    People love to repeat this, but US companies aren’t coming from a place of hostile intent like china’s special brand of tik tok for the states.

      I’m not so sure about that, they seem pretty hostile to consumers and employees.

      They’re both focused on profit. The only reason you see the other one as scary is because it’s owned by the scary scary Chinese. Red scare all over again.

        No tiktok is not focused on profit. It literally has one of the worst/non existent monetization systems.

        You say “red scare” as if China isn’t a hostile nation state to the US. Go look at western company penetration in China if you want. Are you calling it “western scare” when China blocks yet another western company? I didn’t think so.
