    Because the USA strong armed them into giving their platform handling to Oracle Corp, a top tier US govt contractor.

    But since pro-palestine cries can’t be silenced on TikTok as easily as Zio media, taking control of the platform is no longer enough

        It’s the same thing, the international one was called TikTok and the US version is handled by Oracle

        It’s called douyin or something idk in China but it’s the same shit
