  1. This should have been a slam dunk for the Congresspersons subpoenaing the CEO. Instead, they spent that time hounding the CEO on whether or not he is Chinese ("Sir, I'm Singaporean.") TikTok isn't slick. It's just that our Congresspersons are an embarrassment.

  2. TikTok's response to the "secret" voting on the divestiture bill -- organizing users across America to influence their representatives -- was its 'Mask Off' moment and it totally backfired. More importantly tho, that just goes to show how power these social media apps are. Can you imagine the immense potential for sociopolitical change that these platforms could bring by simply organizing people and resources across states and maybe even countries? Yet, that type of great power is in the hands of companies like ByteDance and Zuck's Meta. Crazy world we live in.

  3.  @Khalistan_Zindabaddd  That's the thing tho. Douyin is not TikTok. Douyin is a seperate app for meant just for Chinese users. ByteDances's international app is TikTok and that is the one that has been banned in China. Douyin is allowed but TikTok is not.
