The Spin

Narrative A

TikTok has had to work hard to meet European regulation standards, but it has not taken their demands lightly and is in the final stages of security measure implementation. With over 5K workers continent-wide, the platform is growing the EU economy while simultaneously prioritizing user privacy.

Narrative B

TikTok should not just be regulated, but completely banned from countries that wish to protect their youth from the prying eyes of the PRC. At the very least, as the app's main demographic is 16 to 24-year-olds, parents should be blocking their children from using this dangerous and unnecessary platform. The safety and security of nations in the West are at stake here.
