I'm 99% sure that you are not affiliated with the Chinese Government. I just wanted to show that accusations like these are not really helpful. It's not the responsibility of Goole/Facebook to prove that they aren't sponsoring bad faith anti-TikTok articles. It's your responsibility as a commentator to show at least some proof (beside a convincing motive). I think the bar for that proof should be rather low, but there needs to be something. Otherwise we are switching from a commenting system based on a reason to a commenting system based on feelings/opinions.
