Why is it a different product then? Does it allow the same content? Same algorithm?

Or is it different, and not an actual carbo copy?

They are different like McDonald's and Burger King. While similar, Douyin is only available for people in China and it's heavenly censored and have a lot propaganda from Chinese government.

What are you asking for exactly? You can't buy a whooper in McDonald's

The last portion of your comment. Curious if you had proof

Probably can't show you something that's censored and removed 😆

You can watch laowhy86 watching Douyin propaganda content https://youtu.be/3aYCG4vEe5s

Lmfao. Big true thank you for insight 💜💜

I've just heard that a lot but never really seen proof it happens.
