      It’s the same old Yankee speech: “is chinese so must be really bad”. They’re definitely no worse than google or facebook.

        They come from an environment where the government actively encourages and sometimes funds stealing copyrighted information couched in a strong history of disregard for human rights. I’m not defending Google, and yes the US government has given them leeway, but if there is the potential for something worse than Google - Bytedance is it.

          We’re not talking about the United States, man.

          So you’re saying they’re not worse than Google, but they have the potential to be?
