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
Sure buddy. And 9/11 was an inside job and airplanes are spreading chem-trails to control the population and weather too.
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?
It does matter. Because the US can do it if they decide to. They have significant power over companies based in their country.
They do not have significant power over companies NOT based in their country.
