for some strange reason, that I still do NOT understand, tik tok became such a controversy.. I suppose it's the data part.. since you apparently cannot join it anyomously. why, cuz you pay to see teen agers showing off their bodies for which they get some bucks if they are popular, like the best girls in a strip club once upon a time. the teens call it, making content LOL. They all fucking talk about "content" like they are television program producers. It's fanatical, strange, weird, warped and.......... true. OnlyFans............... I presume a usa based tik tok style platform to some degree. same thing. all kinds of horny people are expressing themselves for other horny people who get off on what they express and are willing to pay some money to watch it, i.e. the content. it's a digital strip club man. hosted on a world wide server aka broadcasting medium. WTF? WTF? Hello? These companies enable world wide masterbation and strip tease in a non public setting and nobody touches nobody. What's the problemo?

Re <<Tik Tok>> … a tragedy, for American people’s livelihood involved (owners, staff, service providers, advertisers, and subscribers/creators), and a company owned mostly by one group of American oligarchs is put in danger, in favor of another group of American oligarchs …

I would enforce ban on TT. Its relationship with the CCP is real. Your synthesis of Wikipedia’s note failed to mention Zhang Fuping, who is BD’s liaison with the CCP. I’d ban any social media owned or related to our adversaries. Short, simple. TT users will get used to it. Trump is a lame duck starting on 1.21 so no political risk.
