And nothing of value will have been lost. It’s pretty clear that people don’t care about surveillance or influence, or whatever. They just want to be popular and/or be distracted. Once Red Book bans them, sequesters them, or limits their access somehow, they’ll have to migrate again, and I bet the majority won’t pick a fediverse alternative.
Giving so much information and influencial power to a dictatorship is crazy. China is not a friendly country, they are on the brink of a war with Taiwan, they commit genocides, and have the power to rewrite history.
Sure, Musk and Zuckerberg also influence elections, but at least they’re under American law. TikTok is not just “some” Chinese company. It is controlled by China.
