An app has been shut down on the unsubstantiated claims that it was a tool of foreign influence but on the apparent reasoning that it was facilitating conversations that western social media is hostile to such as the Israeli extermination of Palestinians.
Whether or not you believe that the censorship was reasonable or if there is sufficient evidence of subversive foreign influence using the platform is possibly debatable, but the fact that it is censorship is not.
Omg china has a credit # for their people? Thats evil! Good thing we dont have a Credit Score in the freedom country. And yeah its not censorship if you can get around it! Especially if its shutting people’s communication down for our freedom and safety 😎🦅🇺🇸
You clearly dont even know what their system is. Their only “credit system” is the sesame seed thing that two of the big companies use its not a government thing punishing you for wrongthink. Also to think we’re not brainwashed in the US is ridiculous.
America and China are the two most propagandized countries but at least they have the excuse of not being the most powerful country for the last century while still actively committing multiple genocides and denying their citizens healthcare or housing.
Instead of asking chinese people living in china about a system which supposedly exists in China, you’d rather just keep listening to western propaganda?
So no, instead of getting a primary source, you’re just gonna stick with people who have never been to china and wouldn’t have a job if they said positive things about China?

Palestine and Gaza were specifically cited by congresspeople as an inspiration and justification for the ban. It is plainly censorship. That’s not really debatable.

Why don’t you go on rednote and ask them about social credit? They have a search function where you can see other posts tagged as much.

It’s no one’s job but your own to filter through propaganda. And everything you’ve claimed is propaganda.

It’s not going anywhere
You must have a lot invested in that particular shitposting app.
You don’t have to attach yourself to everything you enjoy. It’s okay to leave yourself some wiggle rook to learn and grow.
I have learned and grown way more on tiktok content than I have in public education or any other social media app.

Tiktok, like anything else, is what you make of it.
And everyone else that I’ve heard with that same sentiment has never even been on it.
This right here - if you ever use TikTok, you really quickly realize why it’s so successful. To deny its success is just plain willful ignorance.
I’m Canadian, but so much of the content I consume is from Americans so I hope it stays.
