That sounds reasonable, but for me personally I think this is all about money, but I don't really follow the news keeping up with TikTok, so I could be oversimplifying.

An app designed this well to absorb your focus and ruin your attention span with an insanely aggressive content customizing algorithm is already evil enough without any other Boogeyman ideas behind the CCP (not that they aren't a Boogeyman, fuck the CCP. Nothing they do surprises me at this point.)
