Well yeah, their statements thus far have been:
-
“We would rather go dark than sell”
-
“We are not China Centralized.”
So if that cat gets out of the bag that both those statements are false they will lose all leverage during attempts to sell.

Fascism. All of you clap while you set precedent for banning speech and am ACTUAL attack on the 1st.
I used to be neutral on the ban until I read about their politically-motivated content moderation and how they push certain narrative into people’s feeds.
Like every other media outlet, or publisher? I could not care less about what they are pushing, it will be abused.
Are we still talking about TikTok or is it Facebook/Twitter/every US social media site?
None of them have been as aggressive as TikTok. Most US social media companies have failed to curtail right wing bigots but that a separate conversation from TikTok tbh
I read about their politically-motivated content moderation
Links? What kind of “politically-motivated content”?
I’m pretty sure they’re banning TikTok because reality/truth tends to disillusion the youth and liberate the oppressed.

Yeah your links don’t address the actual data disparities though. I love Vox but that article is super naive.
Edit: and the other link doesn’t really say much else
