Not really. It was about preventing CCP control of information.

The CCP angle is the PR version. From last year: https://www.axios.com/local/salt-lake-city/2024/05/06/senato...

Note that there have been multiple instances over the past two years of high level ex/current officials repeating the same general point.

      That’s not what Romney said. His - and the wider establishment’s - concern is that unsanctioned content is allowed to be treated the same as any other content.

      Anyone knows that TikTok simply tailors your feed to your interests & interactions. But even this is not acceptable when it comes to topics the establishment doesn’t want disseminated.

      And if they had undeniable proof that TikTok was boosting/manipulating such content, why haven’t they revealed it now that TikTok US is under US control?

      But it’s okay to not be concerned. Just don’t come crying when the book burning starts.
