Sure, I'm just saying that Republicans are taking over and they rely on the disinformation machine to have a chance to get elected so banning TikTok goes against their interests.

They already have a massive disinformation machine across every medium.

Yes and TikTok is one of these mediums, why would they get rid of it when it's one of their main doorways into the mind of young people?
