Paranoia can be generated fairly easily. Be interesting to see if the US try banning AliExpress. Their app is fairly widespread I'm sure the general public can be convinced it's harvesting all of their data.

It (social media) is all banned, IIRC. TikTok is as well.
TikTok in China and in the west aren't one and the same according to my mate who works for ByteDance here in the UK. They're run separately too.
In terms of Chinese social media, it's WeChat and Sina Weibo that are in the main players, with the western apps being banned or heavily restricted.
Do they not think we (the west) are a great bunch of lads then?
so all in all, pretty good then
In a general sense, TikTok in China is aimed to providing education and support - it's far more culturally mature in the sense of what it shows.
I can't vouch for any of this - just what my friend says. In a general sense, the platforms in China allow far more control and manipulation by the state.
Apparently, WeChat is a like a combination of WhatsApp, Uber, Amazon, Apple Pay, a news outlet and your supermarket.
People I know who’ve done teaching in China have been explicitly told beforehand they’re not allowed to mention the ‘three T’s’ Tibet, Taiwan and Tiananmen. Not Tony Hibbert, Tom Davies and Tory Frank Lampard apparently.
As @hktoffee diplomatically stated, Tibet is none of anyone's business, especially the people of Tibet
It is mad. Don’t agree with western imperialism or western centric discourse but at least we don’t tell any foreign visitors they can’t discuss the Iraq war or our PM getting a blowie off a pig.
The US have identified everyone and their dog as a threat to security though, to be fair.
That's something I can truly get behind, for no geographical reason naturally.
