I do not trust Microsoft, Google, YouTube, Facebook & Twitter. These company are controlled by the Democratic Party’s & the CCP. TicTok broke the rules 2x +violated the law. No more chances. Abolish it and destroy the program completely. The communist party uses it to spy on people. Its not the only social media forum needing sanctioned. If China had human rights and ended communism,they would prosper.🛑⚰
