Now THAT is a reason right there.

But instead of killing the goose why not have it lay some golden eggs for you?

An intelligent administration would lure the sheep with a promise of a bigger better TikTok.

They would have had the cream of the crop developing a version that's searchable, has idiotproof special effects software to design kick ass clips, contests and cash prizes, a companion TV show running clips and interviewing contributors in a once a week prime time TV slot.

Then they would launch it all: TikTok USA. And give everyone a $200 check for signing up and closing their original account.
