So why do they want Americans to use TikTok? It's not like they can't live without it, and anyway, they still have Youtube and Instagram short videos, etc. It's also not to show other countries that US is better and not banning foreign apps (like China does for example), since showing a good example won't change what other countries do. Is it because they know it's a more addictive service that they then control and can influence people's minds? Is it for their friends to make money off this split?
