The existence of TikTok just shows how flawed the US system is.

Did you know China bans ********, WhatsApp, ********, Snapchat, Instagram, Clubhouse, and heavily censors Google?

Meanwhile we allow TikTok (a Chinese company) to operate in our country with impunity.

I'm getting strong parallels to the 1800s when Britain used China as a captive market for their opium. They used this addictive substance to destroy China while generating huge profits.

Looks like China has learned their lesson from 150 years ago and is now doing the same thing to the USA.

No.

That's kind of my point?

I wasn't being some sarcastic wanger. What you posted is a product of our capitalism and our freedom as Americans. Which one of those things is your argument against? I couldn't tell from your post.

I think capitalism and freedom are great. However, too often people will claim that they are doing something in the name of "capitalism" when in fact they are doing the opposite. Ex. huge companies forming monopolies, people renouncing their citizenship to get an unfair tax advantage, the Fed purchasing huge quantities of junk bonds to bail out highly leveraged companies.

This is one of those examples. We should ban TikTok and other Chinese social media from our country until they are willing to comply with our norms by allowing our companies to operate there.

I loathe Trump but he had a few bright spots. He was right to shut down TikTok and it's a shame Biden isn't willing to continue the fight.
