  • Oh I’m sorry. You’re right. I shall read my LLMs more carefully. /s

    It’s allowing Americans to speak freely on America without government interference.

    Another way to look at it is that It’s allowing anyone to speak negatively about Western governments.

    And the point I was making is that TikTok is pushing pro-CCP propaganda; regardless if it’s anti-American or not, but that’s the part you keep focusing on.

    And everyone keeps going on about “censorship from the gov” but the reality is that I see tons of posts, videos, blogs, articles, reels, etc on US based social media that says all kinds of stuff about the US, Canadian, UK, European, etc, governments. It’s just so odd to me that Americans are so hyperfocused on “free speech” when I see all that stuff everywhere anyways. Half the time it’s literally videos FROM TikTok that are just reposted elsewhere.

    The main difference is that on TikTok there’s a higher number of wack jobs that peddle garbage like flat earth, chem trails, anti vaxx, etc. The difference is that on Western social media that content usually comes with a disclaimer. The CCP is more than glad to allow that content because none of their citizens will see it. Chinese people can’t see content on TikTok, they have a segregated version with completely different content for Chinese users. If the CCP cared about freedom, there would be no segregation.

    But the Chinese people were never the enemy. The only ones who push that narrative are people who want to sow division and hatred.

    It’s the CCP and US government that are at odds with one another. The issue with TikTok is the CCP has control and influence over content served to Western uses.

    Throwing in the race card is something that wumao are instructed to do regularly.

    The fact that, like you pointed out, you hadn’t said a single thing about race is a strong indicator that the person you’re replying to is a paid troll.

    Btw “wumao” is literally “five dimes”, which refers to the “50 cent party” who are paid internet commentators with the goal to push CCP propaganda. The “50 cent” part refers to how much they get paid per comment.

    Now I’m not saying this person definitely is a wumao, but my guess is that they are.


  • but the fact is no foreign country needs to do anything to make Americans hate their government.

    No one was arguing about making Americans hate their government. The argument is about TikTok being a pro-CCP propaganda tool. That’s it.

    You keep bringing it back to “hating America”, when that was never the point.

    What you’re saying is actually a typical diversionary tactic that pro-CCP people use. Shift the target of the argument away from the CCP, exactly the way you did.
