About 59% of Americans say TikTok a threat to the national security of the United States, according to a new survey of U.S. adults.

Not to mention the data mining being done is an issue with Google and Meta too. And this isn’t to excuse tiktok. It’s to say that Google and Meta have to start being put in check too, since it’s all getting so out of hand that isn’t no longer just concerns of specific nations. It’s an international concern that we are all in together regardless of where we are from and what international or domestic company we are dealing with.
You can’t even pay for YouTube premium to stop treating you like the product for example, since your viewing and browsing habits will be data mined anyways. The phrase if you don’t pay you are the product has ceased to be relevant. We are the product no matter how much we pay and no true opt out. Even just the contact lists people keep and use with messenger apps are uploaded exposing our personal numbers and names to services of companies we don’t even use.
I get that you aren’t excusing TikTok. You rightly point out the double standard. It’s okay if an Amurican (misspelling intentional) company mines data and sells out its own citizens? I think not.
It’s not great, but no public company has the ability to start a war with the US and utilize that data for that purpose.
You don’t think corporations are at war with the American people?
No. What a bizarre thing to say
So you really have no concept of class warfare? What’s that like for you?
Living in reality is pretty dope
You live in a delusional communist fantasy world
Mining data is a good thing.
