      Facebook is just American spyware. The Chinese gov can’t exactly send the feds to my house. You better bet the US gov can though!

        Forget countries, if Facebook is like having a prying eye spy on you, TikTok is like having 100 prying eyes spying on you.

            Are you actually this ignorant? There have been exposés in multiple international newspapers on the source code after it leaked.

            If you’re so stupid that you’ve entirely missed one of the largest spyware scandals in recent history, then I don’t think there’s a source I can give you that’s going to cure your other stupidity.

            Trying to jaq off here like you are just makes you look like pathetic.

              Could you link to any source that talks about this spyware or are you just going to insult me for not knowing about every single thing that is going on? Clearly this is an important issue for you, so I would love to gain some knowledge from you on this subject.

      Eh, I used to think this too, but TikTok isn’t closely associated with chinese companies, any more than TakeTwo or anything made in Shenzhen.

      I still abhor it for what it is though, alongside YTShorts.
