Yeah that was crazy. They asked people to lobby for them, as other companies have done, and suddenly they're brainwashing our youth. Every time this comes up I feel like I'm taking crazy pills just from the sheer pressure of people saying TikTok is malware/spyware/directly controlled; but the evidence they point to is always weak at best. It's like they think TikTok is the Chinese version of the black helicopter secret organization.
