    I’m much less concerned with what they’re giving than what they’re taking with the app. It’s been shown to collect message history and photo library data, that alone is a threat to us all.

      I agree! Both are issues, but I was giving a different context where a TikTok user may not care about it being under the thumb of the CCP.

        Why would I care? Is it somehow better for google or facebook to profit off of my data? China doesn’t even solely own the app. They don’t even own enough of the app to censor it and so it’s banned in China lmao
