      True, I do feel bad for him personally, but I think it was a good revealing question. If he is too scared to answer out of fear of what the Chinese government will do to him, then who's to say that they don't already use that same fear to force him to let the them spy on their enemies with his app. Even if he himself has no ill intention and just wants to make the company successful, he may well have no choice. Even if there wasn't any direct evidence for espionage, TikTok should be to big of a security risk to have in the US for this alone.
      Edit: to Trevor below me- yes, it absolutely can, I never said otherwise. Other nations would be perfectly justified in banning western social media apps suspected of espionage, just as the US is justified in banning TikTok.

There is indeed an argument to be made for a form of black mailing as mentioned in your comment, but considering the concessions tiktok has made, which no other social media has as far as I am aware, I think that they have proven to an acceptable degree that that is simply not what is happening. Also there is something to be said for the anti socialist movement in the US. Sure the way China is being governed is terrible in so many ways, but that is not caused by it being a communist party. I would argue that that is also a form of propaganda. And we all know that North America is the king of propaganda.

But if you like only dog videos you’re rarely gonna get any different content until you search for different videos and basically reset your algorithm. It’s crazy how they just snitched on themselves. It’s literally like this on CZcams, you watch what you’re wanna watch, and similar videos will pop up. The more you interact with that content as will, will also help you see more of those videos, (e.g., liking, commenting, sharing, and etc)
