Douyin.

Only one Chinese national on the board of parent company, Bytedance (the founder, Zhang Yiming) and they just hired an American to handle their security.

My 10 yr old figured out how to do a VPN in 2 minutes

so today trump said he would "allow" Microsoft to buy TikTok as long as the US Treasury got paid.  since his government was "enabling" the sale, he needs a cut.

just wow.
