    The only issue I’ve ever had with TikTok is that it’s the Chinese government spying on American citizens in a way they don’t allow America to do to theirs. Not that either instance is right but you can’t say something is wrong and not allowed and do it yourself.

      But America spies on non-American citizens in the exact same way as TikTok does. The US complaining here is just hypocrisy. And the US has been doing it for far longer than the Chinese have.

      So as a European citizen there is no difference between USian or Chinese Big Tech in terms of spying on me.

        China doesn’t let anyone spy on their citizens as they ban all foreign social media etc. That’s the difference.
