White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Saturday revealed further details of a deal reached between the U.S. and China over control of the popular social media platform TikTok, sharing that six Americans will sit on the seven-seat board that will control the company and that the U.S. would control the app's algorithm.

"This deal does put America first," Leavitt told Fox News on Saturday. "And let me just be very clear. This deal means that TikTok will be majority-owned by Americans in the United States. There will be seven seats on the board that controls the app in the United States, and six of those seats will be Americans."

USA: pro free market!

USA: unless it’s better than ours. Then you have to give it to us.

It seems the US only likes the free market as long as it’s exploitative and spreads their control.
