minus-squareivanafterall ☑️@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·18 days agoI’m just a bystander, China sucks, but referencing a NY Post opinion piece feels a bit like using a Fox News segment as a source. They’re pretty trash.
minus-squareAwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·18 days agoThere’s individual sources for practically every paragraph in that article, so I’m not seeing the issue in this case.
minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·18 days agoOf course it does, and for two major reasons: Chinese law is very different from American law China’s domestic propaganda interests are quite different than it’s international propaganda interests
minus-squarearchomrade [he/him]linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·18 days agoOK, so lets say they moderated it the same way here as they did in China… All good now? I don’t think it matters at all how tiktok is actually being managed or moderated in the US - Americans simply do not trust anything Chinese. The cold war never ended.

The only thing that matters is that it originated in China. Nothing else they do could change the opinion of the american public.
