TikTok US is how so many Americans have been able to witness world events that aren't adulterated by mainstream American media. They've finally found a platform that doesn't serve total BS.. which is also the reason why US government wants to remove it so bad - it has reduced the effectiveness of their state propaganda which relied on American platforms, thus the government is unable to properly steer perceptions towards their intended narrative. The popularity of TikTok among Americans is like a thick nail hammered into the head of the American propaganda machine.

Bingo, this is exactly why the US government is so obsessed with trying to take control over TikTok. Killing it would be an acceptable fall back position.

And we need to bear in mind that there isn’t actually any conspiracy or active effort by TikTok to contradict American party line propaganda. TikTok’s true crime is in not actively colluding with the US government’s propaganda efforts, which is deemed as a grave national security threat to the Americans, because the more the American public learns about what their government actually does in the world, the more they start to ask:

Sure, you don't want an adversary to control your most popular social media platform, I get that but that's mostly just the free market doing its thing.

But If you read into it a bit more you'll realize what this is all about: AI competition.

argues that even if there is nothing wrong with Tiktok it should be banned because it gives China a crucial edge in the development of AI tools that American companies don't have. China is able to freely access Western markets but not the other way around.

Finally, there’s the fear that China will be able to use TikTok’s data to power its AI innovations. That’s an advantage the US won’t have because its social media apps are banned in China and because there aren’t laws that would compel social media companies to hand over data just because the government wants it.

“They are aggregating literally billions and billions of images of not just Americans but people from around the world who are using TikTok,” Warner said. “That gives them so much more data to help them create tools that can be utilized in the AI world.”

They're not even hiding it really. AI is the new oil/gold rush.

He can afford to spend 10k+ USD for the brokers to ship him to Latin America and cross that border, but couldn't afford to buy a brain to find out what America is really like?

Those plates must be belonging to Donald Trump or King Charles III to worth 3-4k USD of monthly washing.

Peak self-loathing, c0ck-sucking bobalib right there.

I’ve got to get myself in on some of that sweet
human trafficker immigration broker action right there. I speak fluent Mandarin, works in tech, and looks reasonably trustworthy. Since I already have a full time job that pays decent maybe I can cut the line some slack and go for 6k USD per trip?

If you think about it, it’s actually a really great deal for China where the idiot hopeless cases self-pay to self-deport themselves.

Those who stay will not be polluting China’s gene pool with their sub-par genes, while those who return will usually become the biggest supporters of China’s system and leaders, because they have seen for themselves what the alternative is.

Why wouldn't people use logic? If someone was paying 3k for washing plates why would the agent let a stranger know about it he would buy half a dozen dishwashers and do it himself if that's not allowed he would hire his own family,relatives and close friends but never a stranger, This poor guy seems to be a self absorbed naive idiot hopefully things will workout for him

At this rate, Americans may well discover that therapy for Gina Raimondo and her unemployed dad is far cheaper than the massively high prices they’ll have to pay to compete against china.

US is intensifying efforts to prevent China from acquiring the latest technologies in semiconductors and artificial intelligence

Oh wait - So he's not just paying 10k - But 40K USD!!!


40k is way more than enough to pay off my student loans and living expenses, lmfao.

@siegecrossbow Who needs to charge 6k USD when you can already charge upwards of 20-30k USD?

He can always get a job as a 'China researcher' at Epoch Times and Radio Free Asia.
