      I’m just a bystander, China sucks, but referencing a NY Post opinion piece feels a bit like using a Fox News segment as a source. They’re pretty trash.

        There’s individual sources for practically every paragraph in that article, so I’m not seeing the issue in this case.

      OK, so lets say they moderated it the same way here as they did in China… All good now?

      I don’t think it matters at all how tiktok is actually being managed or moderated in the US - Americans simply do not trust anything Chinese.

      The cold war never ended.

        By moderating, if you mean using the same algorithm for the content feed, it would make a significant difference to a lot of people I believe.

          Not a chance lol

          Most americans don’t know a single thing about China, but almost every one of them would tell you that it’s a anti-free speech hellscape.

          The only thing that matters is that it originated in China. Nothing else they do could change the opinion of the american public.

      Of course it does, and for two major reasons:

      • Chinese law is very different from American law
      • China’s domestic propaganda interests are quite different than it’s international propaganda interests
