Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says he’s going to put together an investor group to buy TikTok after the House passed a bill that would ban the popular video app in the U.S. if its China-based owner doesn’t sell its stake.
Because the CCP prefers to indoctrinate their population themselves, and puts road blocks to prevent foreign companies from doing so.
America doesn’t, or at least hasn’t, until now.
And American leadership isn’t against foreign governments indoctrinating US citizens via social media. They are against not being able to PROFIT from it.
TikTok is private, controlled by the CCP, and closed sourced.
Trump toadie in this article isn’t trying to shut down the indoctrination. He wants to buy and use it, take the code out and use it everywhere as well as to sell it to the highest bidders, which will likely be more autocrats.
I neither care nor want Facebook et al trying to reshape Chinese minds, though it has no relevance to this point anyway.
And pointing out that the Chinese don’t allow things America does is not the win you think it is here, (ra ra Team America f*ck yeah and what not). If you like how the Chinese do it, go there and enjoy. It’s your life.
