Censorship claims, technical problems and a report of a surge in app deletions are just some of the challenges TikTok is facing this week as it adjusts to a new ownership structure in the U.S.
So China-ownership was better because it censored China-related stuff in China and didn’t care much about other themes in other countries. It is exactly what your colorful analogy means. The world isn’t black and white indeed:)
Except for the subtle Chinese propaganda constantly fed to the rest of the world. Now the propaganda is blatant enough for people to abandon the app, so the world is technically better for the US seizure. The app went to shit, but it was already pretty bad, so no net loss there.
So… USA-ownership looks even worse than a Chinese one? :)
Eh, it’s actually a wash. China did the exact same shit with different key words. They were just smarter about it.
And most of the censorship was in China.
Because China is a totalitarian dictatorship, and is no ones friend.
Just because the US is shit, doesn’t make China any better. The world isn’t black and white, it’s mostly black and dark grey.

Sure, if you gloss over the “most” part and replace it with “all”.

Right because homegrown propaganda tastes so much better than foreign.
Invade, Invade, Invade, Yum, Yum, Yum!
You know US only controls the tiktok infra in the US market, right?
Are you one of those “us is the center of the universe” guys?
Maybe to left leaning Americans. To a European like me they look essentially identically bad and I wouldn‘t use either versions.
