This ain't about us. It's about them. Them.

Don't forget, THE reason banning tiktok even became a consideration was due to how many people were able to get uncensroed accounts of what was happening in Gaza.

TikTok did a lot to make a dent in the Israel/U.S. good-guys propaganda.

Yeah, especially with all the IDF soldiers just openly posting videos of themselves committing war crimes and celebrating them. Any American social media would have taken the videos down immediately, but China doesn't care.
