How is TikTok helping the working class? It's an app that wastes your time and sells you products. There is no intent to help the working class. Stop glorifying governments. China doesn't want to help liberate the working class or anything like that, if that's what you're implying.

TikTok doesn’t help anyone but that wasn’t the point of what I said. I was saying that the US government doesn’t actually help its citizens because it’s not profitable for them. The reason the government even cares about “banning” TikTok is because it means their tech buddies (specifically people like Zuck) can benefit from it. It’s corporate greed. TikTok doesn’t care about anything other than profit and data hoarding.

Ah, OK. I misunderstood. Yeah, the US isn't helping people the way it should, but that's not really related to TikTok. They aren't going to do that regardless. Yeah, it's all about money and power for all of this.

TikTok != China.

That said TikTok is a corporation that isn't trying to help either.

Absolutely, but I have seen people say China is using it to liberate workers before, as if they care. There are a lot of misinformed people out there.
