      Tik Tok is the only tencent company I know if that’s been labeled a national security risk.

            And the owner of Riot Games is Tencent, that and WeChat stick out from the rest of the list because they are owned and developed by Tencent instead of just Tencent owning stock

              I was just listing everything from the top of my head of things I knew they had a holding in… I mean it is a holdings company or whatever the term is… So it’s what they do… Buy all these stakes in random companies for profit… But I would say Blackrock is probably worse fuck blackrock

              If you believe the Chinese government is spying on you through a video game, you’re mentally unwell. If you believe it’s unethical to monetarily support a Chinese company because ( bad thing the CIA said through its media division ), but you see no problem with supporting any other large corporation, you’re either a racist or a hypocrite.

                Lots of video games contain root kits labeled as “anti-cheat” that run at ring 0 of your computer, even more access than the OS. Yes they take info, and it has access to everything.

          Activision Blizzard

          I think the MSFT buyout eliminated their stake in ABK?

          Again, non of those have been legally banned in the US.

          I’m not saying those companies don’t exist? Just answering the question of who the top commenter was referring to, which in my opinion is Tik Tok because it’s the only one being legally banned.
