Also Facebook but 🤫
Chinese intelligence has infiltrated so many avenues of the US that they’re considered a hostile nation. I guarantee you’d find Zuckerberg under the same scrutiny if Meta was repeatedly caught hacking into US military and intelligence systems.
With that being said, we should enable nation privacy legislation like the GDPR to protect against this behavior from all services.
Meta’s not hacking into our military because they have the keys.
I believe you have that reversed.

I’d be perfectly fine with banning Facebook too. In fact, let’s just make the behavior itself illegal, regardless which site engages in it.
While we’re at it, let’s do something really fun, like making corporate board members legally responsible for their companies actions.
This type of stuff will take forever to get into law, so in the meantime, TikTok can fuck off.
Hello? Based department?
Well . . . yeah
Warning!!! China can do what America is already doing!!!
Whataboutism doesn’t suddenly make the action ok. Two countries doing something wrong doesn’t suddenly excuse the act.

This is a bit late for a response, but it has to do with what protections are afforded by what entity. The US has very explicit treaties signed with allied nations. Canada, for instance is a five eye partner and thus has far less to worry about from the US than it does from China.
Additionally, China has an ongoing bad track record with how it treats other nations. Commercial entities within China are far more at the whim of the state government and are required to act in alignment with the CCP instructions.
People treat China differently because China is different. They very much are a different beast when it comes to authoritarian control of its commercial and private entries.
