Not that I use it or other apps, but aren't many US apps already collecting peoples data such as Google, FB, etc.?

I guess US collecting data from US people = sweet man
China collecting data from US people = douchebag

Yeah but Google and Facebook are US companies getting information on US citizens.

TikTok is getting information for the CCP.

Because China has your personal info and they are more likely to screw you over than the US apps.

The app takes more data from you than the social media apps.

Also the whole pedophile thing with it is terrible too.

TikTok is actual spyware. Of course I bet that's not the reason the Trump admin is banning it.

US - data is collected to sell you shit.

China - data is collected to control you.

This is what I don't understand. Every criticism and observation about Tik Tok's data-gathering tech is also present and applies to social media in the west as well. Facebook and Twitter are the same way. I think part of it is also knee-jerk reactions hating stuff "the kids are into these days".

Umm stealing your info to buy them Chinese stocks. Did you not see Sony getting hacked. And again?

its a conspiracy. They hire new gen trenders to get the populace going then secretly steal your info. Didnt someone post something like China is scanning your face, your social status and your identity if you are a criminal or whatnot? Your human worth or some shit. Same with the fb old people filter. Even gfaqs...
