As of June 2022, 100% of all U.S. user traffic is routed to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in the United States, and today all access to that environment is managed exclusively by TikTok U.S. Data Security. We have begun the process of irretrievably deleting historic protected user data in our own Virginia and Singapore data centers; once that process is complete, it will effectively end all access to protected U.S. user data outside of TikTok USDS except under limited circumstances stipulated in our proposed national security agreement.

Guess that wasn't enough...

They control the user data, but not the algorithm and the moneys…

They are angry teens are getting radicalised by leftist anti-imperialist content, and they are jealous the new biggest thing is not owned by an American oligarch.

It isn't even necessarily "leftist" content, it's just access to the lives of other gen Z in other parts of the world without boomer media spin.

I'm only on a nonpolitical part of tiktok but you still see stuff like people's cats in Gaza if you follow cat videos, and so on.

I used to think there wasn't a conspiracy until I visited the states and heard a neoliberal loudly ranting to themselves about how they're "not able control people through the media anymore because everyone's on the internet" There it was, straight out of the horse's asshole.

If they themselves believe in the conspiracy than why the hell shouldn't I?
