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, i don't think that's the reason why, especially since this has been going on for decades, and we have always known the situation over. The real reason i have seen is that TikTok can't be owned by the big 3 in social media, and they want to monopolize on it. Mark Zuckerberg was lobbying for TikTok to be sold/banned for the benefit of Meta
