It looks like these raids are connected to trends on Tik Tok that are teaching kids how to make money from stolen and pirate goods.

I would suspect that criminals in China are using the connections or bribes to allow these activities to flourish on Tik Tok.
Apple should ban the app from the store until action is taken. No need to wait for law makers to take action about this terrible app that makes teens commit crimes and dangerous acts.
TikTok Community Is Encouraging People To Make A Quick Buck By Selling Fake AirPods Advertised As Real Retail Units
Teenagers are being misled by the TikTok to made heaps of cash by selling fake AirPods to customers while pretending they are real

Nooope
These articles are mostly a push to limit our internet freedoms with the “restrict act” I got 99 problems but ticktock ain’t one
I wouldn’t be surprised if those videos were put out by a group with roots leading back to the US military/intel community
Putin is having enough troubles keeping his tanks from running out of gas lol
TikTok is a fun app for low IQ people, that’s it, trying to take our freedoms by scaring the easily scared people is a trick as old as time
Also how many “teens” are in the market for $200 ear buds?
I mean when I was that age that’s not something that was remotely in my budget, but $50 ones, and at that point if you think you got Apple pro earbuds for $50 I think that’s GREAT for teens, they will learn a lesson on too good to be true
Fully understand IQ is genetic and can’t be changed with “education” so for those who are stupid and couldn’t afford the $200 real deal, honestly it makes them feel better and it’s not like they had the money to be a lost customer to APL anyways

“the enemy of my enemy is my friend” which is the same as saying “I’m going to fall on my own sword”.
None! That's why you sell them fake ones for $50, which are worth less than $5. It's a huge scam with millions of victims globally.
Not a scam, just junk stuff for sale, which also describes like 70% of what’s on Amazon, eBay, Walmart, etc
FB and Tiktok are both very bad actors in the tech space. If Chna blocked western social media then they know how it is used to destabilize society and grab data. They can take advantage of free market countries and do the same thing to you.
You can dislike two things and refuse to take sides you know.
