If you think China controlling the minds of Americans through Tik-Tok is a legitimate threat, do you think American minds aren't already controlled by the US government through every other form of media? And which is the bigger threat?
I mean, at least China might actually criticize American government and policy, which is something America's so-called "free press" is no longer capable of. I say give Americans a healthy dose of propaganda from all sides and let the market decide!
Do you actually want Americans to have their own free will and choice? Hah, you wish. Only thing we can get is propagandized version neatly created by mass media conglomerates.
