They think that getting rid of TikTok will make all the protests disappear.
Let’s not forget this push and this particular bill (though amended since) predates the October 7th rebellion against the zionists and all that has happened since.
It’s not about crushing these particular protests (though their existence has lent impetus to crushing all avenues of media they don’t control), it’s about preventing the next ones. It’s about continuing to have control of the narrative. And much more importantly than that is it’s about profit for American capitalists. They can’t invest in tik-tok, they can’t profit off it, they don’t own it. And lastly it’s about global control. CIA tells their “former” officers in Facebook or Twitter or any other American company to prop up a color revolution in Mongolia or wherever? They do so with glee and give them data on anyone trying to interfere. CIA tries to tell tik-tok’s global company to do the same? They’ll refuse to honor it, say they’ll comply only with US law with regards to activities in the US.
