alt Hacker NewsYou state that the US gov is banning it for money as if that’s a fact. I’d love to see the evidence for that.
The irony is that China bans essentially all US social media. I guess these users don’t care a ton their selfish bans?

OP didn't say "for money".
As per Mitt Romney, it was banned because TikTok contained too much anti-Israel content (remember, the push for the ban became really strong very soon after Oct 7 when the genocide began)

I read it as that's how they think of it. It doesn't actually matter if it's true or not.
