> I'll be honest, your reply is kind of all over the place, so I don't know what you're trying to get at.

I'll put it in a very simple TikTok format for you: TikTok is just the same as any other social media platform which is fundamentally in the interests of the investors (they want to IPO with a massive return on investment); Not you or the users. Why do you think I quoted 'used' here? [0]

> How are you expecting TikTok to "screw" its users?

They already did [1][2], which is my point. Therefore, I do not have any confidence that they will change or how they are any different to other social media platforms. Yet you continue to deny such basic things like 'censorship' [3] even when another user pointed out a source [4] that included leaked information about TikTok's own suppression actions; completely debunking your vacuous claim.

> And what's the big deal with users just leaving the platform if this does happen?

That's not my problem. Another platform will just take its place and screw over their users over the interest of the investors (If they take capital).

So far with all your responses, you have provided ZERO evidence to your claims. I will ask one more time: 'How long until the users get screwed (once again)?'
