Comment on Albania declares one-year TikTok ban over stabbing
InevitableList@beehaw.org 2 weeks agoNot at all. When google operated a search engine in China it looked nothing like the Google you can access in other countries.
Why would google or tiktok handicap themselves and operate a less profitable, less competitive version of their service when that isn’t required by local regulations?

Your answer has nothing to do with my question.
Isn’t it somewhat strange that Tiktok, whose parent company is forced to closely surveill and censor each politically undesired content in its home country, while it is at the same time not only unable to suppress but reportedly even promotes obviously harmful content on its platforms outside China?

Because the tail doesn’t wag the dog.
You may as well ask why Toyota sells right hand drive cars in Japan and why it sells left hand drive cars in USA?
Why do you think that is?
