View submission: TikTok reportedly plans ‘immediate’ Sunday shutdown in the US if it’s banned / The US federal ban will go into effect Sunday without a Supreme Court intervention.

This is a brain dead comment. The US government is not banning TikTok because it is foreign owned lol. It’s an unprecedented propaganda machine and has back doors to the CCP. The US Gov doesn’t want China to have control over our nations youth and that’s a pretty fucking fair argument. The fact you think you can just boil it down to “foreign owned USA bad for not letting them stay!!!” Is hilarious.

It’s an unprecedented propaganda machine and has back doors to the CCP.

That's what they *say*. But is there any evidence China has attempted to use tiktok to push propaganda? The government hasn't released any such evidence. It seems like a way to spin the real issue, which is that it's not receptive to pushing American propaganda
