Just how fragmented and sick is the USA Government in
its thinking, that it is making a fool of itself openly for the rest of
the world to see. I am talking about the coming ban on TikTok.
Claiming
that TikTok is a bad influence on younger users and a spying tool for
the Chinese Government is just a lame excuse. The real honest unsaid
reason is that it is cannibalizing the territory of USA apps like Meta
and Twitter. It is insulting the intelligence of readers to say that the
Chinese Government is using TikTok to spy on USA users of TikTok. Why
should the Chinese Government be interested in spying on ordinary USA
citizens, when China is not even interested in who gets into the White
House, as both parties pose no benefit whatsoever to China as they are
using the same playbook against China.
Making the pitch that
India already banned TikTok in 2020 is a moot point. Modi had to ban
TikTok for the reason that he does not want ordinary Indians to get too
deep into understanding of his corrupted regime. That India is the
biggest democracy in the world is just an empty slogan. Modi is a
dictator. One that the USA recognized as legitimate. What a joke!
It
has also been reported that the Biden Administration itself is using
the TikTok platform in its Presidential election campaign today. That is
smearing shit on their own faces trying to ban TikTok. If something is
really that bad as what the Biden Administration is claiming, why are
they themselves using it? It boggles the mind! In other words, it is
blatantly telling us that they do not practice what they preach. The
same as telling us that they lie, cheat and steal. We probably cannot
find any other more shameless human species in this world today like the
USA.
The other thing that really takes the cake is forcing
TikTok to be sold to a USA entity or face the ban. In other words, using
the same fake spying narrative that TikTok is spying for the CCP will,
if it falls into USA's hand, becomes a spying tool for the US Government
instead, right? It is therefore a moot point and just a lame excuse to
argue that it has a bad influence on younger users.
Byte Dance
must never ever sell off TikTok to any USA entity. Rather be banned than
selling it. There is a much bigger and wider world besides the USA and
the West, where it can thrive. What is losing a couple of hundred
million users compared to the billions of users in the Global South?

Why would Byte Dance sell TikTok to a US entity? That is a no brainer. How big a population is the USA and EU to warrant the necessity to do that? Let the ban in the USA and Europe be implemented. It will not kill TikTok.
ReplyDeleteThere is a much bigger world outside of the USA and EU for TikTok to grow even bigger and compete with the likes of Meta, Twitter and Instagram.
Selling TikTok will be a massive mistake. I believe Byte Dance is well aware of that and will be castrated by the Chinese population and face the wrath of the Chinese Government, if it does so.
Why TikTok still wants to fight in the courts is a puzzle. Even if TikTok wins, the USA will find other ways and means to get its dirty hands on it to force TikTok to sell to US entities.
ReplyDeleteJust leave the USA and EU and be done with it. Like what Huawei did and grow stronger in adversity.
For TikTok, the earlier it gets out of the USA and EU market, the better, and use the time and resources to grow its user base elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteTikTok should stop operating in USA now because Biden is using the platform for his Presidential campaign. Shameful behavior indeed!
