I think it’s even more ominous. From whta I’ve read the american version of tiktok will be entirely cut off from the international version. This means even people circumventing the algorithm will not have access to non-american opinions and will not be able to either cry for help or get outside (less biased) perspective. From a selfish non-american perspective I think it’s really good that the rest of the world will be isolated from the source of facism, but it sure does suck for americans and it also gives china what they wanted in the end. Trump did build a wall, a great firewall.
The greatest thing about getting the ttmc version of tiktok outside of the lack of ads is the very international algorithm. A solid half of the content I see (besides the 2 video “popular” injection that happens every 8-10 videos) is from outside the US.
