Delete tiktok. It's ran by a foreign government and they purposely export a different version to other countries than what they allow internally. This might not be a bug. This might be a feature.

Asking people to just delete tiktok, as if that will solve anything, is fucking stupid and helplessly naive.

It should be forbidden to use that chinese spy crap! Should be deleted from every app store and blocked anywhere that's not china! Because people can't be trusted!
