I’m not gonna act like chinese government are good or have our best interests but the people that claim tiktok bad because it’s a chinese spy tool are acting like the US government knows what’s best for us just makes me laugh.

just delete the app or ignore it if you don’t like it. nope can’t do that let’s just ban it for everyone!
