No, the concern is not what people will see on TikTok but what data TikTok is offshoring from their devices to servers in China. It's a massive surveillance operation.

Now, why would you be trying to dress this up as a free speech issue, I wonder?

I would argue in addition to that, that it is the things you don't see on tiktok. They censor specific content that is criticising china or portraying them in a bad light. I'm shure there is good content on the platform. But I genuinely do not understand how people can still use tiktok, same as meta platforms (though they don't censor that much). Do they not know? Or don't care?

Do they not know? Or don't care?

Some people one, some people the other, some people both.
