TikTok is cancer regardless of who owns it.
And at the same time if you preach so much free market economics then you should just learn to live with it and don't buy the product if you don't like it
Part of maintaining a free market is regulations that punish anti-competitive behaviour.
Sucks for the rich, but I, the average consumer do not care about what some rich guy's stocks are doing. I will always go for the cheaper, more accessible, better product.
Please show me an example where I
(If you don’t find one it’s because I never did.)
I think they were referring to the ones who voted to ban it
Exactly
Anything from China is anything but free market. Chinese companies are still owned by the state who practice state capitalism.
That's not true at all. China has state owned businesses and private owned businesses. You think the Boeing and Microsoft locations in China are owned by the CCP?
If you're being pedantic, you're right, but Chinese companies are still Chinese state-owned-- which Tiktok is.
No. There's privately owned industry in China.
Of course you'd lie.
It will never cease to amaze me that people can have the full power of the Internet at their fingertips and have the wherewithal to not look something up before saying something stupid.
Of course you'd deny.

Cry about it. I can taste your tears from here.
So you acknowledge that you're disregarding facts and you're telling them to cry about it?
Tell me about it commie.

Tell me more commie.

Okay, here's a real article from Stanford actually explaining the breakdown of state owned vs private owned equity in China. And this is a "China bad" article, so you know I'm not cherry picking data from some bullshit website. https://sccei.fsi.stanford.edu/china-briefs/rise-state-connected-private-sector-china
Don’t fall for the straw man.
It's not a strawman, commie.
They meant the argument you were responding to, the obvious strawman, and not what you said.
Free market for me but not for thee.
Yes, there is a trade war.
Don't be naive about NSA and US propaganda/surveillance.
There doesn't need to have NSA propaganda when China themselves say they are state capitalists and allow billionaires to flourish.
