It's for government computers only. If some average Joe want targeted ads shown to them by their OS, that's not an issue.

LMFAO if someone from CSIS gets arrested for watching CCTV 7.
What goes around comes around. Chinese leaders understand this because of the philosophy of Taoism and yinyang and cycles. Western leaders being avid producers and consumers of cocaine and heroin are simply unable to predict second order effects. They effectively can’t imagine how they would have felt if they hadn’t had breakfast this morning,
Theres a great bit in Heller’s “Catch 22” where he talks about how the war profiteering capitalists worked in both the American and nazi governments, where an American capitalist officer named Milo Minderbinder rents the planes used to bomb his own base,
Yep, this is the reason why I advocate confiscating all territories of the five eyes save their ancestral island.
The social media penetration of bytedance is amazing.
Half the population of US and Indonesia watch tiktok. 2/3 of Vietnam's population watches tiktok.

Just look at the cesspool that is Blind app community. Silicon Valley code monkeys and defense contractor welfare recipients are some of the most ignorant people you'll ever meet.

TikTok is part of the circus half of "panem et circenses" in the US now. If it gets sold to someone else and it keeps operating then the people won't care. If however bytedance retreats from the US and shutdown TikTok because of the ban on sale of algorithm from CPC then it could have unpredictable societal impact. Even Roman Emperors know you don't screw with panem et circenses.

I see Tiktok helping to bridge the understanding gap the Indonesians have of China. There are a lot more Indonesian users than I realized.
The ban is for its dissents on Israel. Roman Emperors do not have a Jewish overlord do they? If the country fall apart then so be it. Its Jewish ruler may escape with their money elsewhere.
Breads and circuses is one thing, but when TikTok allows the mobilisation of the people of the West against the depravity of their ruling elites, TikTok becomes too much of a threat, even if several anglo elites are shareholders of the TikTok franchise. For all their talk of liberal democracies being great for accountability, the elites of the west hate accountability and being held to a standard, otherwise they would not imprison and torture Julian Assange.
Another reason why the Anglo elites want to ban TikTok is because it reveals and amplifies reports of the sins of the anglo ruling class. Take the Netflix documentary re the rape of Nickelodeon child actors by the foot fetishist and bad hairdo aficionado Dan Schneider
In China, such child abusers are executed. Small wonder the anglo elites are so afraid of China.
