I don't see why users would even have a problem with this. Same services, more competitive market, and with less ties to an evil dictatorship should be celebrated, right?
It depends. I’ve heard second hand accounts that TikTok can push pro-Chinese propaganda, and whenever I pointed out that China isn’t some lefty paradise to some people in my life they were either shocked or fell into the “you’re falling in line with the Western Propaganda, I see 😏”
Doesnt tiktok have a personalized feed for China that promotes healthy habits and everywhere else it's more likely to morph into brain dead content spirale?
Personalized feed? What? I've never heard of anything like that
One of the things I read about: https://nypost.com/2023/02/25/china-is-hurting-us-kids-with-tiktok-but-protecting-its-own/
BUT I don't know if it's actually true.
