It's CCP spyware. It should be banned everywhere.

What about American Spy Ware?

What do you mean? If the concern is spyware, then that concern exists whether your using American software or Chinese software.

If you don't think the concern is spyware and it's solely China, then don't mention spyware. Say you don't like it because it's Chinese and leave it at that. You'd come across as more genuine.

The problem is both. I support none of them nor their evil efforts.

The difference is that Tiktok is controlled / influenced by the CCP and the other social media networks are controlled by corporate boards of directors. Tiktok is under the influence of evil communists, literally.

There's plenty of U.S. equivalents. What's your point?

Nepalese residents will be infected with the insidious Chinese Mind Virus if they watch too many Chinese girls putting on make-up or C-Pop Boy Bands do the sissy-hypno dance. Then their society will collapse and China will be free to roll in the tanks. This is just like how China conquered the countries of Hong Kong, Tibet, and Tienanmen Square.
