    Yeah that is true, and other platforms do the same things as well. It should really be fixed as the systemic issue that it is. Banning specifically tiktok means that all its users are just going to flock to another app that will do the same thing and nothing will change. There are many tiktok clones from ‘enemy states’ and allies alike that do it. I guess there isn’t a really good way to define what is and isn’t an intent to divide though.

      Which other ones “do it”? (meaning, impose the auhoritarian government’s propaganda policy)?

        There are so many on the play store that are from all over according to their developer info. Some from less scrupulous parts of the world than others. Likee and Bigo are based out of Singapore and do much of the same things tiktok does, but even more poorly moderated.
