> TikTok was banned because the US regime couldn't control it

The law is fine with TikTok being owned by a Nigerian.



Well, Nigeria is or can be controlled by the USA. China is an independent country.

Take a step back and consider how ridiculous this is. Every country in the world other than these six [1] is controlled by the U.S.?

That sounds about right.


If it was owned by a Nigerian tomorrow and kept the same CEO, board, employees and algorithm, do you honestly think it wouldn't immediately be banned again?
