Nah, this entire thing is about US control. They're upset that it's a different government that's spying on us this time. No sympathy for TikTok but there's no good way to spin this.
Btw, you know if TikTok sells to a US company, they'll be just as rancid, right?
I agree but TikTok is worthless in general. The content it serves people is literal brain rot. Also, I don't want it to sell, I just want it to die and never come back.
