    Chew responded to the latest moves in a video posted by the official TikTok account. “Make no mistake, this is a ban,” Chew said in the video. “A ban on TikTok and a ban on you and your voice.”

    Narrator: it wasn’t.

        I’ve actually read the law, so no one has to tell me that it really, actually is about privacy. I know that it is.

          Lemmy users are just going to believe whatever they want to believe, instead of actually checking the facts.

          It’s 100% about privacy. Data collection, and algorithm manipulation to sway what users see in the interest of the Cinese government. If users think Russian interference is a problem, we’ll this amounts to the same thing.

            If you just read the wiki article you linked as well, there is circumstantial evidence you’re just ignoring.
