The government is trying to ban it because it “collects data on users.” So does every other app or website. What makes Tik Tok so dangerous?

it collects data on users, and then sends that data directly to the CCP

Here in America, we don't do that! We collect data on users, and then SELL it to the CCP!

It’s not bad when Americans in Silicon Valley collect the same data. Only when China does

This begs the question. What other apps are Chinese owned that do the same thing. Tik Tok is just the hot new app so it’s getting a lot of attention. I’d have to think the Chinese have developed more popular apps in the US than just TT and We Chat

There are legal protections in the US for US citizens, none in China.

The government just wants an American company to buy it so they can buy the data instead of China getting it

nobody actually cares about collecting data, that is just political fodder

China.


I wish there was a way to cut them off from anything involving tech. They're dug into us like ticks.

I'd be willing to pay more for tech items not coming from China...We've invited them behind closed doors.

I love how they pick these names (JEDI, CARES act, etc.) and then have to grasp at straws trying to find applicable words for them to make sense

Apparently China is collecting data on US citizens. Which I have no doubt they’ve been doing for a long time. The same way that guy who made that aging app sold the data to the Russians, supposedly. This is the digital age. If agencies want intel on you, they can get it.
