Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (yes, even Twitter), YouTube, and Snapchat pose a far greater risk to you than TikTok. I know that’s a hard pill to swallow following the hysterical TikTok fear-mongering that’s permeated the corporate media since 2019. But if you’re an American conservative or free thinker, Big Tech and its sinister partnership with the deep state and powerful corporations are trying to suppress your worldview far more than China.
Elon Musk’s explosive “Twitter Files” revealed how the FBI operated as a liaison between Twitter and federal agencies, such as the State Department, Pentagon, and CIA, to control public discourse via unconstitutional censorship and political targeting. The Federal government had a hand in everything from Twitter’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, its suspension of President Trump, its promotion of the Russian collusion hoax, its censorship of Covid information deviating from the Fauci narrative, and more.

The deep state used Twitter (and undoubtedly other platforms) to interfere in the 2020 presidential election in favor of Joe Biden. We also know a disproportionate amount of the victims of Twitter’s shadow-banning regime were American conservatives.
Nowadays, every other major social media platform has forfeited its role as a digital town square. There is no free flow of information; this includes Elon-run Twitter. Instead, they are machines utilized by our overlords to control the narrative — politically and socially — in order to maintain a one-party system.
Enter TikTok. Owned by the Chinese-run company ByteDance, TikTok has a massive active American user base of 150 million people and, most importantly, is not beholden to the American deep state.
How do I know? Because the U.S. intelligence community, the Biden Administration, Congressional Democrats, and Congressional Republicans all want to ban the app in an exceptionally rare instance of mass bipartisanship.
To address TikTok, Congress put forth the RESTRICT Act, which is aptly referred to colloquially as the “PATRIOT Act 2.0.” In the name of “national security,” the proposed RESTRICT Act would, without oversight, allow the Federal Commerce Department to outright ban social media platforms like TikTok and give it access to American users’ data and browsing histories. It may also criminalize the use of virtual private networks (VPNs) since they can be used to download contraband apps.
The RESTRICT Act is part of the “disinformation” fear campaign — a transparent effort by the federal government to retake the control it lost at the advent of social media. Any information inconvenient to the managerial class is labeled “disinformation” and slapped with “fact checks” or outright deleted.
When the state is not the arbiter of truth, its credibility is threatened, and if its credibility is threatened, so is its continuation. This is why the government has infiltrated Big Tech and why it wants to annihilate the companies it can’t control.
To be clear, no reasonable person denies that TikTok poses a unique risk to the American public. I have written about the dangers of CCP influence on TikTok and even uncovered a potential Chinese influence campaign on American youths. I’m also not saying TikTok is immune to censorship — it isn’t.
But TikTok is no worse and, for conservatives, arguably better than American tech companies, which are uniquely positioned to attack the right and any free-thinking individual that correctly criticizes the American state or its corporate allies.
For instance, in a Live Action video featuring a discussion between pro-life activist Lila Rose and OB-GYN Dr. John Bruchalski, Rose states that abortion, defined in the video as the direct and intentional ending of an unborn baby’s life, is never medically necessary. The video was labeled “false information” on Instagram. However, no such label appears on the same video posted to Live Action’s TikTok account.
In another example, an apolitical Instagram reel about Corn Flakes and its negative impact on libido was flagged by Instagram as “false,” but on TikTok, the exact same video was left untouched.
The fact-checking regime, beholden to the federal government and mega-corporations like Kellogg’s (owner of Corn Flakes) and the lucrative abortion industry, clearly doesn’t have control of TikTok. Every echelon of the federal government wants TikTok gone for the benefit of themselves and their donors, not the American people.
Without drawing a false equivalency between Communist China and America, we cannot forget the real and immediate threat our own government poses to our freedom. The American state pays disingenuous homage to the Constitution while deploying a Covid vaccine psyop on the American public, interfering in our elections, infiltrating Catholic Churches, and labeling parents at school board meetings “domestic terrorists.”
It has created a two-tier justice system where Christians are labeled “white supremacists,” peaceful pro-life activists have had their homes raided by federal agents, and peaceful January 6 protestors are ruthlessly persecuted by state prosecutors and defamed during a Congressional show trial. Meanwhile, BLM rioters and pro-abortion terrorists are routinely let off the hook. And while China is throwing Uighur Muslims in concentration camps, America is supporting global sex trafficking by cartels and curating its own Communist-style social credit system.
You pick your poison with social media apps. None of the major companies are genuinely legitimately fair platforms. Their algorithms and content moderation (a.k.a censorship) are impacted by unseen forces. Conservatives know that American tech companies, however, are controlled by the deep state and corporations that hate us. And while TikTok may answer to the CCP, conservatives enjoy a markedly freer user experience on the app.
Our day-to-day lives, laws, and elections are undeniably impacted by the free flow of communication on social media. Without competing platforms like TikTok, the information ecosystem is regulated solely by partisan Big Tech executives, corporations, and the U.S. government. If this is the case, free speech in America’s digital public square dies.
