TikTok has been the one platform that censors content far less than US owned ones. For example, it was basically the only place where people could post videos from riots in Europe or of what was happening in Gaza. Most of this stuff was quickly scrubbed from places like Reddit, Instagram, of Facebook. Once they get rid of TikTok, there's going to be a lot more control over what people in US get to see.
Ah well, we can’t have that! Which is why military-industrial complex think tanks have their eyes on the fediverse.
Indeed, the only reason they haven't gone after the fediverse in full force yet is cause it's still too niche. If it ever blows up to the volume of TikTok, I guarantee they're gonna try to ban it as well.
