Don’t forget China blocks tiktok too.

China doesn’t block Douyin

But it does heavily restrict access for kids.

I don’t understand why you guys are trying to educate me on how Bytedance operates. It’s the same as how Weixin and WeChat work. China wants to moderate and curate Douyin but you guys still expect China not to get involved in Tik Tok. Sure it’s content is different but it’s literally the same thing with the same backdoor accessibility.

Hilariously, you can interpret what I said in two ways:

China do good by blocking kid access

China do bad by limiting kid exposure internally while letting tik Tok run amok internationally

I’m of the latter camp, personally.

What I don’t understand is the sentiment that China would want to let Tik Tok run amok but drills down on Douyin. All while at the same time they say “see China doesn’t allow Tik Tok either, it’s nothing like their child friendly great alternative Douyin”.
