    one doesn’t have much to do with the other - shadowbanning clips mentioning taiwan, while amplifying clips that divide and inflame Americans, can be done without any private user data.

      Yeah that is true, and other platforms do the same things as well. It should really be fixed as the systemic issue that it is. Banning specifically tiktok means that all its users are just going to flock to another app that will do the same thing and nothing will change. There are many tiktok clones from ‘enemy states’ and allies alike that do it. I guess there isn’t a really good way to define what is and isn’t an intent to divide though.
