Please explain why anyone using TikTok is not deranged 🤦🏽‍♂️

Delete the app. Never look up TikTok on the internet. Skip reading anything about TikTok ever again and hope if goes bankrupt and its owners go straight to hell. The end. Personally I would recommend those same with Facebook however don’t view it as so black and white. If someone wants to waste their valuable time with it it’s on them.

TikTok won't ever go bankrupt because it would always be subsidized by the CCP, if necessary, should they ever run out of useful-idiot sponsors.

The CCP would have to collapse first,

@Thinkerbell what is the CCP? I know a few acronyms,, but this one specifically?

Thinkerbell · 41-45, F

@Amylynne

The Chinese Communist Party, the sole ruling party of China (with the exception of Taiwan).

Corporate structure. TikTok Ltd was incorporated in the Cayman Islands and is based in both Singapore and Los Angeles. Its parent company, Beijing-based ByteDance, is owned by founders and Chinese investors (20%), other global investors (60%), and employees (20%)

But the history is deeply China 20 16

Funny part is China is Communist in NAME ONLy

@Thinkerbell I have never been on TikTok. It must really be bad. I have heard of it but have never visited it, as I didn't feel in need. Maybe I'm a lucky one, from the sounds of it. haha I kind of just thought it was like YouTube but I guess not. What is so bad about it?

@Amylynne

Sorry, no, I didn't see it before.

China [i]was[/i] structured on (since discredited) Marxist-Leninist communist principles under Mao, but then turned de facto fascist when Deng and his successors "took the capitalist road," as their (since suppressed) left-wing critics complained at the time.

Controlled by China for starters. @LadyGrace

It was a figure of speech 😉 @Thinkerbell

@jackjjackson Ah...I see. Could be promoting anything and everything.

Collapse works for me. @Thinkerbell

@LadyGrace

There is a restricted version of TikTok for use in China, strictly limited to educational subjects such as math, science and the CCP's version of history.

The degenerate "anything goes" version of TikTok is for Western consumption.

@Thinkerbell Oh wow. Now I see. How "generous" of them, huh? 😳 Thanks for bringing me up to date
