      On the other hand, it would be quite surprising if tiktok wasn’t collecting everything it could about its users.

        Like literally every American company does. I’m not a tankie and I’m definitely not a fan of China, but this is one of those situations where the US government doesn’t actually care about the issue, just that they’re not the one doing it

          True. I think the US government’s concern is the relationship bytedance has with the Chinese government. But considering how easily US companies will roll over and provide/sell user data I’m not sure how much different it really is over here.

          The government’s billionaire owners got worried TikTok would propagandize Americans in a wrong direction.
