You think the problem with tiktok was that it was simply made in China?
Not the fact that it collected vast amount of data from everyone?
And here’s a friendly reminder that Lenovo has had their very fair share of problems regarding security and data collection too.
So it works exactly like every other social media app, but made in… China?
But the data is sent to China for them to analyze and create models of citizen movement, influencing forgein citizens by deciding what content they see.
Yes. A government is ok with tracking their own citizens. But don’t want other governments to track their citizens.
collecting vast amount of data ? facebook does that too and instagram and google and who knows what else
Yes. But the US can control US based companies, and create laws regarding how that data is used. They can’t control a chineese one.
Do you understand how the US government might think it’s a problem that foreign countries get access to every step their citizens take?
us gov IS controlled by us corps they banned tiktok to get rid of competition. with the ever green excuse in amerikkkan politics of appealing to racism
But the US can control US based companies, and create laws regarding how that data is used
Does that matter if they don’t create said laws - since they’re equally interested in their citizens data as facebook, google, etc. are?
Yes, we should ban all those, too. Or just enforce EU style privacy laws in America.
even IF it was true why would u give a shit about a foreign government having ur data, then assholes that are gonna swat u or kidnap u into an unlabeled van arent gonna be foreign they dont fucking care its gonna be ur government doing that shit.
