People like him are fairly common in positions that require high security clearance levels, because the more fundamentalist religious types generally don't drink, use drugs, or do anything else that might raise flags on a background check, and tend to be "rah rah America" as a bonus. There are a lot of Mormons and 7th Day Adventists working in US military intelligence.

Right now they're claiming they will shut down instead of selling, which sure isn't supporting their argument that they're a legitimate and normal corporation that's just here for profit. But words are cheap, we'll see what they actually do.

It is really funny seeing internet hammer and sickle avatar people going to bat for a giant tech corporation, almost worth it just for that.

Apparently the "secret sauce" algorithm used by TikTok is also core to the operations of the parent company and their most profitable product: a news aggregation app that uses AI to show people clickbait articles.
