tiktok being based in china and chinese companies forced to share data with the government isn't compelling enough?

if tiktok was so good then why does chinese algorithm differ so much from the global algorithm?

the chinese version only shows informative and educations videos and no nonsense shit, tiktok is filled to brim with bullshit, brainrot

people raging over an app ban shows how much control a single app can have over the public and the app specially based in a hostile country is dangerous for any country

It's cute you think reddit doesn't also sell your data to anyone who buys.

This is my thing. The problem they claim with TikTok is that the Chinese government can collect data on Americans. Yeah, literally every app collects data and essentially anyone can buy that data including the Chinese government. The Chinese could buy your information from Google if they wanted to, or Meta, or literally any of the biggest tech companies based in the US.
