How do you read that from my comment? This thread is full of speculative conspiracy theories because TikTok is Chinese owned. Almost all social media site have a content-creator monetization platform. Facebook has had it since 2017. X does. YouTube does. You think Instagram doesn't have a CSAM problem?

This is about a long history of the west attributing secret conspiracies to Asian people. We acknowledge this when it's about things like Cholera conspiracies in the 1800s but somehow cannot see it when it happens in our own time.

Social Media is inherently exploitative regardless of the nationality doing it. This problem is not platform exclusive and pretending like it is makes solving it impossible just like how the Chinese exclusion act didn't cure Cholera. (https://www.foundsf.org/index.php?title=Chinese_as_Medical_S...)
