The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.

Based on recent evidence, maybe the CCP > US Government.

People on here are unfortunately very ignorant on the doings of the CCP. People here don't realize that the US hasn't lapsed China in tyranny, they're merely catching up. The CCP has mastered authoritarianism to the point where they're in a league of their own.

Regardless, it doesn't matter either way because it's not a competition. If we walk down the path choosing between two evils, we'll quickly find ourselves racing to the bottom, and we all lose. Luckily, it doesn't have to be that way, we can simply reject tyranny in its entirety regardless of country, ideology, or regime.
