It is nothing more than a vector for Chinese control of online mindshare. I still cannot fathom why it hasn't been banned in every country.

what is online mindshare? and why is it illegal for a country to gain it.

if tiktok was American would it be legal.

as a concept, it's not much different from vine which was owned by Twitter.

ethics-wise Facebook has probably done worse

Trump tried it, but the court ruled he didn't have the power to ban an app.
