I agree with your comment but if you think banning TikTok is about stopping China's psyops you are not paying attention. This is protectionism for the US social media industry. Removing American made content from TikTok will also make it less appealing for other western countries as it will have less of the wealthy empire-grown "influencers" everyone loves, hence giving an alternative to US alternatives by Google/Facebook/Snap to cut into their market.

China can psyops on any social media platform, Tencent owned Reddit for longer than anyone in congress has been worried about this only that no US based Reddit competitor makes enough money to pay for national security lobbyists in DC.

Psyops is fun, and fairly close to some of the stuff I had fun with in the military. But to say I have any political ideology that fits into a box, is rather funny.

Thanks for that!
