          He’s brainwashed into thinking giving Americans his data is better than giving the Chinese.

          Must not know about PRISM, lol.

          Nepalese residents will be infected with the insidious Chinese Mind Virus if they watch too many Chinese girls putting on make-up or C-Pop Boy Bands do the sissy-hypno dance. Then their society will collapse and China will be free to roll in the tanks. This is just like how China conquered the countries of Hong Kong, Tibet, and Tienanmen Square.

      Its about time to ban TikTok. Look what kind of youth have become. Kids doing crazy things for the “fame” of the internet - beating other kids to death, stealing cars, doing drugs, and all minds of illegal stuff just for fun and have lots of “likes”. My brother spends hours a day on TikTok he cant keep focused for a long time anymore. I dont trust him anymore because he forgets things all the time now. He is loosing lots of money and now in a huge debts because he was buying things too expensive for him just to upload pics and videos to be “recognised” n stuff… You can say that its my brothers fault, but TikTok and social media is dragging him more than anything. And it happens for a lot of people

    Lol. I remember when Trump said he was going to ban it and everyone was like nooooo. This is so concerning for free speech. Now that it’s not Trump doing it, everyone says: Great, everyone should ban it.

    It incentivises stupidity, and controversial opinions, which gets more views and makes the “influencer” money.

    Fearmongering worked. Let’s get more nations to follow suit so we can have an American company dominate short-form video formats instead of a Chinese one.
