wonnage | on: TikTok goes dark in the US
Is China upset about this? This just seems to be a huge American self-own (pun intended).

I don't see the downside to Americans as a result of this. Meanwhile, China lost a valuable propaganda tool.

Or, would have. It's all a moot point now that the appeal to Trump's ego worked.

You sound like someone who doesn't use TikTok and therefore isn't affected by this anyway. So your opinion doesn't matter

Extrapolating your logic, I am not currently in a war-zone therefore my opinions on war don't matter. I'm not a politician so I shouldn't have political opinions.

They are just shifting to one propaganda tool (tiktok) to another (fb). For the american citizen nothing changes.
