No one is fighting for tiktok thinking it didn’t share info with China. The problem is China can just buy our data from a number of data brokers. Every social media, shopping, and US website collects your info to be sold. That’s the problem. The singled out tiktok bc China was collecting it free and people are learning how corrupt our US government is.
Welcome to every social media platform out there. Meta has done experiments on teens and helped genocides. Twitter/X is filled with Nazis and white nationalist. Truth social… enough said. Reddit had women abusive subreddits and child porn leaks. Those are a few examples of other platforms.
That is the problem, all of them are the same and should be under heavy regulation since they give access to children and our data. Twitter providing the Saudi government with users tweets which ends with them being arrested seems like a “your data” issue.
As an American, I would be appalled if my data were provided to the Chinese government for anything less than Meta charges to provide that info. It’s just unfair to TikTok and I believe in a free market in commoditizing the lives of human beings.
Having raw, fined grained telemetry about virtually every action you take and that can be upgraded to collect more details at will with a new app version push is way, way different than being able to say “show this ad to people in ZIP code 12345”
