because China is collecting information from millions of US citizens. Plus they control what the US citizens can see and interact with. US has no control over Tik Tok and that scares them. Why are Facebook and X not banned? Because Facebook and X are US based have to comply with the US regulators and share every collected information with the government.

You do know that the overwhelming majority of investment and control in TikTok is already based in the US, and the only Chinese national involved with the app was the creator who already cashed out and retired a long time ago?

Tik Tok is owned by a Chinese company from China: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ByteDance Data is collected in China. Not sure what you mean. Why do you think US tries to block Tik Tok?

Let me stop you right there. The idea of “investment == control” is a capitalist fantasy, not a real-world thing.
Real world is:
- Preferred shares
- Veto power
- 99% worker owned (represented by the CCP) with 1% capitalist investor owned
…and other variations on who gets the control.

Because is Chinese. And that’s not what I think, it is what it is.
