    They’d rather shut it down cause they dont want to sell it and let an American company see how they use and abuse it to gather information and manipulate behaviors.

      They are free to sell to non American companies just fine as long as the new company is not ultimately controlled by the Chinese government.

        Yes, and they should be shut down too. though the difference is facebook is a private entity and tiktok is a tool owned and operated by the chinese government.

        You’re point?

          No, I’m not a point. Oh, you mean your point. Funny how you don’t know that, as an American.

        I don’t recall the previous commenter mentioning anything about Facebook. Making a comment that is anti something doesn’t automatically mean they’re pro something else.

        Step 1: Feel like getting into a comment section argument

        Step 2: Put words in the other guy’s mouth and argue against those

        Step 3: Make yourself look like a bit of a tool

        Is this the best use of your time?
