Seen this on reddit and thought it was an interesting question that largely is not talked about.

It is largely an issue that gets sidelined and hidden because people don't want to talk about it or accept that it exists. Hopefully this gets some traction to break that marginalisation.

Unfortunately there are certain niches on tiktok... Depending where the algorithm throws you

Oh, I'm ABSOLUTELY in a bubble away from tiktok.

You know how a broken clock is right twice a day? Well, trump actually got tiktok right the FIRST time he had an opinion on it, in 2016, and surprisingly enough for the right reason.

It IS a Chinese espionage tool. It always has been. Both against their own citizens, and against other nations userbase.

I just want to make clear two things.

  1. I'm NOT a trump supporter. He just happened to be right on this one issue in 2016. It's one of those times where I was like "Wait.....really? I'm agreeing with trump??? That can't be right.....no, it checks out. He's making rational points......are we SURE this is trump??? The orange cheeto man? The grease pizza slut? That guy is.....alright. Feels weird agreeing with trump on something...."

  2. He's since reversed his stance, and gotten his own tiktok once he realized he could game the system. So, suddenly he's pro-tiktok. Which is somehow better for me personally. I can keep my position, and not feel dirty for being on trumps side. I have spent all of 0 minutes on tiktok.

Me, to MAGAS:

You hate China because you're racist.

I hate China because the CCP is a giant bag of dicks.

We are not the same.

There are niches for everything on tiktok. Best way to deal with them is to not engage.
