| ▲ | herval 5 months ago | parent [-] | | China didn't go after TikTok _alone_ - they reportedly went after anything deemed too addictive, including limiting the time spent on games. It was very clearly aimed towards reducing digital addiction (which is something us in the West still try to ignore as an epidemic) | | |
| ▲ | JumpCrisscross 5 months ago | parent [-] | | > China didn't go after TikTok _alone_ Because it was never there. Bytedance never launched TikTok in China. | | |
| ▲ | herval 5 months ago | parent [-] | | it's called Douyin. It's the same product, the same way a Mexican Coke is the same thing as an American Coke, and both are produced by the same company (Coca Cola). | | |

| ▲ | JumpCrisscross 5 months ago | parent [-] | | The analogy to Coca Cola? Let me make another comparison: the 737 Max with one AoA sensor was made by the same company that only sold the one with two in America. |

| ▲ | ruthmarx 5 months ago | parent | prev [-] | | Mexican Coke is different though. It doesn't use HFCS. | | |
| ▲ | cma 5 months ago | parent | next [-] | | It would be more like Coke was Mexican owned and HFCS was outlawed in Mexico. Then Mexican Coke used sugar and the Coke they exported to America used HFCS. And America said, hey, you're not consuming the same Coke you send here: we're going to ban you if you don't sell to us and our plan is to keep making HFCS Coke once we buy you. You were also hurting Pepsi (Facebook/Twitter), who also only plan on ever using HFCS. | |
| ▲ | wahnfrieden 5 months ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Yes it does. The US product called Mexican Coke doesn't, but Coke in Mexico does. | |
| ▲ | herval 5 months ago | parent | prev [-] | | Precisely. Like TikTok and Douyin. | | |
| ▲ | ruthmarx 5 months ago | parent [-] | | Except your analogy breaks as they are not the same product. | | |
| ▲ | herval 5 months ago | parent [-] | | Except they are | | |
| ▲ | ruthmarx 5 months ago | parent [-] | | No, buddy, they're not. If two products have the same name but different ingredients, they are categorically not the same product. You chose a bad analogy, that's all. |
