Can you provide a tldr of the video?
I learned a trick to send videos to AI to summarize but it can't do this video because there's no captions.
The title of the video is pretty clear "TikTok is a Cyberweapon".
Reasonable people can disagree over wether or not that's actually true... but it's worth noting China has banned TikTok within their own country. Clearly they think it's harmful.
It's also worth noting that congress was acting on an intelligence report which has not been published. I've heard there are rumours they might declassify the report and release it. Personally I'm inclined to reserve judgement until we actually know what evidence they have but the fact China has banned it themselves is a huge red flag.
China’s full of red flags these days
It's the same thing, it's just called Douyin instead.
I didn't dig deep, but I got curious after seeing your comment: https://brandmentions.com/wiki/Is_TikTok_Banned_in_China
