Perhaps you've seen headlines the past few days on how TikTok has a huge white supremacy and Nazi problem. I think the reason behind this manufactured narrative is due to TikTok not being controlled by the Silicon Valley. The circles within the valley that control the political alignment of tech companies (Google + Youtube, Electronic Arts, Twitter, Patreon, etc) have not managed to sneak their way into TikTok since the app is based in China. And since they have no control over TikTok, they try to destroy it to maintain their (almost) monopoly in the tech industry.

TikTok is full of young people who having fun with zero tolerance of degenerate bullshit. Which is why its driving the control left crazy. They're not going to get control of TikTok and they're not going to get it banned. Young people are already using it in too big of numbers and PewDiePie is already using it in some of his segments.
Instagram is probably the only Silicon Valley social network that isn't failing now. So Facebook is now trying to expand with IGTV. Which could easily take on YouTube and Twitch.

I installed it but it annoyed the fuck out of me due to the autoplay. I had to demolish it. I'm too old school for that, it seems aimed at the younger crowd. But, it's pretty funny that SJW heads are exploding because the Chinamen own it and it is beyond their ability to censor. Good luck turning the tide, since a lot of people are becoming fed up with the Silicon Valley scum platforms. What's the point of using a platform with no free speech? And why not seek out alternatives elsewhere, it's a big web.

Yeah I'm not much of a fan of auto-play, especially if I can't turn it off.
And yes young people are not going to keep using the garbage from Silicon Valley when they keep trying to lock everything down and sanitize the networks. Then add in the degenerate furry, homosexual, and pedo shit that the liberals/tech keep pushing. The Chinese don't put up with that shit either. So the young post millennials report that shit and TikTok will actually purge it.
