The US wants to get their hooks into TikTok and use it for PsyOps. It’s that simple. Don’t let the word “PsyOps” trigger your wacko alarm.

It’s understood that the US already does this with Facebook and other websites.

The US doesn't need TikTok for that.

There are 170 million TikTok users in the US. Intelligence services would be doing a bad job if they didn't have their hooks in it somehow.
