Didn't US use to condemn countries when they get authoritarian and ban Facebook, whatsapp or Twitter during political unrest citing freedom of speech, communication is human rights or some bs. Now that Tiktok reigns, yanks can't wait to ban it citing ~~political unrest~~ cough cough national security concerns.

oh, how the table… hypocrites.

Also CCP bans any international apps from running in their country so fuck em too.

It will be fun to watch these lying propagandist assholes fight each other.
