PR stunt
This is the equivalent of modern day book burning.
Sounds like the management at Tiktok see it as politically expedient to fluff Trump to be able to continue to have access to the US market.
Uhhh I’m using TikTok with no VPN in the US and still get plenty of anti-Trump, pro-LGBT, left-leaning content. 🤷
TikTok definitely used the news hype to signal to Donald Trump that they will work with him — by giving him “credit” for making the app available again (even though he wasn’t president yet and didn’t do anything). It’s all propaganda from both the US and China.
