      The people here are complete idiots who see no issue with Chinese spyware, mass data collection for military uses, and their massive propaganda campaigns. TikTok was always meant to be a weapon for control, that’s why the app is banned in China. They have a different clone of the app that’s exclusive to the China that has an algorithm that heavily promotes positive and educational content.

      Presumably when China asked for your immigration status or sexual orientation, which they didn’t, it wasn’t to send you to the camps.

      So yeah, for Americans it would be worse.

      It will get worse than in China. It will be a tool to protect dictatorship in the usa, the american gestapo and protecting Israeli genocide
