Say what you want about tiktok but damn if it isn't extremely effective at sending information out of reach from governments, I don't know what it is. You can see they fear it hard.

It's directly controlled by Chinese government so please don't tell me TikTok would be out of reach... maybe for US Government :D It is only effective in spreading stuff that CCP supports or doesn't effect them.
