How TikTok Held 170,000,000 Americans Hostage

The potential ban on TikTok raises questions about free speech versus national security, as users feel ‘hostage’ to the app. There's a heated debate on Elon Musk's possible involvement with TikTok, reminiscent of reactions to his ownership of Twitter/X. Censorship on the platform highlights the illusion of free speech, as its algorithm selectively promotes narratives. Misunderstandings about TikTok's manipulation and its ties to the Chinese Communist Party further complicate the discourse, challenging users to recognize broader influences.
