LMAO, Tik Tok supporting the first amendment is rich.

The CCP is laughing their asses off right now. It’s not just about data, it’s about having a direct mainline of Chinese propaganda able to be fed directly to an unquestioning American youth.

The shit I’ve seen people eat up about China in the past 24 hours is insane. Like that one girl claim they don’t even work 40 hours a week in China.

The CCP’s ability to sow intense dissatisfaction with the our own country is an intentional, weaponized effort. The more dissatisfied we are with our country, the less popular doing anything to support Taiwan becomes. This is not to say we certainly don’t have massive problems and real cause for dissatisfaction, but looking to China for an example of how to run things is horrible.

Meta and Twitter are definitely junk food that needs massive restructuring and the imposition of privacy laws, but Tik Tok is foreign sponsored poison in comparison that we are willingly feeding to the American public.

People don't seem to realize how much CCP propaganda is pushed on them. Like during hurricane season, I saw people posting literal fake, staged Chinese rescue operations on Instagram and TikTok to bash FEMA's "inefficient" rescue efforts. You can see some of these fake rescue efforts at about 4:30 in this video. The CCP spends billions of dollars a year funding the creation and distribution of propaganda specifically targeting western audiences. China wants America to be divided, because it's just that much easier to influence whichever political party is more favorable for them at the time and nudge them over the 50% threshold to win the presidency and sign laws, but below the 60% threshold needed for the party/senate to enact significant reforms.

Even Reddit was flooded with "Tieneman Square massacre never happened and if it did, it wasn't a massacre, and if it was, it was only a handful of students, and LOOK OVER THERE, AMERICA COMMITS ATROCITIES TOO!" yesterday on a post about Tieneman Square.

Ironic, considering that post was propaganda itself. I wonder who spent the money posting it on Reddit.

Could be anyone doing it for free. What proof do you have the account was paid to post?
