Why not use the app to ask Chinese people about the social credit score system?

Smoking is bad, we ban it. Fuck you I’ll do meth!
Might be hyperbole, bit this is some dumb stuff and really to me does just how addicted and short sighted people are. I didn’t give a shit why they’re banning TicTok, instead of taking this opportunity to free oneself from an addiction, you just going all in for the childish “fuck you, you can’t tell me what to do”.
Are users for this other app, beholden to China’s social credit score system, because of so, I’m getting some popcorn…

They don’t mind that it’s ruining people’s brains. They just don’t like that it’s sending data back to the CCP, giving them direct access to a really huge number of American’s phones to do whatever they like, and giving them an uncomfortably free hand in guiding the perception of reality experienced by millions. But the harm it does to people on a personal level is as unimportant to the US government as it is to China’s.

I don’t think Ticktok is any better or worse than YouTube (or Google play services for that matter)
