                this is just like how freedom of speech works in totalitarian regimes
                the difference is that the US want to fool everyone on the planet as the angel of freedom of speech but China doesn't want to fool anyone

                      Because TikTok is one of the most used, non-american, app in America teritories.

                        USA keeps banning everything they can't control. Not a viable.long term strategy.
