And you think nobody outside of the US is interested in preventing the US from having a total propaganda stranglehold on their own population?

How would you prevent that? The US can just ban Tiktok anytime and gain that prop stranglehold.

But that would be a very unpopular move that might even be counter-productive while selling them Tiktok would just be handing them everything they want on a silver platter.

Do you think the current administration gives a shit if a move is unpopular? That's their whole shtick.

The current administration is the one keeping TikTok alive in the US. Trump has delayed the ban twice now.
