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.

      They will comply with any court order. They won’t hand over unfettered access like TikTok has to in China.

      You think the American government is as bad as the CCP in this regard?

        Considering the CCP can’t arrest Americans but the US government can, it makes no sense to be more afraid of china on a personal level.

          And that is exactly what the Ukrainians thought about Russia. These are all actions intended to gain an edge to enable a potential future conflict. They are acting like it. We should too. War in the South China Sea is something everyone should be afraid of.

            That would be a very convincing arguement if China bordered the US.

              Very American of you. Americans felt the same way about the Japanese until 1941. Then it was about control of the newly important resource of oil.

                  Not only is that factually false with them invading Alaska, it’s like you’re saying that you’d be okay with another world war because we would win in the end. I would personally prefer to deter one which this effort is a part of.

                    I’d be OK with another World War against Russia, sure. They can’t even beat Ukraine lol

                    China will not engage in war with the US because it would obliterate their economy.

        Yes, yes I do. Also the CCP can’t ruin my life, unlike Uncle Sam. Deciding which one is more evil is irrelevant.

          Well, the majority of Americans disagree with you per this article. A world war with China absolutely would ruin a lot of lives. I cannot even comprehend how you could come to the conclusion otherwise.

            The majority of americans are fuckin stupid and believe whatever their TV programming tells them to believe.

            Who said anything about war?? I’m staying “in this regard”, which is about privacy and data being taken and used by a government. Outside of that context yes I think the CCP is absolutely worse than the US in just about every category. There’s no question there.

              Read the title of this thread again. This thread is about if TikTok is a threat to national security. This thread is about war.

                That’s not what I was responding to but in any case, no, I don’t think tiktok is a threat to national security or going to cause a war. This is FUD.
